Gene Technology

The purpose of selective breeding is to 

• Get bigger animals
• get smaller animals
• create animals with desirable traits
• create animals with bad traits

What is a genome?

• The complete set of DNA for an organism (human).

• A garden ornament

• The sum of all human material.

• A totally unique set of genetic material not shared with anything else

Evidence shows that the gray wolf is the ancestor to all of the breeds of dogs shown below. How did this variation arise in a relatively short period of time?

• Random Selection

• Natural selection

• Random chance

• Selective breeding
