The lobed river mullet (Cestraeus plicatilis [2]), also known as ludong or banak, [3] is a freshwater mullet. While it is claimed to be endemic to Cagayan River and tributaries extending through the watersheds of Cagayan Valley and the Santa-Abra River Systems of Ilocos Sur and Abra in the Philippines, [4] verifiable and reliable sources have listed Celebes, New Caledonia, New Hebrides, and ...

Stuffed female specimen at Boston Museum of Science. A first mtDNA D-loop haplotype comparison between heath hen specimens and prairie-chickens [5] brought the unexpected result that all heath hens tested formed a group very distinct from mainland birds, being most similar genetically to greater prairie chickens from Wisconsin.
According to the National Chicken Council, the birds head to market at an average of over 6 pounds in just 47 days. Back in the 50's, it would take 70 days for them to reach half that weight.
The list of organisms by chromosome count describes ploidy or numbers of chromosomes in the cells of various plants, animals, protists, and other living organisms.This number, along with the visual appearance of the chromosome, is known as the karyotype, [1] [2] [3] and can be found by looking at the chromosomes through a microscope.
For example, in a recent TED talk, physicist and entrepreneur Riccardo Sabatini demonstrated that a printed version of the entire human genetic code would occupy some 262,000 pages, or 175 large ...
The chicken embryo is a unique model that overcomes many limitations to studying the biology of cancer in vivo. The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), a well-vascularized extra-embryonic tissue located underneath the eggshell, has a successful history as a biological platform for the molecular analysis of cancer including viral oncogenesis, [8] carcinogenesis, [9] tumor xenografting, [1] [10] [11 ...
