In the poultry industry, production of hatching egg is more expensive because it requires optimum temperature fo incubation. But the major factor is the weight of the hatching egg and chick weight. Under optimal egg storage and incubation conditions, chick weight is 67-69 per cent of egg weight at setting. Therefore, the more uniform the egg weight, the more uniform the chick weight. Breeder uniformity determines uniformity in the hatching eggs produced; the more uniform the breeder flock, the more uniform the egg weights. Hence, some of the eggs produced by hatchery flocks are not acceptable for incubation and is rejected. So, the production of hatching eggs is more expensive than the production of market eggs.

The indigenous breed of poultry of India is Aseel. It is noted for its pugnacity, high stamina, majestic gait and dogged fighting qualities.

Jasmine grows from their branches cut and planted by the branch touching the soil developing roots and growing into a separate plant independent of the mother plant.

• Dispersal of seed is important as if seeds germinate near to parent plants it will increase a lot of competition for air, water, and food as well. 
• If competition increases it will lead to the death of the species and dispersal also leads to exposure to a new environment that helps in adaptation and evolution.

Seeds that travel in water is modified certain mechanism that make them light and filled with air so that they are able to travel a long distance and reach to places that are far from the parents. Its best example is the modification of mesocarp of coconut that helps it in hydrochory and able it to float a long distance.

In r selected species the populations have a large number of offsprings while in k-selected species, the populations have a small number of offsprings. However, the offspring size in k-selected species is larger than that of r-selected species.
