AI Thread Summary
Cross-breeding involves mixing different species to create new genetic combinations, while selective breeding focuses on choosing specific traits within the same species to enhance desired characteristics. Cell or suspension culture is a distinct technique within tissue culture, not a mandatory step in all tissue culture processes. It allows for the growth of cells in a controlled environment, separate from traditional tissue culture methods. Understanding these differences is crucial for effective genetic manipulation and plant or animal breeding practices. The discussion emphasizes the importance of precise definitions in genetics.

Homework Statement

-(1)Difference between cross breeding and selective breeding.(2)cell or suspension culture -is it a step of tissue culture i.e has to be performed in every type of tissue culture OR is it a different kind( type)of tissue culture?[/B]

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

(1)I think Cross-breeding is mixing different species. Selective breeding requires breeding of the same species.(2)I think cell or suspension culture is a step of tissue culture i.e has to be performed in every type of tissue culture .[/B]

cross vs selective isn't quite correct. What about breeding for specific traits vs creating new breeds?

Perhaps you look at your definition to get more detail for the answer.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
