Condors populations dipped to the point of extinction because  their food was polluted with lead from bullets. Condors are also being electrocuted because the are landing on power lines. These are all man made problems so it is our duty to solve these problems. You can help by doing as little as picking up after yourself.]]> 2019-04-23 15:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/3375281/l22qkuuyzc26/wish/353425942 3375281 https://padlet.com/3375281/l22qkuuyzc26/wish/353426043 DNA samples can be collected from any part of an organism. The popular method would be blood. Collecting DNA is used for discovering their gender, finding diseases, and other things. They find the gender of the bird through their chromosomes. This DNA can also assist us in finding out more ways to help the bird back to a stable population. ]]> 2019-04-23 15:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/3375281/l22qkuuyzc26/wish/353426043 3375281 https://padlet.com/3375281/l22qkuuyzc26/wish/353426233 PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction. It is a reaction used to make many copies of the same part of a DNA. We use PCR because it grow infinitely and exponentially. Thermocycling is necessary because it allows the PCR proccess to work fast and smoothly. ]]> 2019-04-23 15:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/3375281/l22qkuuyzc26/wish/353426233 3375281 https://padlet.com/3375281/l22qkuuyzc26/wish/353426391 This Pedigree displays the generations of Condors, the genders of Condors, the cause of death for each Condor, and the genetic variety across different offspring's. We use this to interpret which generations receive mutations, diseases, and traits. With the interpretation of genetics, we can dictate which animals would be able to safely breed by looking at each generation's mutations, genes, traits, and punnet squares for dominant or recessive traits.]]> 2019-04-23 15:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/3375281/l22qkuuyzc26/wish/353426391 3375281 https://padlet.com/3375281/l22qkuuyzc26/wish/353426451 Gel Electrophoresis (GE) is a process in which DNA is separated by size in agarose gel from seaweed. It can help us know the gender of a condor if the sex chromosomes are put in a GE machine because they will be sorted by size and you will know if the condor has different sex chromosomes or the same chromosomes.]]> 2019-04-23 15:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/3375281/l22qkuuyzc26/wish/353426451 3375281 https://padlet.com/3375281/l22qkuuyzc26/wish/353426621 Chondrodystrophy is a skeletal disorder. This disorder affects the development of cartilage. In the punnet square there is a 25% chance a baby will have it and 50% chance they will be carriers]]> 2019-04-23 15:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/3375281/l22qkuuyzc26/wish/353426621
