Answer:

The high yielding property of a plant species would be most useful for meeting the scientists’ goal.

Explanation:

In selective breeding, we develop a new variety by crossing a wild specie with the domestic growing variety in order to achieve the characteristic which is present only in wild specie. So with the help of selective breeding, this characteristics is transferred to the offspring. The main goal of scientist is to produce such variety which produces maximum yield and also good quality seeds.

Answer: the gene variants that are passed from one generation to the next generation. Which might be the ability to produce good yeild, fatter crop size or taller crops etc.

Explanation:

Selective breeding involves choosing parents with particular or unique characteristics to breed together and produce offspring with much more desirable characteristics. It aims at adapting organism’s characteristics in a way that is desirable to the humans that breed them.

Selective breeding often involves breeding individuals that are closely related, which is known as inbreeding.

For example, if we breed parents that are y'all together and exclude the shorter parents, the offspring should inherit “tall” gene variants that make them tall.

Some of the offsprings produced may even be taller than both of their parents, because they may inherit a combination of different “tall” gene variants from each parent which makes the offspring taller. With repeated selective breeding over multiple generations this population will get taller and taller as time goes on.

Why do you think there is a basic difference between the kinds of fertilization most common in aquatic and terrestrial animals?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The basic difference between the kind of fertilization most common in aquatic and terrestrial animal is that terrestrial animal lay their sperm into the environment to fertilize eggs, while aquatic animals lay their eggs in the water bodies in order to carry out the process of fertilization, because the sperm of aquatic animals need water as a medium in order to travel and meet the egg present in the water bodies so that fertilization can occur.
