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.

A rooster with gray feathers is mated with a hen of the same phenotype. Among their offspring, 15 chicks are gray, 6 are black,
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Alleles for feather colour exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance.

50% gray offspring + 50% black offspring

Explanation:

<em>It means that the alleles for feather colour in the hen exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance over one another.</em>

Assuming the allele for white colour is B, white colour will be b while the heterozygote Bb gives the gray phenotype.

Gray rooster + gray hen = 15 gray chicks, 6 black chicks and 8 white chicks.

15:6:8 is roughly 2:1:1 which is phenotypic ratio obtainable from crossing two heterozygous individuals as pointed out by Mendel.

Bb   x   Bb = 1BB, 2Bb, and 1bb

Crossing the gray rooster (Bb) with a black hen (bb):

Bb   x   bb = Bb, Bb, bb, and bb

          = 2Bb (gray):2bb (black)

50% of the offspring will be gray while the remaining 50% will be black.

Atomic number shows the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
Atomic weight shows the is an another term for atomic mass, which means <span>It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.</span>

What is a process by which organisms with characteristic suited to the environment will survive and reproduce
BartSMP [9]

According to Charles Darwin's theory of Evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.
