Conservation Genetics

An interdisciplinary subfield of population genetics that aims to understand the dynamics of gene glow in populations to avoid extinction

Facts in species extinction

Habitat destruction, invasive species, pollution, overexploitation, and climate change

Factors that contribute to fitness of population

Genomic diversity, inbreeding, demographic history, effective population size, mutational load, and functionally important varbiables

Water Function

Hydrate the body, transport nutrients, regulate body temp dissolve and carry waste products.

Carbohydrates Function

provide immediate energy for the brain and body; aid in digestion; support mood and muscle building

Protein Function

Build and repair tissues; create hormones and enzymes; provide energy

Fats Function

store energy; form cell membranes; protect organs; provide insulation and regulate temp; aid in brain and verve function

Vitamin Function

regulate body processes; support normal body system functions; play a role in chemical reactions

Minerals Function

regulate body processes; build strong bones and teeth; cary oxygen; boost immune system
