1) Zoology is the scientific study of animal life. The principles of zoology are derived from physics, chemistry, and the scientific method. Principles learned from studying one animal group often apply to others due to shared evolutionary origins.
2) All living things share general properties including complexity, hierarchical organization, metabolism, development through life cycles, and interaction with the environment. Movement is required for reproduction, growth, response to stimuli, and development in multicellular organisms.
3) Reproduction can occur asexually through processes like budding or sexually between two parents. Sexual reproduction combines parental characteristics and generates more diversity than asexual reproduction. Hermaphroditism involves male and female
This PowerPoint, designed by East Stroudsburg University student Kristen O'Connor, is a PowerPoint designed for middle school science students on cell organelles.
The chordates are named for the notochord: a flexible, rod-shaped structure that is found in the embryonic stage of all chordates and also in the adult stage of some chordate species.
It is located between the digestive tube and the nerve cord, providing skeletal support through the length of the body.
In some chordates, the notochord acts as the primary axial support of the body throughout the animal's lifetime.
In five kingdom classification(scheme proposed by R. Whittaker in 1969), Protists make up a kingdom called “Protista”, composed of “Organisms which are unicellular or unicellular-colonial and which form no tissue.
Protists are the eukaryotes that are not members of the kingdom Plantae, Animalia or Fungi. Most Protists are unicellular, but few have hundreds or even thousands of cells.
Protists can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.
They move by cilia, flagella or pseudopodia.
in this ppt, i had discuss about cell,its structure,function.types of cells, plant and animal cell.and difrrence between plant and animal cell / prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

31. Chromosomal Basis of
Inheritance
5-31
■ Meiosis: Reduction Division of Gametes
■ Sex cells (gametes) transmit genetic
information from parents to offspring in
sexually reproducing organisms
■ Chromosomes occur in pairs: homologs
■ One member or the pair is donated by the mother,
the other by the father
■ Homologs
■ Contain similar genes encoding the same set of
characteristics
■ Usually have the same size and shape
32. ■ Meiosis Fig 5.12
■ Special type of nuclear division
■ Associated with gamete production
■ Genetic material replicates once followed by 2
successive nuclear divisions
■ Produces 4 daughter cells
■ Each with only 1 member of each homologous
chromosome pair or 1 set of chromosomes
(haploid)
5-32
Chromosomal Basis of
Inheritance
33. ■ Sources of Phenotypic Variation
■ The creative force of evolution is natural
selection acting on biological variation
■ Without variation
■No continued adaptation to a changing
environment
■No evolution

Variation
35. ■ Evolutionary Trends
■ Trends are directional changes in features and
diversity of organisms
■ Fossil record allows observation of evolutionary
change over broad periods of time.

38. Nature of the Reproductive
Process
7-38
■ Reproduction is one of the ubiquitous properties
of life
■ Evolution is inextricably linked to reproduction
■ Two modes of reproduction are recognized
■ Asexual
■ Sexual
39. ■ Asexual Reproduction
■ Involves only one parent
■ No special reproductive organs or cells
■ Genetically identical offspring are produced
■ Production of offspring is simple, direct, and
rapid
■ Widespread in bacteria, unicellular eukaryotes
and many invertebrate phyla
■ Ensures rapid increase in numbers
7-39
Nature of the Reproductive
Process
40. ■ Asexual Reproductive Methods
■ Binary Fission
■ Common among bacteria and protozoa
■ The parent divides by mitosis into two parts
■ Each grows into an individual similar to the parent
■ Binary fission can be lengthwise or transverse
■ Multiple Fission
■ Nucleus divides repeatedly
■ Cytoplasmic division produces many daughter cells
7-40
Nature of the Reproductive
Process
41. ■ Sporogony (Spore Formation)
■Form of multiple fission in parasitic
protozoa (like Plasmodium / malaria)
■ Budding
■Unequal division of an organism
■Bud is an outgrowth of the parent
■Develops organs and then detaches
■Occurs in cnidarians and several other
animal phyla
7-41
Nature of the Reproductive
Process
42. ■ Fragmentation
■Multicellular animal breaking into many
fragments that become a new animal
■Many anemones and hydroids
■Starfish examples are known
7-42
Nature of the Reproductive
Process
43. ■ Sexual Reproduction
■ Generally involves two parents
■ Special germ cells unite to form a zygote
■ Sexual reproduction recombines parental
characters
■ A richer, more diversified population results
■ In haploid asexual organisms
■ Mutations are expressed and selected quickly
■ In sexual reproduction
■ Normal gene on the homologous chromosome may
mask a gene mutation
7-43
Nature of the Reproductive
Process
44. ■ Hermaphroditism
■ Both male and female organs in the same individual
(monoeicious, hermaphrodites)
■ Many sessile, burrowing and/or endoparasitic
invertebrates and some fish
■ Most avoid self-fertilization
■ Exchange gametes with member of same species
■ Each individual produces eggs
■ Hermaphroditic species could potentially produce twice as
many offspring as dioecious species
■ Sequential Hermaphroditism
■ A genetically programmed sex change occurs with an
individual organism - clownfish example !
7-44
Nature of the Reproductive
Process
45. ■ Parthenogenesis
■ Development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg
■ Male and female nuclei fail to unite after fertilization
■ Avoids the energy and dangers of bringing two sexes
together
■ Narrows the diversity available for adaptation to new
conditions
■ Ameiotic Parthenogenesis
■ No meiosis occurs
■ Egg forms by mitosis
7-45
Nature of the Reproductive
Process
46. ■ Meiotic Parthenogenesis
■Haploid ovum formed by meiosis
■Develops without fusion with male nucleus
■ Sperm may be absent
or
■ May only serve to activate development
■In some species, the haploid egg returns
to a diploid condition by chromosomal
duplication or autogamy (rejoining of haploid
nuclei)
7-46
Nature of the
Reproductive Process
47. ■ Haplodiploidy - can determine sex
■Occurs in bees, wasps and ants
■Queen controls whether the eggs are
fertilized or unfertilized
■Fertilized eggs
■ Become female workers or queens
■ Unfertilized eggs become drones
