Woolly mammoth

Dispatch 1 – The Field Museum On October 4th, 2015, I travelled to the Field Museum with another member of my class, Taylor Mitchell, and a friend of hers from a different Freshmen Experience class (see reference photo 1 for “selfie”). It was one of the monthly free days at the museum. It was my first time visiting the museum and my first time taking a CTA bus, so it was a very exciting day. My grandfather remembered going to the museum when he lived in Chicago as a very young boy, almost 90…

Different experiences Rules and regulations Religion ( faith, values, beliefs) Q4. ans: Ice age mammoth bones discovered in michigan farm: The new finding is one of about 300 mammoths and 30 mastodons They estimate the mammoth likely lived 11,700 to 15,000 years ago They discovered 20% of the mammoth bones They uncovered a bone about 3 feet (1 meter) long, which researchers found out a part of a mammoth pelvis. They are found to live in the stone age The team also found three basketball-sized…

it in a embryonic cell without a nucleus, and create an entire animal is somatic cloning. Woolly mammoths went extinct four thousand years ago. Their frozen bodies have well preserved tissue and hair which made believing that finding a working cellular nucleus would be easy. This potentially could make it possible to clone a wooly mammoth. In order to see if you have a working nucleus with an entire mammoth genome, you need a map of the entire genome. The University of Pennsylvania has made…

present. The Cenozoic is sometimes called the Age of Mammals, because the largest land animals have been mammals during that time. Large snakes named Titanoboa, giant crocodiles, Cave lions, sabre-toothed cats, cave bears, giant deer, woolly rhinoceroses, and woolly mammoths were prevailing species of the Quaternary Period. Without the dinosaurs, plant life had an opportunity to flourish during the Cenozoic Era. Nearly every plant living today had its roots in the Cenozoic Era. The climate was…

animals is unethical and could even destroy still-living species’ habitats. Scientists have recently been able to place DNA from frozen woolly mammoths into elephants, their closest living relatives. This process gives the offspring characteristics of both species, including more hair and longer tusks. Another method scientists are using is to cut DNA from the mammoth cells and place it into specific sequences of DNA in elephant cells, which has the same effect as the first method. Both…

A scientist is hard at work in his lab, working with a single hair of the extinct woolly mammoth. The well preserved DNA was a success in itself for the scientist, making his mission possible. He plans to make another copy of the woolly mammoth with the help of its DNA and its close relative, the elephant. The possibilities with the perfection of his work are endless. The world will not be ready for his great feat. This is the very near future. This is the cloning of extinct animals. This is…

In 1997, the first adult mammal was successfully cloned, a sheep named Dolly. This event led to the speculations of human cloning, reviving of extinct or endangered animals, and a medical innovation, which have become sizable controversial topics. In reality, the whole issue is arcane. The act of cloning is a very beneficial instrument to humans, as long as it is applied appropriately. A full knowledge of cloning is a requisite to understand the issue. Cloning is the biological process of…

Many people believe that the great Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas in 1492, others believe that he was only the first European to travel there, yet it turns out neither statements are correct, he was in fact second to Leif Erikson who travelled across nearly four centuries years before Columbus [http://www.history.com/topics/exploration/leif-eriksson]. Although Erikson was the first european, it is now widely believed that the first people to inhabit the Americas ‘descended from…

Imagine your loved ones walking home from work, when all of a sudden, s/he was shot in the head. You looked at the hunter, putting down his rifle with a smile on his face. Wouldn’t be pleasant, would it? That’s what hunters are doing to wild animals. They kill them for fun and place animals in games where their soul purpose is to be shot at. That isn’t a sport, you just shoot defenseless animals who have nothing to fight back with. All form of hunting should be forbidden. Animals feels pain.…

The african elephant lies in the phylum chordata because it has tissues, and a coelom. Along with having these two attributes, it is bilaterally symmetrical and also possesses a dorsal,tubular nerve cord and a postanal tail. It lies in the class Mammalia because it possess hair which is made of keratin, the hair provides insulation. It is endothermic (the majority of the heat energy is used to maintain their high body temperature). It has a 4 chamber heart. They also have mammary glands that are…
