TYPES OF BREEDING Selective Breeding Terms * When you breed plants‚ the results are known as cultigens‚ cultivars or varieties. When there is a cross of animals‚ the results are referred to as crossbreeds‚ while a cross of plants results in hybrids. Similar methods are used in animal and plant breeding. When animals with desirable traits are selected‚ they are bred through the process of culling for particular for traits. Culling is the process of selecting livestock based on desired criteria

Bred animals are known as breeds‚ while bred plants are known as varieties‚ cultigens‚ or cultivars. The cross of animals results in what is called a crossbreed‚ and crossbred plants are called hybrids. In animal breeding techniques such

Genetically Modified Plants and Animals Why should we know about the genetic modification of plants and animals? In this world today we are seeing different labels on our foods but does anyone even really know what they mean? For example what is the difference between a regular tomato and an organic tomato? We should know what foods we are consuming and how they affect our bodies. I believe that more regulations should be put into place by the Food and Drug Administration so that we are better

The Ethics behind selective breeding Selective breeding‚ or artificial selection‚ is a process whereby evolution is overridden so that only organisms with required traits are selected by humans to reproduce over many generations; often resulting in highly productive crops or farm animals‚ or desirable pet breeds (see figure 1). As evolution‚ or natural selection‚ most commonly only allows the fittest‚ strongest and healthiest to survive‚ by-passing this progression can risk adverse organism development

Selective breeding in dogs. Also known as artificial selection‚ is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to develop particular traits on the animals such as how they look or to produce certain exaggerated traits. There are many different types of traits that make reason for selective breeding‚ mainly physical‚ and only some for good emotional and disease blocking purposes. In a lot of ways‚ this is similar to inbreeding in humans. Selective Breeding a bad thing because

What is the breeding program at SeaWorld? The breeding program is where scientists breed orcas through natural ways or artificial insemination. Artificial insemination is where female orcas are impregnated without having to come in contact with a male orca. When scientists do this‚ they take the male orca’s reproductive cells and inject it inside the female orca‚ so her eggs will be fertilized. Occasionally‚ the scientists have to breed them this way because orcas will sometimes refuse to mate in

Artificial Selection in Animal Breeding Curse or blessing? Today humans use selective breeding to make our daily life easier. We use it in food products‚ we use it in humans which is also known as eugenics but we do it especially in animals. Charles Darwin also known as the father of evolution used selective breeding to help gather proof for his schedueled system for how evolution works by experimenting with animals such as birds. This topic has gotten alot of contreversy as it is considered as
