Answer:

Artificial selection is when humans select organisms, because of their favorable genes and breed them to produce a genetically favorable organism. Artificial selection has aided in the yield and quality increase of certain plants/animals, mostly for consumption. As well as introducing a variety of plants. Artificial selection in laboratories have also helped make significant strides in diseases/therapeutic research.

Artificial selection has decreases genetic diversity among plants and animals, thus amplifying certain weaknesses and illnesses, and this could be detrimental to the organism and the environment.

Genetic information is beneficial in designing clinical trials for preventative therapies. Scientists can use genetic information to predict the risk of certain genetic diseases and help design effective therapies.

Sharing genetic information can put individuals at risk, because they can be identified, this could lead to discrimination by society and/or research bias by the researchers.

Artificial selection or selective breeding is a process of selecting the “advantageous” characteristics from the plants or animals by humans and using them for breeding. There are many advantages of artificial selection:

• More agricultural products, gaining higher profit (for example more milk from cow, or more fruit)

• Elimination of diseases by identifying the plants/animals with disease

• Production of superior breed.

On the other hand, negative effects might also occur, so the disadvantages of artificial selection are:

• Genetic mutations  

• Loss of genes

• Diseases

All of these negative impacts are connected and often arise from the breeding of desirable organisms.

Why did the f1 offspring of mendel's classic pea plant crosses always look like one of the two parental varieties?
stiv31 [10]
The F1 offspring of Mendel's classic pea plant crosses always looked like one of the two parental varieties because he crossed a homozygous dominant plant with a homozygous recessive plant so each plant received one recessive allele and one dominant allele. All of the plants looked like one plant because the dominant allele overshadowed the recessive allele
