A. Yes, they can. By "panther" (and here I trust you'll excuse the temporary descent into pedantry!) I'm assuming you mean a leopard - specifically, a black leopard (which is what a black panther really is). In the wild state, cheetahs and leopards avoid each other like - well, cats and dogs. The cheetah in particular is forever wary of the larger, stronger leopard, because he knows that a fight between the two would be like pitting a welter-weight boxer against Evander Holyfield.

With Autosomal Dominant PKD, the only form of PKD so far identified and confirmed in cats, two genetic negative parents cannot produce a genetically positive offspring unless that offspring is a fresh mutation. See the discussion on autosomal-dominant inheritance below for further details. See similar questions...

Yes. Due to the alteration of the DNA, intelligence is now passed onto the next generation without the need/help of nanites. See similar questions...

Yes but these calves and lambs will not be clones, their parents would be. Because of the costs of applying this technology, it will not be profitable to breed animals for meat this way. It will be used to replicate elite, superior (and very valuable) stud animals. We will be talking to our customers to address any concerns. An industry code of practice is one way in which we could ensure that concerns were addressed We support full disclosure in labelling. See similar questions...

The National Zoo is a world leader at breeding endangered species. Our giant pandas are part of a breeding program that carefully matches potential giant panda parents in order to keep the population genetically healthy well into the future. On July 9, 2005, Mei Xiang gave birth to a cub. We learned on August 2, 2005, that the cub is male. On October 17, when he was 100 days old, he was named Tai Shan by a vote open to the public. More than 200,000 votes were cast. See similar questions...

Melt some chocolate by puting a container with the chocolate in a pan of boiling water, stir the chocolate when it is getting hot. Some experimentation regarding what chocolate to use is in place. I used chocolate chips of from Girardelli. One should probably aim for dark and not too sweet chocolate. Pour the chocolate over the beans and smear it so that each bean is covered - you should have a single layer of covered beans not too far apart. Place the beans in a pan (no teflon) and roast them.

ASSUME: Achatina fulica has a life span of about 6 years. Reproduction starts at end of year 1 and continues for 5 years followed by death. Yearly eggs per reproductive year per individual 100, 300, 400, 200, 100. Since Achatina are hermaphroditic, both parents can produce off springs! Only two surviving offspring are required during the parent's lifetime to insure a no growth or stable population. The remainder die from parasites, predators, desiccation, and old age.

Squirrels mate in the late Winter or very early Spring. This time may vary with location, and the weather conditions. The best time to see a squirrel's acrobatic skill is, during the "mating chase". Index See similar questions...

LOS occurs naturally in cattle. It is seen at higher rates with any assisted reproductive technologies and is not a problem caused specifically by cloning. See similar questions...

The Food and Drug Administration’s labeling policy requires that foods only be labeled if there have been significant changes in its nutritional composition, or if there are any changes in other health-related characteristics, such as allergenicity, toxicity or composition. Based on scientific studies, because the milk and meat products from cloned animals and their progeny are nutritionally equivalent to their conventional counterparts, they would not be required to be labeled.

Any baby born to Mei Xiang and Tian Tian would belong to China, and the Zoo would likely return the baby to China once it's old enough, so that it could become part of the breeding population there. In April 2007, we were very happy to announce that Tai Shan will remain at the Zoo an additional two years past his second birthday, which was July 9, 2007. Some time after that, he will be sent to China, as per the Zoo's agreement with the China Wildlife Conservation Association. See similar questions...

No. In free-living chimpanzees Jane Goodall has observed incest taboos. Mothers do not allow their sons to copulate with them, sisters do not copulate with their brothers and females do not copulate with older males in their familial group. Though none of these chimpanzees are biologically related, they have grown up in this family group and show no sexual behavior toward one another. If they did show sexual interest, we would have Dar and Loulis vasectomized. See similar questions...

The simplest way to produce an assembly is directly from a .NET compiler. For example, the following C# program: public class CTest { public CTest() { System.Console.WriteLine( "Hello from CTest" ); } } You can then view the contents of the assembly by running the "IL Disassembler" tool that comes with the .NET SDK. Alternatively you can compile your source into modules, and then combine the modules into an assembly using the assembly linker (al.exe). See similar questions...

Over the years, several things have been done to save the panther. In 1974 the Big Cypress National Preserve and the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve were formed and together have conserved over 645,000 acres of panther habitat. In 1981, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Established the Florida Panther Recovery Plan to outline actions to prevent extinction and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission expanded their field research to capture and radio-collar panthers.

The term 'Black Panther' is quite often used in connection with large black cats - however there is no one distinct species of wildcat called a 'Black Panther'. Over the years it has become used as a common name that can be applied to any large black-coated cat. When you see a picture of a 'Black Panther' it is most likely that you are looking at either a Leopard or possibly a Jaguar with Melanistic coloration. The term Melanistic is derived from melanin, a dark colored skin and hair pigment. See similar questions...
