    This tree shows the similarities found between all of the species that were listed on the ortholog search. This helps in narrowing down what the exact function of the gene is. It was determined that the species, Danio rerio, Xenopus tropicalis, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, and Homo sapiens all shared similar functions for this gene. Thus the assumption was made that L. cuprina had to have a similar if not exactly the same as the closest species to it. Reading the tree, that species would have to be Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, and Homo sapiens.…

    Panthera uncia is known more by its common name of the snow leopard, they are a placental mammal. It is characterized by their distinct fur. Panthera uncia is found in the harsh and hazardous mountainous areas in Asia. The species is rated as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List. They are currently on a downward population trend. The trend can be traced back to the systematic hunting of the species for fur and retaliation for preying on farm animals. It is thought they there less than 7000 left in the wild (Jackson et al 2008).…

    Manatees

    • 429 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Manatee, common name for each of three species of a large water mammal, popularly called a sea cow because it grazes on marine grasses and other water plants. The Amazonian manatee ranges throughout the Amazon River basin in South America; the West African manatee occurs in rivers and coastal waters of tropical West Africa; and the West Indian, or Caribbean, manatee is found in rivers and coastal waters from the southeastern United States and the Gulf of Mexico to the Caribbean Sea and northeastern Brazil. An adult manatee has a rounded body, usually colored light to dark gray or black, that tapers to a horizontally flattened, rounded tail. It is 2.5 to 4.5 m (8 to 14 ft) long, depending on the species, and weighs 200 to 600 kg (440 to 1300 lb). The small head includes a straight snout and a cleft upper lip with bristly hairs. Its nostrils, set on the upper surface of the snout, are closed tightly by valves when the animal is under water. The paddlelike forelimbs are set close to the head; no external hind limbs exist. Massive, heavy bones and long, narrow lungs, which extend through the entire body cavity, give the manatee evenly distributed buoyancy. A manatee cow gives birth about a year after mating; usually a single, pink calf is born.Manatees live in small family groups, although they occasionally travel in herds of 15 to 20. They feed in both freshwater and salt water, grazing for six to eight hours a day. An adult consumes an amount equal to between 5 and 10 percent of its body weight daily. Manatees have a slower metabolism than other mammals of similar size, which sharply reduces their energy requirements. This is especially important for Amazonian manatees when waters recede after floods, confining some for extended periods in shallow waters away from plants on river banks.…

    Protists are a very large, diverse group of organisms, including the plant-like protists (algae), fungi-like protists, and the animal-like protists (protozoans). They are all eukaryotic, and most are unicellular. Traditional taxonomy of protists (Kingdom Protista) did not accurately represent evolutionary relationships, so the classification of this group is unsettled. Modern taxonomy has rearranged the group formerly known as Kingdom Protista, separating the different types of organisms into their own candidate Kingdoms.…

    Paleontology, the study of prehistoric creatures. This topic has always been of great interest and importance to me. I have always loved going to natural history museums and seeing all the creatures there, perfectly preserved for us to study. Dinosaurs are one of my high areas of interest, but I also very much enjoy prehistoric mammals, especially around the ice ages, and marine animals. The subject gives us such an insight on how the world was before us, I do not see how anyone could not enjoy it.…
