Advanced Reproductive Technologies Flashcards
•Description: A technique that allows for the use of superior genetic material without the need for physical proximity to the male.
•Explanation: This method increases genetic diversity and allows for better breeding choices.
Artificial Insemination:
•Description: Involves recovering embryos from elite females and transferring them to recipient females.
•Explanation: This increases genetic diversity and offspring production.
Embryo Transfer:
:
•Description: Direct manipulation of genes to introduce beneficial traits.
•Example: The Enviro-Pig™, which reduces environmental impact.
Genetic Engineering
:
•Description: Producing genetically identical individuals.
•Explanation: While it has potential, its commercial use is limited due to high costs.
