1. What is the difference between selective breeding and genetic modification? Explain the science behind both of these practices. Yes, there is a big difference, choosing the best animal to mate with another good animal. Genetic modification is passing a gene, giving it to another animal so that they have the gene also.
2. What are the beneficial applications of selective breeding??Getting the best of the best of whatever it produces.
3. What are the beneficial applications of GMO's? Enchanced taste and quality.
4.What are the concerns with selective breedeing? They look buff, but they can be very unsafe and unknown effects.
5. What are the concerns with GMO's? Its unnatural and it can change a lot of things to the animal that it happened to.
6.What do you think should be more of a puplic concern? I think that GMO is worse because it changes the whole animal like from glowing in the dark.
7. what do you think Gregor Mendel would think of our current applicatins of his discoveries in the 1800's? He would say that we are crazy from what we are doing now and how it was all natural back then. AZB
