Ethology And Its Methods || Animal Behaviour

  ETHOLOGY AND ITS METHODS   The various aspects related with animal behavior can be studied by applying the following methods - 1. Under natural conditions. 2. Experimental Analysis 3. Statistical Analysis 1. Under Natural Conditions: - The best way of studying animal behavior is under natural conditions. Observation may be in the form of field notes, checklist of behavior patterns, tape recorders, motion pictures etc. While studying animal behavior in natural surroundings circadian rhythms and seasonal cycles are taken into consideration. 2. Experimental Analysis: - Experiments are conducted in two ways viz. Field experiment and Laboratory experiment – (A) Field Experiment: - These are performed with least disturbance to the animal. The first phase involves a thorough description of all aspects of the animal under observation. For this binocular and infrared devices are required when more than one individuals are to be observed, it is desirable to make...

LAC CULTURE || ECONOMIC ZOOLOGY || B.Sc Class Notes|| PDF

Image
LAC CULTURE Lac is a natural resin of animal origin. It is secreted by an insect, known as lac-insect. In order to obtain lac, these insects are cultured and the technique is called lac-culture. It involves proper care of host plants, regular pruning of host plants, propagation, collection and processing of lac.   History and Nomenclature   Lac has been used in India from time immemorial for several purposes, from the epic of Mahabharat it has been recorded that Kauravas built a palace of lac for the destruction of Pandavas. We come across references of lac in the Atharvaveda and Mahabharata, so it can be presumed that ancient Hindus were quite familiar with lac and its uses.   Scientific study of lac started much later. In 1709 Father Tachard discovered the insect that produced lac. First of all Kerr (1782) gave the name Coccus lacca which was also agreed by Ratzeburi (1833) and Carter (1861). Later Green (1922) and Chatterjee (191...

Basic Concepts in Genetic Engineering || BIOTECHNOLOGY

Basic Concepts in Genetic Engineering Introduction:   Manipulation of gene and genetic material by man is a fast emerging branch of science that started with the formation of recombinant DNA molecules. This branch of science is named  Recombinant DNA technology, genetic engineering and DNA manipulation Biotechnology. This technology involves cutting and pasting of desired DNA fragments into the specified host for the benefit of human beings. The origin of biotechnology is as old as human civilization. As a science, it is little more than 100 years old. Fermentation is the oldest biotechnological process discovered by people by prolonged soaking of grains before cooking or by storing juices of fruits or palms. During the last two decades biotechnology has achieved the greatest advancement in the fields of Recombinant DNA technology. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) cell culture and fusion, bioprocessing, gene cloning, DNA fingerprinting, in vitro fertilization leading to a...
