Selective Breeding: Process and Consequences

This page delves deeper into the process of selective breeding and its potential consequences. It begins by emphasizing the importance of selecting the largest female organism for breeding purposes.

The text then outlines the stages of selective breeding:

  1. Desired characteristics from a mixed population are bred together.
  2. Offspring are continually bred using genetic engineering to produce the desired characteristics.
  3. Normal reproduction is avoided as it would cause variation.

Highlight: The process of selective breeding involves careful selection and controlled reproduction to maintain and enhance specific traits.

However, the page also highlights the disadvantages of selective breeding:

Quote: "Selective breeding greatly reduces the variety of alleles in a population. If environmental conditions were to change climatechangeordiseaseclimate change or disease, it is possible that the species could not adapt and they could all die."

This statement underscores a critical issue with selective breeding - the reduction of genetic diversity. While selective breeding can produce organisms with highly desirable traits, it also narrows the gene pool, potentially making the population more vulnerable to environmental changes or diseases.

Vocabulary: Alleles are different versions of the same gene. A diverse pool of alleles in a population contributes to genetic variability and adaptability.

The text implies that breeding closely related organisms inbreedinginbreeding may cause problems, although it doesn't elaborate on these issues. This is an important consideration in selective breeding programs.

Example: In dog breeding, excessive inbreeding can lead to health problems such as hip dysplasia in certain breeds.

Overall, this page presents a balanced view of selective breeding, acknowledging its benefits while also warning about its potential risks to long-term species survival and adaptability.

Species and Crossbreeds

This page introduces the fundamental concepts of species and crossbreeds in biology. It begins by providing a clear definition of species in Biology.

Definition: A species is an organism that can interbreed with another similar organism and produce fertile offspring.

The text then contrasts this with crossbreeds, which are typically infertile due to genetic engineering or interspecies breeding.

Example: Examples of crossbreeds include ligers, zorses, geeps, and mules.

The page also lists examples of species in Biology, such as dogs, cats, lions, and tigers. It's important to note that all dogs, despite their varied breeds, belong to the same species.

The concept of selective breeding is then introduced.

Definition: Selective breeding is the process where humans choose animals or plants with desirable characteristics to breed together, hoping that the offspring will inherit these qualities.

The text outlines several qualities that selective breeding aims to enhance:

  1. Disease-resistant crops or plants
  2. Animals that produce more meat or milk
  3. Domestic dogs or farm animals with a gentle nature
  4. Large, unusual, or brightly colored flowers

Highlight: Selective breeding is a powerful tool in agriculture and animal husbandry, allowing humans to enhance specific traits in organisms over generations.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Best app on earth! no words because it’s too good

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

This apps acc the goat. I find revision so boring but this app makes it so easy to organize it all and then you can ask the freeeee ai to test yourself so good and you can easily upload your own stuff. highly recommend as someone taking mocks now
