Through the comparisons of European bison‚ American bison‚ and cattle‚ it became apparent that few polymorphic sites were present outside of the two highly variable regions (D-loop 15815-16306 bp‚ and D-loop positions 106-350). Strategies of conservation are being developed in the hopes of saving the bison population. An example of this would be restocking the population‚ but it would only be successful if restocked with the rare haplotypes of females versus one of the identified three. If a large

Bioethics is the study of typically controversial ethics brought about by advances in biology and medicine. It is also moral discernment as it relates to medical policy‚ practice‚ and research. Bioethicists are concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences‚ biotechnology‚ medicine‚ politics‚ law‚ and philosophy. It also includes the study of the more commonplace questions of values which arise in primary care and other branches of medicine. History

Saving wildlife DECCAN HERALD‚ 28-12-2003 Reflecting on the conservation measures adopted during the past year‚ SANJAY GUBBI & PRAVEEN BHARGAV point out that through political will and commitment most of the threatened wildlife and their habitats can still be saved We were only 300 million Indians when the British left their most prized imperial possession. In just over half a century we have more than tripled our population and lost more than 50 lakh hectares of our natural forests. With

Methods of Conservation The challenge of conservation is to understand the complex connections among natural resources and balance resource use with protection to ensure an adequate supply for future generations. In order to accomplish this goal‚ a variety of conservation methods are used. These include reducing consumption of resources; protecting them from contamination or pollution;

Developmental Biology Final Exam Study Guide 12/3/11 Part I Chapter 1 -Basic Problems of developmental Biology: • Maintenance of complete genome while cells differentiate -Main mechanisms of differential gene expression-polarity and cytoplasmic differences; polarity: • Gene expression leads to a difference in cells • Every cell in body has the same genome • Gene regulation occurs: o Polarity and cell division ▪ Uneven egg contents ▪ Environmental factors

and synthetic biology are two techniques that go hand in hand but differ ever so slightly. It is this slight divergence that makes a world of a difference. Gene editing is defined as the process of editing an organism’s DNA by altering‚ removing or adding nucleotides to the genome. Whereas synthetic biology is defined as a combination of molecular biology and systems biology with engineering principles to design biological systems and bio-factories‚ or the use of molecular biology tools and techniques

Chapter 2. Forest and Terrestrial Biodiversity of Mauritius 2.1 Overview of Biodiversity Mauritius has an area of 1‚865 km2‚ of which 30% is considered forested. The area of good quality native forest‚ (i.e. that with more than 50% native plant cover‚ Page & d’Argent 1997)‚ is estimated to cover less than 2% of the island (NEAP 1999‚ MWF unpublished‚ Fig.2.1). The rest consists of plantation forestry‚ deer-ranches or highly degraded vegetation invaded by alien plant and animal species. As a result
