Question

Name the new breed of sheep developed by crossing Bikaneri ewes and Merino rams.
(a) Hissardale
(b) Karan-Swiss
(c) Karan-Fries
(d) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: They are the method where the breeding between the two individuals of various species takes place. The desirable qualities of two breeds are often combined by this process.

Complete answer:
Hissardale is a new breed of sheep that arises through crossing Bikaneri ewes and Merino rams. Hissardale was developed in Punjab. Mating between a superior male of one breed and a superior female of another breed to offer a progeny with the combined qualities of both breeds is understood as crossbreeding. During this system, a special kind of individuals are often identified, they aim for raising breeds with desirable traits.
Additional information: Some crossbred breeders begin a freestanding breed registry to enter designer crossbreds, other crossbreds could also comprise an "appendix" to an existing purebred registry. Either sort of registration could also be the primary step in recording and tracking pedigrees so as to develop a replacement breed. The purpose of making designer crossbreds is typically one or more of the subsequent reasons: 1. to breed animals with heterosis, commonly referred to as "hybrid vigor", 2. to make animals with more predictable characteristics than mixed breed or mongrel breeding, 3. to avoid certain undesirable recessive traits that cause genetic diseases that plague many purebred animals, 4. to develop an animal that mixes what is viewed because the best traits of two or more breeds, 5. because the preliminary steps toward developing a replacement animal breed.
So, the correct answer is ‘(a) Hissardale’.

Note: Crossbreeding, sometimes called "designer crossbreeding". While crossbreeding is employed to take care of the health and viability of organisms, immature crossbreeding also can develop organisms of inferior quality or dilute a purebred gene pool to the purpose of extinction of a given breed of organisms.
