Phylogeny of Animals
|
Kingdom
Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species |
|
|
Breed
|
Animals that, through selection and breeding, have come to resemble one another and pass those traits uniformly to their offspring.
|
|
|
Breed Association
|
Non-profit organization that has membership fees to register animals. (have some type of board)
ex: American Maine Anjou Association |
|
|
Species
|
A group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.
(Agriculture has broken this) |
|
|
Open Registry
|
Accepts Composites-- Brahman X Angus to make new Brangus. Both sire and dam are registered with different associations.
|
|
|
Closed Registry
|
Both Dam and Sire must be registered within the same association in order for offspring to be registered.
Angus sire, Angus dam |
|
|
Breed Standard
|
AKC, Rules on what the breed should look like for animal to be registered.
|
|
|
Population
|
Breed, herd, flock, remuda
Large numbers of critters |
|
|
How do we characterizing breeds?
|
by geographical, biological and functional/performance.
Geographical- European, Asian, African, etc. Biological- paternal, maternal, dual purpose Functional/performance: working, toy, hair/wool, etc. |
|
|
Biological Characteristics
|
A classification for animals with similar genotypes for traits of interest.
Examples include, heavy draft types (horses), prolific wool types (sheep), large dual-purpose types (cattle), and tropically adapted types (many species). |
|
|
Seedstock
|
breeding seed stock animals whose role is to be a parent or, in other words, to contribute genes to the next generation.
|
|
|
Purebred
|
wholly of one reed or line
|
|
|
Linebred
|
a group of related animals within a breed. (inbreeding of animals)
|
|
|
Crossbred
|
having parents of different breeds or breed combinations.
|
|
|
Admixed
|
Crossbreds
Melting pot in humans |
|
|
Composite
|
mix of breeds done for a purpose
|
|
|
Hybird Vigor
|
two breeds that extremely similar that are crossed and produce a better offspring than their parents
|
|
|
Mongrel
|
Heiz 57
Letting animals cross without having a clear idea where genetic were going. |
|
|
Wildtype
|
Original organism
|
|
|
Gene
|
the basic physical unit of heredity consisting of a DNA sequence at a specific location on a chromosome
|
|
|
DNA
|
Deoxyribonucleic acid, the molecule that forms the genetic code.
|
|
|
Chromosome
|
One of a number of long strands of DNA and associated proteins present in the nucleus of every cell.
|
|
|
Genome
|
all the nuclear DNA carried by that organism.
|
|
|
Karyotype
|
microscopic view of all chromosomes in a cell.
|
|
|
Haploid
|
n
Sperm cells or oocyte |
|
|
Diploid
|
2n
|
|
|
Allele
|
Alternative form of a gene.
|
|
|
Chromatid
|
one of the longitudinal sub units of a replicated chromosome; it is joined to its sister chromatid at the centromere.
|
|
|
Chromosome is made up of?
|
Telomere, Centromere, and acrocentric ( don't have centromere)
|
|
|
gene map
|
where DNA that codes and where the non coding is
|
|
|
DNA was first reported by
|
Watson and Crick 1953
-Proposed molecular model of DNA based on discussions/Unpublished works |
|
|
R. Franklin and M. Wilkins discovered?
|
X-Ray diffraction
|
|
|
L. Pauling discovered?
|
alpha Helix protein structure.
|
|
|
Purines
|
Sources: Meat/meat products, beer, gravy
Too much causes: - Gout, due to accumulation of Uric acid. -consumption of dairy products decreases risk (Adenine and Guanine) |
|
|
Pyrimidines
|
-Aromatic heterocyclic organic compound
- single ring structure - found in barbiturates ( Thymine, Cytosine, Uracil) |
|
|
Watson and Cricks base pairing rules were?
|
-Equal amounts of A and T and equal amounts of C and G
- Purines (A and G) always bond with pyrimidines ( T and C) |
