1. How do We Make Our World “better?” Biology Standard 5c and d Modifying our Living World with DNA!

2. AKA Mating By choosing the “best” individuals of a species and breeding them, you can get the “best” offspring. Breeding

3. Allowing those orgs w/ desired characteristics (DNA) to produce next gen. Based on phenotype (what animal looks like) Genotype (DNA) codes for phenotype. Selective Breeding

4. Selective Breeding: Super Cow!

6. Selective Breeding Progression of Corn over time

7. Hybridization Crossing dissimilar individs to bring together best of both orgs. Can make orgs disease resistant; sterile!

8. Hybridization Liger

10. Hybridization: Zorse

11. Hybridization: Zedonk

12. Hybridization: Prizzly Bear

13. Hybridization: Tomacco

14. Hybridization: Wolf/Dog

15. Inbreedin g Continued breeding of individs with similar characteristics. Risky! Genetic defects! Too many recessive alleles (not dominant traits) Hemophilia: The Royal Disease: Queen Victoria X linked Hemophilia

16. Royal Pedigree

18. No Sex with Your Siblings! Inbreeding is dangerous b/c when 2 individs mate that are genetically similar, recessive disorders are kept inside the family and are passed to offspring.
