1 LO: SWBAT describe what selective breeding is, give examples of selective breeding and compare it to genetic engineering. DN: If you have a cloned flock of sheep, can you breed the sheep within that cloned flock? Explain. HW: page 339 #20 Thurs: read pp 322-325, page 339 #18-19 Fri: Review Book- Respiration

2 What is Breeding? To produce offspring

3 What is meant by being Selective? The power to choose or pick out from among others. What music do you like?

4 Can you now define Selective Breeding? The process of choosing a few organisms with desirable traits to serve as the parents of the next generation.

5 Types of Selective Breeding: Hybridization/Crossbreeding: is the process of crossing __________ individuals to bring together the _____ of both organisms. + dissimilar best

6 Real Example of Hybridization: + = Horse DonkeyMule Big, Fast, Excitable Small, Slow, Calm Strong,Calm Endurance The hybrid is often stronger and hardier than its parents: Hybrid Vigor Hybrid

7 1872 - American horticulturist Luther Burbank (1849-1926) developed a special potato. Burbank, while trying to improve the Irish potato, developed a hybrid that was more__________________. He introduced the Burbank potato to Ireland to help combat the blight epidemic. Burbank’s hybrid crosses combined the ________ __________ of one plant with the ______________ _________ of another. disease resistant disease resistance food-producing capacity

8 Inbreeding: is the continued breeding of organisms with ________ characteristics. Breeders try to maintain certain ________________. similar characteristics

9 Inbreeding: Advantages: Disadvantages: desirable traits, like resistance to disease, strength of an organism are collected recessive disorders tend to increase, undesired traits are expressed.

10 Risks of Inbreeding: What is a Recessive Disorder? Tay-Sachs Disease An inherited disorder that occurs when the offspring receives a “bad” gene from each parent. 1 out of 27 Jewish people are carriers for this disease.

11 Mass Selection: is choosing the best ___________________ from a large number for further _________. plants and animals breeding

12 What are some benefits of selective breeding? 1)Produce crops resistant to ________. 2) Produce crops that are _______. 3)Produce animals that have less ____. 4) _________ fruit!!! disease bigger fat Seedless

13 Genetic Engineering vs. Selective Breeding: Genetic engineering requires the altering of genes to get desired characteristics. Selective Breeding utilizes natural reproduction to get desired characteristics.
