(m)\n\nCloning of Plant Cells and Manipulation of Plant Genes\nPlant cells exhibit a variety of characteristics that distinguish them from animal cells. These characteristics include the presence of a large central vacuole and a cell wall, and the absence of entioles, which play a role in mitosis, meiosis, and cell division. Along with these physical differences, another factor distinguishes plant cells from animal cells, which is of great significance to the scientist interested in biotechnology: Many varieties of full-grown adult plants can regenerate from single, modified plant cells called protoplasts - plant cells whose cell walls have been removed by enzymatic digestion. More specifically, when some species of plant cells are subjected to the removal of the cell wall by enzymatic treatment, they respond by synthesizing a new cell wall and eventually undergoing a series of cell divisions and developmental processes that result in the formation of a new adult plant. That adult plant can be said to have been cloned from a single cell of a parent plant. \nPlants that can be cloned with relative ease include carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, petunias, and cabbage, to name only a few. The capability to grow a whole plant from a single cell means that researchers can engage in the genetic manipulation of the cell, let the cell develop into a completely mature plant, and examine the whole spectrum of physical and growth effects of the genetic manipulation within a relatively short period of time. Such a process is far more straightforward than the parallel process in animal cells, which cannot be cloned into full-grown adults. Therefore, the results of any genetic manipulation are usually easier to examine in plants than in animals.

no they cant. If you are worried maybe you shouldnt save your conservations..

Well, those organisms are meant to be there.  Some protected the trees and others don't.  Also some produced fertilizers for the tree.  But then some used the tree as their means of food.  Others also cultivated the soil of the tree.  And most of all, these organisms depended on the tree for oxygen like us as well as energy.

Biodiversity by definition means a variety of life: the different plants, animals and micro-organisms, their genes and the ecosystems of which they are a part.\n\nBiodiversity should be conserved because each species plays a role in its ecosystem. As species become extinct, the equilibrium or balance within the ecosystem is altered. Eventually, these alterations could have a negative impact on human life on this planet. \n\nSee chapter 11 of this online textbook for values of biodiversity: http://www.dbc.uci.edu/~sustain/bio65/Titlpage.htm

With many declining populations, there are no hard numbers available.  Because the organisms are very rare, it is often difficult to tell exactly how many are left in the wild without doing extensive surveys, and there simply isn't funding to track the populations of all endangered species that closely.\n\nWith other species, there are conservation programs in place, and populations are monitored as closely as possible.\n\nA good place to start to find information on specific endangered species is the IUCN (World Conservation Union) Red List of Threatened Species.  Their web-site can be found at http://www.redlist.org/info/introduction

Over the last several decades a significant decline in frog populations all over the world have been noticed, they are just not moving to diffrent locations.  Right now thousands of species are considered endangered or extinct.\n\nFrogs have been on this planet for more the three hundred millions years.  They were around at the time of the dinosaurs and out lived them.  They belong to the class amphibia, meaning double life.  This name fits them because they spend part of their life in the water and part of their life on land.  Unlike reptiles amphibians as a whole rely on water a lot more and can never move far from it.  Today there are almost 5900 species of known amphibians, which 4800 are frog species.  Frogs and toads (which are a type of frog) belong to the order anura.  Of this order there are 29 different families.  Many biologists question why frogs are in a state of decline, an answer with more the one apparent culprit.  It seems to be a combination of problems such as habit destruction, cattle grazing, agriculture, pollution, climate change, UV radiation, pesticides, invasive species, and even road traffic.\n\nHumans have caused much destruction to the natural environment.  We reduce the number of habitats suitable for many species to thrive in, causing them to migrate elsewhere, adapt to us, or die off.  Frogs are very fragile creatures that adapt slowly to major change.  They always must maintain wet, moist skin and due to their dependency on water they are unable to migrate long distances to find suitable habitat.  If we destroy the only pond in an area where will the frogs go?  We forget that they are small animals and a distance of a mile might be too much for them.  \n\nForest fragmentation of a few hundred feet is enough to wipe out an entire population of frogs.  Something as simple as a road can devastate a species’ numbers.  If a road blocks them from their mating ground it can be an impossible task to cross it.  Many times on a warm sunny day the road will get very hot, and the frog’s skin will dry out while crossing it, resulting in its death.    Along with forest fragmentation comes the edge effect.  With the edge effect a once cool shaded area can change dramatically.  The edge effect causes greater changes in temperature and moisture that can be unsuitable for many frog species.   Microhabitats can dry out and temperatures inside the forest fragment can become increasing cold due wind patterns.  Along the edge different vegetation can take over resulting in invasive species of both plant and animal.  In Brazil an Amazonian frog species has shown great decline and forest fragmentation seems to play a key role.  Adult survival was not effected by fragmentation but mean clutch size was reduced by 17%.  By experiments it has been shown that the fragmentation of the forest causes increase predation, increase in interspecific competition, and slower growth rate resulting in delayed reproduction.  \n\nNot just forest fragmentation causes frog decline but also other human alterations to habitats is causing declines worldwide.  Wetlands are the homes of many species of frogs and humans over the years have in some way changed the landscape.  The wetting and drying of the wetlands has great influence on many organisms and frogs are no different.  The Murray-Darling Basin of Australia has been modified for irrigation flow and has reduced the overbank flooding into flood plain wetlands.  This degradation of the wetlands has caused all frog species in the area to decline by an average of 23%.\n\nAgriculture is also another way in which humans alter the habitat.  Both rangeland and cropland reduces the population size of frogs.  Cattle grazing greatly alters the habitat.  First off the habitat many times must be made suited for grazing.  This means frog habitat can be destroyed causing a direct effect or the cattle can interfere with frog migration, causing an indirect effect.  By the grazing of livestock migrat

What will happen is that the plant will die coz chlorophyll is a pigment in plants that enables the plant to produce it's own food for survival so without chlorophyll it won't be able to produce it's own food thus resulting to death of the plant.

Depends on the plant. Some plants grow faster than others.

correct.\n\n      they are barely a concern.     they are folly\n \n             thank you for your very relevant question.\n\nTHERE ARE MANY, MANY VERY, VERY BIG ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES WHICH ARE CAUSING THE PROBABLE EXTINCTION OF OUR SPECIES WHICH ARE NOT GETTING TAKEN AS SERIOUSLY.

The Do-Do is a well known extinction, they died out because the people ate them all. Predators got to their eggs and there wasn't any kind of conservation going on then.

Birds feed off them as well as many animals, when they die there corses help feed plants and the cycle goes around and around.

No. They should pack it in and relocate to a place where they'll be safe from nature.

if they stop the research then they'll be kicking themselves when they get an incurabe disease.\npeople will evolve regardless let the nutjobs be nutty

They can't know, just like we can't.  \n\nThey may be able to read cues and clues like we do, but they are not prognosticators.  \n\nGenerally plants and animals are adapted to the area they live in, and know how to prepare either from experience or even genetic cues.  Also, they always seem to prepare for the worst.  I've seen trees in warm California lose there leaves because they thought winter was coming.  It was, but they could have easily grown through the mild winter.  They were a species adapted to a different climate.\n\nGood question.  It shows you're thinking about your world!

While the koala is not considered an endangered species, it is considered "threatened". Here is another website that will answer your question regarding current issues.\n\nhttp://home.vicnet.net.au/%7Ekoalas/factsprobs.html

The endagered species.... Probably because I am an animal lover but also because while they both are precious this world is much worse off with the link of a species missing and if the species is endangered that means every one really really counts. (Not that the childs life doesnt count)...\n\nIts really a hard pick and if put in the situation my answer could totally change...
