Selective breeding is the traditional method for improving crops and livestock, such as increasing disease resistance or milk yield.

Genetic engineering is a faster way, which transplants genes for a desired characteristic into an organism. However, genetic engineering offers many potential benefits but carries the risk of unexpected harmful effects.

Selective breeding uses natural biological means to alter genetics--example is using a pollen from one strain to fertilize another strain and so "cross" the gene pools. 

<span>Genetic engineering artificially goes into the chromosomes to edit them--an unnatural process. Example--a cold water fish gene is put into a crop so that it won't freeze in the winter. This would not naturally occur.</span>

Review the water cycle diagram below. What would be the effect on the mountains if the ocean were not nearby?
musickatia [10]
<span>D. There would be much less precipitation and evaporation.

Much of the precipitation comes from the evaporation of water from the ocean and posterior condensations into clouds that go over the mountains. If the mountains were to be far from the ocean, there would be much less precipitation and, therefore, evaporation also. </span>

Hypothesize one way that a diploid organism could have offspring that are 3n or 4n
gladu [14]
Diploid refers to a cell that has two copies of each chromosome. One way that a diploid organism could have an offspring that are 3n (triploid) or 4n is when the chromosomes don't separate during meiosis.

Triploid refers to some cell that have 3 copies of each chromosomes for a total of 69 chromosomes.
