The Texel sheep is a breed of sheep that has gone through selective breeding for both food and wool production. The wool is of m

edium thickness without black fibers and commonly used in crafts. The sheep are bred for their large muscle size. The increase in muscle size has led to increased size in offspring.
How has this biotechnology harmed the Texel sheep?

Answer:

loss of genetic diversity  

Explanation:

Artificial selection, also known as selective breeding, refers to the identification by humans of desirable phenotypic features (traits) in plants and animals and the subsequent breeding procedures to enhance and perpetuate these traits in offspring. As a consequence of artificial selection, future generations of selectively bred animals/plants will share favorable gene variants (alleles), thereby genetic diversity will decrease in the population. This reduction in the gene pool will affect genetic progress and consequently also breeding programs in the future.

How do latitude and altitude affect which plants grow in an area?
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>They are both important. Latitude, the lines that parallel the equator are very important in determining plant growth rates and which plants can even exist because latitude is strongly related to average temperature. Altitude acts like latitude only over a shorter scale, so an increase in altitude of 1,000 ft may act like a latitude change of 3-4 degrees pole-ward. Longitude, that series of lines, perpendicular to the equator is also important, and is more related to water supply in the form of precipitation, so it would surely influence the kind of plants present - like desert plants versus rain forest types. Environments that are warm and with more rainfall generally will support more plant growth than those that are cold with little rainfall.</span>
