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>

Answer:

The foxes would have brown fur all year long.

Explanation:

The foxes would have brown fur all year because the change in the environment will not occur. If the change not occur in the climatic conditions, then the foxes did not change the colour of the fur so the brown colour remains for all year long. The colour of fur changes when the change in climate occurs so if there is no change in the climate so change occur in fur colour of foxes.

suppose a cell wishes to make a protein that has 100 amino acid. How many water molecules will be created in the making of this
slega [8]
The answer is 99.

Amino acids <span>contain a carboxyl group (carbon-containing) and an amino group (nitrogen containing). Proteins are made by forming peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino group of amino acids.
</span>If a protein is made of 100 amino acids, that means there are 99 peptide bonds (because the last, 100th amino acid will not bind the next (101st) amino acid). For each peptide bond that is created, one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms are taken. Therefore, one water molecule is created for each peptide bond. If there are 99 peptide bonds, 99 water molecules are created.

Why is scientific inquiry a process with many paths not a rigid sequence of steps?
Anna71 [15]
Scientific inquiry process discusses to the varied means in which scientists study the natural world and suggest clarifications founded on the evidence derived from their work.  Since there are many different kinds of problems that science can address, and the "scientific method" that's taught in class isn't appropriate for every type of investigation because different questions may require different approaches to finding answers. That’s why scientists custom-build the procedures (like a process with many parts) they will use depending on the unique challenges of the problem they are trying to solve.
