| In a Nutshell, what is Selective Breeding? | -Simply just Breeding the Best Organisms, and then Breeding the Best Offspring's to make that Variation the most Common One
-Forced Natural Selection :) [Incest] |
| What can some of the Best Features be, in Selective Breeding? | -Maximum amount of Yield of that Resource [Meat, Milk, Grain, Corn]
-Good Health, and Resistance to Disease
-Animals need Temperament, Speed, Fertility, Good Mothering Skills...
-Plants need Attractive, Smell, Size.... |
| What happens in Selective Breeding? | -Parents that have the Best [Desired] Characteristics are Selected, and then Bred Together
-They make a Mix of Offspring's - Pick 2 that have the Desired Characteristics, and breed them Together
-Repeat this, until you are Satisfied with the overall Population |
| How can Selective Breeding be used to Combine 2 Different Desirable Characteristics? | -Have a Pig, which has Large Bacon Yield, but little Disease Resistance, and another Pig which is Complete Opposite to that
-Cross Breed these Pigs to make Offspring's, and Cross-breed again to make another Generation
-Pick out which one has Both of the Desired Characteristics, and Done |
| What is the Main Disadvantage of Selective Breeding? | -The Gene Pool is Reduced massively, as well you are Restricting it to the Alleles you only Want, and only keep breeding from the Same Parents [Inbreeding]
-Genetic Disorders may be more Frequent when Inbreeding
-New Disease with no Resistance too can really be Cataclysmic for the Population, as its all closely Related |
