Throughout the years, many crops and domestic animals have been selectively bred for desirable traits. for example, domestic dogs have been bred for characteristics such as temperament, color, and size. how can selective breeding change the genetic makeup of such species?

The selective breeding helps to maintain pure breed and hence exclude the hybrids.

Selective breeding is a very commonly practiced procedure in plant management and animal husbandry. This selective breeding helps to achieve and maintain the homozygous traits of selective characters. For example, if two dogs with white colour are breed, then their progenies will be white too. Thus the selective character i.e fur color will be maintained.

In crops, if the plants with desired fruit characteristics are bred with each other then superior quality of fruits are achieved and maintained over generations. This is very essential economically too.

yes you are doing it right great gob

explanation:

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
