3. Dominant alleles mask recessive alleles.

4. Recessive traits only show if there are two recessive alleles.

5. Dominant traits always show if there is a dominant allele.

7. The goals were to identify 20,000-25000 genes in human DNA, to determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, store this info in to data bases.

8. Today some potential applications of genome research is cloning humans and animals.

10. Cloning Endangered Species Cloning endangered species is a good idea because you are not changing the food chain or harming any other animals. You are simply increasing the number of animals that are dying of so they do not become extinct. For example, the polar bear is endangered because its environment has become too hot.

11. Cloning Endangered Species 2 I also think it is good to clone endangered species. Why would you not want anymore tigers or any other endangered animal in the world? Its one thing if the animal can’t live in an environment today. An extinct animal wouldn’t do well in today's environment. People are sometimes going out of there way to save endangered species and they wouldn’t have to worry anymore.

12. Cloning Endangered Species 3 Cloning endangered species could be a bad thing because it could lead to different type of experiments. Scientist would be encouraged to genetically alter animals or to clone humans and genetically alter them as well. If we don't clone them then they will die but that would be better than changing the life cycle. Cloning animals could lead to cloning extinct species too. Dinosaurs could be walking around in the future. Things would become too dangerous if we try to clone animals.

13. Cloning Endangered Species 4 Cloning endangered species could have negative affects too. The animal can be very different. Something can go wrong during the cloning process. I think the scientist or whoever is cloning the animal would have to make sure it eats the same food as the animal that is being cloned, and everything else that the animal does like its natural instinct. You never know what could happen.

14. Conclusion In conclusion, cloning species is probably a good idea. I think scientist should react quick though, because once the amount of the animal has dropped, then there wont be many animals they can clone, and it would be too late. There are some funds like WWF, the World wildlife fund that tries to help save endangered species.
