Animal biotechnology is the use of science and engineering to modify
animals. The goal is to make products, to improve animals and develop them for
specific agricultural use
hybridizing produces a greater genetic variety. The offspring are bred selectively to produce the greatest number of desirable traits.
Examples:
- Liger (female tiger cross with male lion)
-Grola Bear (polar bear and grizzly bear)
-Wolphin (female bottlenose dolphin and male false killer whale)

Cloning
Learning points:
Animal bio-tech include hybridization and cloning. animals that are cross-bred are one-of a kind and have the best out of both the parent's DNA. Cloning is almost "photocopying" a living thing

Scientists use reproductive cloning methods to produce multiple copies
of mammals that are almost identical copies of the mammal.
Example:
Dolly the sheep (cloned in 1966)

Do you think this use of biotechnology may be potentially dangerous? For example, what if two poisonous animals are combined and let loose?
ReplyDeleteYes, of course there are dangerous scenarios that could cause harm.
ReplyDeleteWe would have to think through carefully if the two animals are suitable for hybridizing.
Additionally, the "final product" has to be kept for a period of time to find out if its is safe enough for man to be in contact with.
