Imagine you are summarizing “The Alaskan Sled Dog: A Genetic Breed Apart” as part of a research project on the topic. Determine which details should be included in a summary of the text and which details should be omitted from the summary. Sled dogs do not necessarily
look similar because appearance
is not a direct function of
performance.
Huson's research proves that
sled dogs are unique by virtue
of their performance abilities.
The research will allow isolation
of the genes that mark the
attributes of sled dogs and may
benefit human research.
Breeds such as the Alaskan
Malamute and the Siberian
Husky have contributed genes
to the sled dog makeup.
Traits such as speed, endurance,
and work ethic have been
selectively bred into sled dogs
from various breeds.
