Vegetative reproduction

elephant reproduction Introduction Although Robinson et al. was not able to determine the overall the long-term effects of early-life reproduction, they provided results that show the immediate effects of age-specific reproduction. The impact of reproduction on younger females is an important part of elephant survival, however, it is the impact of reproduction over time that provides understanding of the future of elephant populations. In order to show the later-life effects of reproduction, Hayward

Imagine the world where abortion is not portrayed as some “cruel” or “ungodly act”, but a way for families/females to save their future children from suffering from a disease, ailment, emotional distress, or not having the necessary means to be taken care of properly. Say that you are an expecting mother, and you get told by a doctor that your baby has a high chance of dying, will have a severe disability, or that you yourself could be at risk. You have the choice to either terminate the pregnancy

Introduction: Several hypotheses exist to explain the evolutionary role that humor plays in mating. The goal of this poster is to summarize the current literature, and highlight results that support the various hypotheses, to help determine the evolutionary role of humor in mating. According to Li et al. (1), the evolutionary purpose of humor has been to demonstrate interest to potential mates. The second hypothesis is known as the humor as an indicator of genetic quality (2). The final hypothesis

5. New Insights on Male Koalas Social Behaviour Scientists discovered that male koalas raise their voice to avoid confrontation with competitors. Source: ScienceDaily http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/07/150708151225.htm A group of scientists, including researchers from the U.S., Australia and Japan, conducted a study focused on the wild koalas mating behaviour. The researchers attached GPS sensors to special collars which allow gather multiple insights about the way koalas compete for

A Deeper Look into the Fascinating World of the Cricket 1.What does it eat? Crickets eat pretty much everything. They are omnivores and their diet depends on what is in their vicinity. Crickets eat rotting plant material, leaves, fungi, fruit, insects -- sometimes even walls and clothing. As a last resort, crickets can turn to cannibalism in order to survive due to the lack of food. 2.How does it eat? The mouth of the cricket is made up of four different parts; labrum, labium, maxillae, and

How to get ready for your beardie The first thing you will want to do when getting ready for your beardie is make sure that you have an appropriate size enclosure for your beardie, one that it will have enough room to run around or bask under the heat. I would recommend a 20-30 gallon reptile tank/enclosure to start with. The next thing on the list would be to get some terrain to go in there such as sand but I would recommend getting ground up walnut shells because they are less harmful to the lizard’s

Surrogacy is defined as a practice that can be used when a woman who cannot have a child has another woman become pregnant and deliver the child for her. 1The other woman is called a surrogate mother. In order to do this an egg from the planned mother or a donor is fertilized with sperm from the planned father or a donor. The embryo or embryos are then transported into the surrogate mother that carries and delivers the baby.1 Couples and their surrogate mothers are misusing surrogacy. Many issues

In class, we watched a film that informed us about the growing irregularities in male reproduction and the possible environmental changes that are associated with it. These changes are not only affecting humans but also several land and aquatic species. Using several experimentations and observations, scientists aim to trace the effect of estrogenic compounds in the environment on males. If we are not able to determine the cause and stop it, the process and its modifications on the male reproductive

Taking care of your Pregnant Cat We will all be faced with being adopted by a stray cat. Should that stray be female and pregnant, you will need to know a few things about pregnant cat care in order to determine your course of action with that animal. Of course, knowing what to do for a pregnant cat can help you care for your pet should you have a young female who is not spayed that gets out overnight. The first step in pregnant cat care is a trip to the veterinarian. Your Vet can tell you if

What is this world coming to, last week, the first time in history a child was being conceived with sperm from a dead man? However, this is strange because the sperm was not taken from the man while he was alive, rather it was taken from his corpse. How crazy is this? This successful new way to reproduce means that we now mostly confront the ethics of collecting sperm from men after they died (Kahn, 2015). Should this be allowed, who can decide to collect it, and when should it be used to conceive
