  1. 13-1 Notes • Selective Breeding • Popcornwas one of the first organisms humans improved for our own benefit. • Corn as we know it was first grown as a crop at least 6000 years ago by Native Americans living in what is now Mexico.

  2. How we’ve used Selection • Dogs- • Tiny Chihuahuas and Huge Great Danes • Labrador retrievers with short coats and poodles with curly hair. • Humans are always looking to make animals that are better hunters, better retrievers or more capable of producing a quality product.

  3. Selective Breeding- letting only those animals with desired characteristics produce the next generation. • The two most common methods of selective breeding are hybridization and inbreeding.

  4. Hybridization • Crossing organisms that have different traits to bring together the best of both organisms. • Offspring made by such crosses are called hybrids. • Often hardier than parents. • Results are new organisms that have traits farmers need to make more food.

  5. How it all Started • Luther Burbank may have been the greatest selective breeder of all time. • Developed more than 800 kinds of plants • Burbank used Hybridization. • Many of Burbank’s hybrid crosses mixed the disease resistance of one plant with the food-making ability of another.

  6. Inbreeding • Continuedbreeding of individuals with similar characteristics. • Many breeds of dogs • Inbreeding helps keep the characteristics that make each breed unique and helps make sure that those characteristics are preserved. • Inbred organisms are genetically very similar and can increase the probability that organisms may inherit genetic disorders. • Example- inherited hip problems are common to many breeds of dogs.
