Breeding Field Trial
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Variation is taken account of in field trial via | Taking several replicates |
| Explain why treatments are randomised | To eliminate bias |
| State how valid conclusions can be made in field trials | Selection of appropriate treatments (e.g. same volume of water) |
| Define inbreeding | Breeding related individuals for several generations until population breeds true. |
| Define outbreeding. | Breeding two different unrelated breeds together with desirable characteristics. |
| Which type of breeding programme eliminates heterozygotes | Inbreeding |
| State one example of F1 hybrid vigour | increased growth/yield/disease resistance |
| Which type of breeding programme produces F1 hybrids | Crossbreeding |
| Explain how to breed F1 hybrids | Maintain parent breed |
| Explain why F1 hybrid is not bred together | The F2 is too genetically variable. |
| Which type of breeding programme results in accumulation of homozgous recessive deleterious alleles. | Inbreeding |
| Explain the issue with inbreeding depression | Lowers reproductive success OR ability to survive to reproduce |
| State the effect of inbreeding on genetic diversity | Lowers genetic diversity |
| Does inbreeding or crossbreeding or both produce offspring with improved characteristics. | Improved characteristics. |
| Which type of breeding programme is responsible for creation of new allele combinations increasing variation | Cross breeding |
| Define inbreeding depression | Accumulation of homozygous recessive deleterious alleles. |
