concern for the animals. Leakey’s once said “new we must redefine tool‚ redefine man‚ or consider chimpanzees as humans”. We now see that we are not alone with being advanced that there are other non-human primates that also are advancing. People believe that we are at the top of all animals and we are‚ for now‚ but other primates are not so far behind.

. LA zoo is fantastic and there are plenty of animals to observe. The employees were friendly and provided educational facts to the public. This is the second time that I visit LA Zoo because I want to observe the activities and behavior of some selected primates. I spent most of the time observing all the animals and learning about them and their native habitats. LA Zoo is laid out by continental area‚ so the primate exhibits are scattered throughout the zoo. I began with the New World monkey located

Based on the amino acid sequence data for the Cytochome-C protein‚ chimpanzees and humans share an identical coding sequence. What other species identified on the chart has a coding sequence that is most closely related to the humans and chimpanzees and most distantly related? Explain your answer. Humans are most related to Rhesus monkey‚Horses and donkeys. The are distantly

Animal Testing Have you ever wondered how people figured out if medicine works? Animal testing‚ or animal experimentation‚ has been going on for a long time. It is the process of using animals with similar DNA‚ such as chimpanzees‚ to test new cosmetic and medical products to try and figure out how they will work on humans. It is a very controversial subject . Some people argue animal testing provides valuable information for people and new products; Animal testing needs to be stopped because it

The Hominidae include orangutans‚ gorillas‚ chimpanzees‚ bonobos and humans.[1][2] Alternatively‚ the family are collectively described as the great apes.[3][4][5][6] There are two extant species in the orangutan genus (Pongo)‚ two species in the gorilla genus‚ and a single extant species Homo sapiens in the human genus (Homo). Chimpanzees and bonobos are closely related to each other and they represent the two species in the genus Pan. Members

Animal Testing Gandhi remarks‚ “The greatness of a nation and it’s moral progress can be judged by the way it’s animals are treated.” Unfortunate animals everyday are getting poked and prodded in labs for human benefits. Animals are used to test many products‚ and the results aren’t always reliable. So how should people trust these experiments and the results they give?

Background Information: Scientists have found that almost all living organisms have a gene that codes for a protein called Cytochrome C. This protein is important in releasing energy from food. Scientists study similarities such as the gene that codes for Cytochrome C in hopes to learn more about the universal genetic code and the relationship between living organisms on Earth. Procedure: The charts below lists a portion of the amino acids found in the Cytochrome C protein of several different organisms
