Current Genetic Technologies
Selective Breeding
Combination of male/female desirable characteristic (one)
Offspring with desired trait
Used futher for selective breeding
Advantages
Hybrid Vigour
Disadvantages
Undesirable traits inherited
In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF)
egg is fertilised by sperm externally
Result in zygote
cultured until early developmental stage
Transferred to biological mother
Artificially created environment
Decrease of genetic diversity - infertility passed on
Artificial Insemination
Collected sperm from male
Artificially inserted into selected females
Frozen into semen straws
Sterile artificial insemination gun
Inserted into cervix
Artificial Pollination
Used in ancient times
Mendel with pea plants
New breeds of plants
Pollen of flower onto stigma
Self (Self-pollination)
Different (cross-pollination)
Produce specific favourable characteristic
