Genetic Engineering and The Human Genome基因工程与人类基因组.pptVIP

Who is the father of genetics? What is the genotype? What is the phenotype? What is homozygous? What is heterozygous? What is a dominant trait? What is a recessive trait? Genetic Engineering and The Human Genome Selective Breeding Humans use selective breeding to pass desired traits on to the next generation. Hybrids can be used to increase hardiness of plants. Inbreeding keeps desired traits within a line of organisms by breeding related organisms. Increasing Variation To increase variation, breeders often introduce mutations (the ultimate source for genetic variation) into the population.
