Tasmanian Devil

Genetic Engineering Imagine a world with no genetic diseases or illnesses, where both humans and animals are born healthy without the possibility of inheriting or contracting a deadly disease. With genetic engineering, this world could become reality. Genetic engineering is the process of modifying the characteristics of an organism by altering its genetic material. Genetic engineering is a touchy subject. Many questions arise when the topic of genetic engineering comes up, many of them…

insufficient amount of available and effective techniques and resources to eradicate such well-established species. The presence of domestic cats is also an issue. However, a new development has arisen in which would involve reintroducing the Tasmanian devil back on Australia’s mainland in Victoria’s State’s Wilson’s Promontory National Park. The purpose of this report is to assess how feasible and effective this new strategy will be against successfully eradicating these…

cure once you have the disease. The next positive effect that gene editing has on society is that is can save endangered species and resurrect extinct species. An endangered species that is a prime example that could use gene editing is the tasmanian devil who is suffering due to an infectious cancer but, with gene editing scientist can get rid of the cancer gene and potentially save the species. Scientists also are editing animals so they are able to survive…

There isn’t a more exceptional developed dry season area than the tropical dry forest. This is the world’s most endangered biome. It is located in the southern part of Mexico, Southeastern Africa, the Lesser Sundas, Central India, Madagascar, New Caledonia, Eastern Bolivia, and Central Brazil. The tropical dry forest has its ups and downs. The tropical dry forest temperatures’ rise each year and get hundreds of centimeters of rain a year which makes it a perfect place for soil and vegetation.…

world, and discuss how different life is over there for children their age. Next, point out more isolated locations, such as Australia or the Galapagos Islands, and teach them about the multiple strange animals on each. Simply hearing about the Tasmanian Devil is pretty cool, but seeing where it makes its home (and how far that is from their home) will engage a child and create a more global perspective that can't be beat. Useful Travel…

It was so creepy you could only hear the sound of the trees swaying in the wind, and the occasional crunch of twigs or leaves under Geyorge’s boots. Him and his men were creeping around the forest confident that Ulrick would come and they would fight to the death. Slowly him and his men went tree to tree not taking any…

To start off I want to explain what brought me to this class. I have known that I wanted to work with individuals with exceptionalities since early high school, but I found a huge liking to the clinical side of things. I initially was looking at going into occupational therapy and my senior year in high school I shadowed a Speech Language Pathologist and absolutely fell in love. This is my second year at MSUM, but I am a junior credit-wise and have never thought about changing majors. I am also…
