What else can I help you with?
Who uses selective breeding the most?
Farmers
What Jobs use selective breeding and cloning?
Farmers use selective breeding all the time.
What process is a common practice that has been used by farmers for hundreds of year to develop new plant and animal varieties?
It is called selective breeding.
How has selective breeding helped in dairy farms in the United States?
By using selective breeding the farmers can get bedder produce out of the offspring of the animals.
How can selective breeding help farmers?
Selective breeding is a way of maintaining animal existence. Selective breeding is when the strong survive. If only the weak survived then all animals would die out quickly
Why is selective breeding useful for farmers?
Selective breeding allows farmers to produce plants and animals with desirable traits such as higher yields, improved disease resistance, or better quality products. This can help increase productivity, efficiency, and profitability in farming operations. Additionally, it helps farmers adapt to changing environmental conditions and market demands.
What process would farmers use to produce vegetables that will grow in a specific climate?
Selective breeding
When farmers select the largest hogs the fastest horses or the cows that produce the most milk for breeding is called?
This is called selective breeding or artificial selection, opposed to natural selection.
Selective breeding as practiced by farmers is also called natural selectiontrue or false?
False. Selective breeding, practiced by farmers, involves intentionally choosing specific individuals with desired traits for breeding purposes. Natural selection, on the other hand, refers to the process by which organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce, leading to evolutionary changes over time.
When a dairy faarmer chooses to breed the cows that give the most milk in the herd the farmers are following the principle of?
Selective breeding and artificial selection.
Does selective breeding benefit farmers?
Selective breeding can provide a preferred quality of food for the farmer. This means that the food produced will be preferred by customers, resulting in a larger sale and profit. Selective breeding can also increase the percentage yield of the food produced.However, selective breeding often means breeding the animals with relatives to achieve the 'ideal' quality. This results in a greater chance of genetic diseases being passed on. It also means that very little new genetic material is introduced into the gene pool, which means that most animals will have similar genes. When this happens, a new strain of disease could easily wipe out the entire farm as there is little variation between species.This also applies to plants.Another Opinion:Actually there's a few holes in the above answer, especially the second paragraph. Selective breeding is not just about line-breeding or inbreeding. Selective breeding is about selecting and breeding those animals that are best suited to meet the standards set by a producer. The animals that are not ideal for the goals and objectives that the producer has in mind, which are called inferior livestock, are simply culled from the herd or flock.Inbreeding or linebreeding is used as a means of selective breeding, but only has a means to purify a particular breed, to allow genetic abnormalities to raise their ugly heads in order to see which animals are carriers of these genetic diseases and whether they should be culled or not. Sure inbreeding could cause animals to have a poorer immune system, but that's only if a producer gets really careless with the inbreeding program and has no herd health or biosecurity program to prevent this from happening.So yes, selective breeding does benefit producers but only if it's used with care and a bit of common sense.
What is the definition of selective breeding?
Selective breeding is when you mate specific plants or animals to pass on a certain genetic trait they may have. For example, if you have two horses with very strong hearts then you may want to breed them so that their offspring may also have a strong heart. Farmers use selective breeding to breed the best plants and animals for feeding, selling or breeding.
