Comparison should include
- traditional breeding methods
- production efficiency
- efficacy of techniques
- actual breeding and seasonal time
- advantages of genetic engineering
- role of transgenic organisms
- genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Process/Skill Questions:
- How is a transgenic organism created? Why are they created?
- What are the limitations and concerns in plant and animal reproduction?
- What methods can be used to improve plant performance?
- How can alteration of the genetic characteristics of a plant improve plant nutrient value?
- How can plant improvement affect quality of life for humans and animals?
