    such as soft under hair in sheep, is known as selective breeding.  
    Ans 4.

    Certain breeds of sheep have a thick coat of hair on their body which yields good quality 
    wool in large quantities. Such sheep are selectively bred by choosing at least one patent 
    sheep of good breed. Therefore, the breeding of sheep is done to obtain such breeds of 
    sheep which yield good quality wool in large quantities.  
    Ans 8. 
    Steps involved in obtaining wool from sheep are :

    body is called shearing.  
    ii. Scouring : 
    The sheared skin with hair of the sheep is throughly washed in tanks to remove grease, 
    dust and dirt. This is called scouring.  
    iii. Sorting :

    The sorter's in wool industry have risk of getting infected by a bacterium anthrax, which 
    causes a fatal blood disease called sorter's disease. Such risks faced by workers are 
    called occupational hazards.  
    Ans14. 
    The rearing of silkworms for obtaining silk is called sericulture.
