Title: Explain how genetic principles are used in animal and plant breeding.
Course: Biological Applications in Agriculture (18308-I) > Section: Understanding Basic Genetics

Explanation should include

- dominant and recessive genes
- application of genetic principles in breeding practices, including selective breeding
- use of naturally occurring genetic variation to pass desired traits to the next generation of organisms.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is selective breeding?
- How has the history of selective breeding changed food production in agriculture?
- What roles do hybridization and inbreeding play in selective breeding?
