Give three examples of artificial selection Include examples of both animals and plants?
Answer/Example : A farmer crosses two kinds of corn. He produces a new, better tasting type of corn. -Holy122
More Details :
Artificial selection occurs when a likeable trait is found within a member of a species. Said species is then either outcrossed or inbred with another member of the species to pass on and refine the trait. After a period of time the genes will hopefully be 'fixed' into the population.
An example of artificial selection was in England a few centuries ago when people would breed together pigeons with long tail feathers to create pigeons that had longer and longer tail feathers, which where used in women's hats. Another everyday example of artificial selection is how farmers breed together certain animals to get desirable traits (like breeding together certain cows to get one that will produce the tastiest beef or something.)
dog breeds
a dog breed is a group of genetically and phenotypically similar dogs sharing characteristic traits and bred from a stock of individuals which were selected for these traits.
What else can I help you with?
Has the the lion been exposed to the process of artificial selection?
Yes, lions have not been exposed to the process of artificial selection because they are wild animals and have not been bred selectively by humans for specific traits or characteristics. Artificial selection typically involves intentional breeding of domesticated animals or plants to enhance desirable traits.
How has artificial selection been used to shape the looks and behavior of farm animals such as the cow and family pets such as the domesticated dog?
Humans select certain traits from a dog or cow's offspring to use for whatever purpose they have in mind. These traits are then passed on down to future offspring and selected further by other humans who purchase and use the animals for their use. Thus that's what "artificial selection" is all about: humans doing the genetic selection and looking for certain qualities in domesticated animals that they can "exploit" or use to their advantage.
Explain the difference between artificial and natural selection?
Artificial selection is anthropogenic -- humans interfere with nature to determine what traits get passed on, whereas natural selection is when through sexual reproduction the traits passed on are determined by survival of the fittest.
What are the examples of the omnivers animals?
An animale that eats everything like meat and vegs.
What was in the Darwin's book the Origin of Species?
One long argument with supporting evidence for the theory of evolution by natural selection. Starting with artificial selection, used as an analogue for natural selection, and ending with the distribution of animals, biogeography, Darwin showed the species arose through natural process over long lengths of time.
What are non examples of sexual reproduction?
Animals in the wild breeding, such as squirrels, rabbits, deer, elephants, etc., are not selective breeding (artificial selection).
What is breeding of plants and animals with certain traits to produce offspring with those traits?
artificial selection
What are examples of both biotic and abiotic selection factors?
Examples of biotic selection factors include predation, competition for resources, and symbiotic relationships. Examples of abiotic selection factors include temperature, precipitation, soil pH, and sunlight availability.
What describes artificial selection?
Artificial selection refers to the process of intentionally breeding desirable traits in either plants or animals. It is also known as selective breeding.
Why is artificial selection important to people?
Artificial selection allows people to selectively breed plants and animals for desired traits, such as disease resistance, increased productivity, or specific physical attributes. This process has been key in developing agricultural crops, livestock breeds, and companion animals that better serve human needs. Ultimately, artificial selection has contributed significantly to food security, economic development, and cultural practices around the world.
What concept is selectively breeding plants and animals to accentuate certain characteristics?
artificial selection
What are the methods of manipulating growth in farm animals?
Diet variances and artificial selection practices.
Compare and contrast natural selection and artificial selection?
Natural selection is when contemporary species rose from ancestors that survived due to their physical characteristics in their habitats. A well-known example is the Galapagos Islands and how the animals on the islands adapted to their environments. Darwin convinced the biology world that diversity in organisms came from evolution (descent without modification). Artificial selection is when humans intentionally breed animals for certain traits. Unlike natural selection, where only the fittest survive, artificial selection is for human's likings. Many crops that are grown are part of artificial selection.
Is artificial selection an agent of evolutionary change?
NO. Both artificial and natural selection are forms of Evolution in general. Both cause variation by selection within a particular population. The only difference is who is doing the selection, humans or nature.
Selectively breeding plants and animals to accentuate certain characteristics demostrates which concepts?
artificial selection
How was the domestication of animals and plants was appiled to the theory of natural selstion?
These plants and animals were subjected to artificial selection so that the traits humans wanted in the organisms were selected for and the organisms not having these traits were culled. This, with some modification, is a good analogue for natural selection and artificial selection shows how organisms can be shaped over time with the proper selective pressures. The selective pressure of humans in artificial selection and the selective pressure of the environment in natural selection.
Humans used blank to select desirable breeds of animals or strains of plants to cultivate?
artificial selection
