Identification should include the roles played by computers, software, and other electronic devices in animal and plant breeding programs, including
- record-keeping systems
- marketing
- research
- identification and selection of desired traits
- annotated crop genomes
- genome-based breeding
- site-specific gene integration
- scoring of genetic traits.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What role do computers play in genetic selection of animals and plants?
- What genomic technologies are used in breeding programs?
- How are genetic traits scored when used in computer modeling?
- How do computer records and modeling contribute to improved genetics?
