Marine life flourishes in our plant’s oceans‚ a common factor these bodies of water share are sea turtles. I am going to talk about how these animals have a huge impact in multiple ecosystems‚ which includes their diets‚ breeding habits‚ and life cycle. Also‚ I will be discussing their history and evolution that directly impacts their anatomy‚ as well as‚ migration patterns‚ which leads into their extensive travels with a history that stretches back to prehistoric times. Finally‚ I will be going

The Skeletal System is the framework of the body‚ consisting of 206 bones as well as a network of tendons that is made of tough band of fibrous collagen tissue connecting a muscle to bone‚ ligaments connecting bones to joint and cartilage that allows some flexibility of movement. The skeletal system serves 4 functions: (1) Giving the body its shape (2) Protecting the vital internal organs (3) Allowing for movement (4) Storing minerals and producing blood cells The skeletal system has 6 basic components:

Eugenics is it a Positive or Negative? Eugenics is a term coined in 1883‚ influenced by a “survival of the fittest” mindset that Social Darwinism gave and brought into the mainstream medicine of the 1900’s. Keep in mind “eugenics” is actually the scientific term for the adjustment of genes or genetic modification. Eugenics when first presented is a rather sensitive topic‚ as this practice though heavily criticized‚ mainly due to the Nazis using it to support their “final solution.” It has also come

The coral reef structure also buffers shorelines against waves‚ storms‚ and floods‚ helping to prevent loss of life‚ property damage‚ and erosion. Several million people live in U.S. coastal areas adjacent to or near coral reefs‚ and the well-being of their communities and economies is directly dependent on the health of nearby coral reefs. Reefs also protect the highly productive mangrove fisheries and wetlands along the coast‚ as well as ports and harbors and the economies they support. Globally

Ashley Usher Maher Final Draft Dec 10‚ 2012 THE LIFE OF AN OLIVE RIDLEY Natural History: One of the smallest known sea turtles is the olive ridley turtle‚ Lepidochelys olivacea. The olive ridley was named for the olive color of its heart-shaped shell‚ the carapace (U.S. Fisheries and Wildlife Service‚ 2012). As hatchlings emerge from their shell they are mostly black with greenish hues on their sides and about 4 cm in length. As they become adults‚ they develop their full olive green color

contains a gene regulatory system that confers ampicillin resistance. A plasmid is a genetic structure in a cell that can replicate independently of chromosomes. In this lab‚ the Green Fluorescent Protein‚ which is typically found in the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea Victoria‚ was cloned‚ purified‚ and moved from one organism to another with the use of pGlo plasmids. It was hypothesized that if bacteria that were transformed with +pGlo plasmids are given the gene for GFP‚ then transformed cell colonies

MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY: A DEVELOPMENT FOR THE FUTURE Biotechnology ’s first impacts occurred on a terrestrial level‚ but "there ’s an end to the diversity of terrestrial life. And if you go back and ask a fundamental question: Where on earth does the biodiversity reside‚ you realize it is the ocean (William Fenical‚ Scripps Institution)." Marine biotechnology is defined as "the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by marine biological agents to provide
