Unit 3 - KA2 - Plant and Animal Breeding Flashcards
Non-laboratory test on the performance of a crop in various environmental conditions
Field Trials
Crop that contains a gene from other species
Genetically Modified Crops
Ensure fair comparisons during field trials
Selection of Treatments
Take account of the variability within the sample during field trials
Replication
Eliminates bias when measuring treatment effects during field trials
Randomisation
Breeding of organisms of different genotypes
Outbreeding
Crossing organisms of the same or similar genotype
Inbreeding
Accumulation of homozygous recessive alleles that lower biological fitness
Inbreeding Depression
Passing pollen within the flowers of a single individual
Self-pollination
Breeding organisms of different genotype together
Crossbreeding
Procedure to produce the nucleotide sequence of an entire genome
Genomic sequencing
Cross between an F1 hybrid organism with a parental type to maintain characteristics of a new breed
Back cross
