English 102 18 April 2012 Commercial Dog-Breeding Facilities Pet shops give many people the impression of happy‚ eager‚ and healthy puppies that are in desperate need of a home and family. Sometimes people feel bad for the animals stuck in the small cages and decide they’re going to save or rescue them. People who buy these animals don’t realize that they’re supporting the commercial dog-breeding industry. Commercial dog-breeding facilities treat animals as a product; they are concerned with quantity

Horse Breeding By: Halle Lucas “Breaking babies” would sound strange to the average person‚ but not to someone in the horse breeding business. Working on a horse farm can be pretty tough but if you really have a passion for what you do you will go far. The occupation of horse breeding is the reproduction of domesticated horses‚ used to obtain specific characteristics of the breed desired‚ and is more recently known for multiple strategies in safety with technology while breeding. There

The Ethics behind selective breeding Selective breeding‚ or artificial selection‚ is a process whereby evolution is overridden so that only organisms with required traits are selected by humans to reproduce over many generations; often resulting in highly productive crops or farm animals‚ or desirable pet breeds (see figure 1). As evolution‚ or natural selection‚ most commonly only allows the fittest‚ strongest and healthiest to survive‚ by-passing this progression can risk adverse organism development

Drosophila melanogaster - Sex linkage and inheritance of genes through cross breeding Abstract This experiment looks at the relationship between genes‚ generations of a population and if genes are carried from one generation to another. By studying Drosophila melanogaster‚ starting with a parent group we crossed a variety of flies and observe the characteristics of the F1 generation. We then concluded that sex-linked genes and autosomal genes could indeed be traced through from the parent generation

for over 10.000 years. The first experiences were with cultivation of grains and domestication of animals. The facilities that these methods bring in order to keep having the necessary stuff for our survival make the humans improve their techniques. Now‚ with the advances of science‚ we have some sophisticated ways to make easier get the most wanted kinds of livestock and plants. Selective breeding and transgenesis are examples of popular (and successful) processes involving genetic manipulation

Limitations such as establishing self-sufficient captive populations‚ poor success in reintroductions‚ high costs‚ domestications‚ preemption of other recover techniques‚ disease outbreaks and maintaining administrative

lighting conditions‚ and the presence of other chameleons. (Friel) Chameleons are shy animals‚ easily stressed and prefer not to be handled. They make terrific pets for a person experienced in handling various lizards and not wishing to play with them‚ consequently‚ the chameleon would not make a good pet for young children or a person beginning to adopt lizards as pets. The requirements for their care and breeding is very specific since they are time consuming to maintain. The selection of a chameleon

Selective breeding in dogs. Also known as artificial selection‚ is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to develop particular traits on the animals such as how they look or to produce certain exaggerated traits. There are many different types of traits that make reason for selective breeding‚ mainly physical‚ and only some for good emotional and disease blocking purposes. In a lot of ways‚ this is similar to inbreeding in humans. Selective Breeding a bad thing because

What is the breeding program at SeaWorld? The breeding program is where scientists breed orcas through natural ways or artificial insemination. Artificial insemination is where female orcas are impregnated without having to come in contact with a male orca. When scientists do this‚ they take the male orca’s reproductive cells and inject it inside the female orca‚ so her eggs will be fertilized. Occasionally‚ the scientists have to breed them this way because orcas will sometimes refuse to mate in
