Answer:

Transgenic plants are plants that have been genetically engineered, a breeding approach that uses recombinant DNA techniques to create plants with new characteristics. They are identified as a class of genetically modified organism (GMO).

Selective breeding involves choosing parents with particular characteristics to breed together and produce offspring with more desirable characteristics.

Explanation:

Using the definitions giving, so the difference would be that in transgenic plants they are created using DNA techniques such as electroporation, wherehas in selective breeding the plant is grown from naturally grown parent plants that are chosen through selection based on their superior character traits.

Hope this helps!!

alexira [117]

Early cleavage divisions in most embryos are also rapid. One reason for this is that cleaving cells have a modified cell cycle, in which the two gap phases, G1 and G2 are completely omitted, and the cells cycle rapidly between M and S phases. In addition, because the major cytoskeletal systems of the cells are largely devoted to mitosis (microtubules) and cytokinesis (microfilaments) during rapid cleavage division, there is typically an antagonism between periods of rapid cell division and cell movement. Thus as the embryo approaches gastrulation, there is a tremendous slowing in the rate of division (note the slope of the curve at the right).

Why is global warming an issue to organisms or speices?
STatiana [176]
Global warming is an issue to organisms or species because not all animals can adapt so certain living conditions. high human population growth rate drive further extinctions of plants and animals because humans need space to live so we cut down their habitats and they die. not all animals can adapt to certain living conditions.
