Cetartiodactyla

Unlike others who may be writing on the medical aspects and applications of mammalian genetics, such as specific types of cancer genetics or stem cell differentiation, my topic will discuss perhaps the not as applicable, but by no means less interesting radiation, biodiversity, and phylogenetic relationships among cetaceans. This topic is of major interest to me because of my fascination with the origin and evolution of life on earth. When I was younger I had an ambition to become a paleontologist

a gazelle's body; it is a strange, semi-familiar creature, a caricature of the savanna, a creature that sprang out of Dr. Seuss's outlandish books. But it isn’t fiction…it’s a gerenuk. The gerenuk's full name is Animalia Chordata Mammalia Cetartiodactyla Bovidae Litocranius Walleri, but in the scientific world it’s usually referred to as Litocranius walleri. Some people call it the “giraffe-necked gazelle,” due to its long neck; the “Waller’s Gazelle,” after the European who first classified

Monodont family with one other species, Monodon monoceros, otherwise known as the narwhal. They are in the sub-order Odontoceti, which contains 74 species, and the order Cetacea, which contains 89. This in turn is part of the mammalian clade Cetartiodactyla. 3) Beluga whales are born dark gray, but within 8 years their coloration changes to a distinctive white. The species sexually dimorphic, whith males roughly 25% larger than females. Males weigh between 1,100 and 1,600 kg and are 3.5-5.5 m in

make you think it is adorable. This critically endangered animal is also known as the Cochito, Gulf Porpoise or Gulf of California Porpoise. The scientific name for the vaquita is Phocoena sinus and its taxonomy is Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Cetartiodactyla, Phocoenidae. Due to the fact that there are only about 150 vaquitas in the wild now, actions must be made soon to ensure that this species does not die out. This endangered vaquita, “little cow” in spanish, is close to extinction. Because

The Australian snubfin dolphin, scientifically known as Orcaella heinsohni, found off the northern coast of Australia. The snubfin dolphin are characterized by their broad rounded head that is extremely mobile and usually has a visible neck crease (Beasley et al. 2005). The mouth line is straight and there is no signs of a beak. Their teeth are peg-like and there are less than 20 on each side of the jaws (Martin 1990). It is the reverse situation to most other dolphins, the u-shaped blowhole of Orcaella

ID#:04635   Introduction: - The mitochondria is a double membrane organelle that is found in all eukaryotic organisms. There is some evidence that proves some eukaryotes lack mitochondria, but there is no true evidence about complete lack of mitochondria in the organisms

Executive Summary Intensive pig farming is an agricultural industry that operates by raising live pigs for slaughtering which will then be turned into pork for human consumption. Piggeries, as the firm is called, serve as a major food source in the Philippines, with the highest grossing per capita consumption among red meats. The industry is fairly attractive to investors as its high capital requirement and risky nature is effectively balanced out by the steady demand of a readily available market
