Describe the economic benefits for selective breeding,
Breeding last few years ago was never this high tech as it is today. You were not able to put genes you want into other animals who you wanted it in. Selective breeding is the process by which humans breed other animals and plants for particular traits. Mostly, different that are selectively bred are domesticated, and the breeding is normally done by a good or pro breeder. Bred animals are known as breeds, while bred plants are known as many different others as well. Selective breeding is a modern agricultural technique used to genetically create or make better and genes you want characteristics in plants and animals. With being able to put gene in, this is usually accomplish through controlled breeding of high-yield plants and animals. The advantages of selective breeding include increased work/labor and the ability to rid future offspring of disease and disability. The disadvantages include a loss of genetic variety and possible difficulties and discomfort in the animals' lives. describe economic and social(ethics -is it right or wrong) benefits/ risks for genetic engineering.
The benefits/risks of antibiotic development and its use in crops/livestock.
Genetic engineering is often been known as a crucial part of the solution to the agricultural challenges of the 21st long long ago. One benefit for this is engineered crops have provided benefits in some areas, though these benefits tend to come with problematic tradeoffs. With different plants being put inside different plant genes allows more new plants or stronger plants.

...ch other to make involuntary movements (controlling each others bodies). Clearly we seem to be picking up the pace. There is almost an exponential increase in regards to technology as the years progress. But what impact will it have on us? How will this affect our planet? What have we learned from our past that will allow us to make proper/accurate simulations about the future.You will now write a 5 paragraph essay, by drawing upon information from our past and present (Information on Genocide - from reading, Guns, Germs, and Steel, current issues with genetic engineering, global warming, and biotechnology. Identifying key problems. Speculate about their impacts in the future, then talk about ways to solvethem at this later date. This is relatively open ended response so feel free to be creative in your response as long as it holds to the pretense above.
