Q: What is the purpose of using marker-assisted selection in plant breeding?
Solution:
Marker-assisted selection is used to identify and select plants with desirable traits more efficiently in breeding programs.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that plant breeding is the process of creating new plant varieties with specific traits.
Step 2: Know that some traits are controlled by genes, which are segments of DNA.
Step 3: Learn that markers are specific DNA sequences that are linked to these desirable traits.
Step 4: Realize that marker-assisted selection (MAS) uses these markers to identify plants that have the desired traits.
Step 5: Understand that by using MAS, breeders can select the best plants more quickly and accurately than traditional methods.
Step 6: Conclude that the purpose of MAS is to improve the efficiency of plant breeding programs.
