A. Elephant. They can live to 70 or even older in captivity. Many tortoises can top that, but you specified mammals. Gorillas only live to about 50 in captivity.

what is the difference between reptile teeth and mammal teeth?
Q. If a paleontologist were to study fossils of an animal, he could determine whether the animal was a reptile or mammal by its teeth. Why is this so?
Asked by soccermaniac93 - Wed Jan 27 19:49:49 2010 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Mammals have differentiated teeth - canines, molars, incisors, etc. Reptiles have teeth all of one type. Mammal teeth are deeply rooted and contain nerves, whilst reptile teeth are essentially dead tissue, having no nerves. They are loosely attached by comparison and often fall out when feeding, to be replaced by new ones - they constantly grow new teeth throughout their lives.

How much does a marine mammal Trainer make?
Q. I want to know if a marine mammal trainer makes more money or an equine vet, I want to become of of these because i lovee animals and i especially love the water. But how much do they make starting from the beginning of the career and as soon as you've been in this job for a couple of years do you make more? Thank you also are there any marine mammal training school in california and where could you find jobs here in california for training them? thnx.

A. To be a marine mammal trainer, you will likely need a Bachelor's degree (4-6 years full-time study) in marine biology, zoology, or a related field. In the US, the beginning salary for someone with a degree in one of these fields averaged $33,254 in July 2009. The average starting salary for an equine vet in 2008 was $41,636. A Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine will require 4 years of schooling AFTER you get your Bachelor's degree.

What would happen if the DNA of a mammal and bacterium were mixed together?

Asked by DaniBaje - Sat May 8 19:26:22 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Assuming provide proper conditions for double helix denaturing and annealing, sequences on either DNA can bind to each each other if the sequences are complementary. But otherwise, not much would happen. Most of mammalian DNA is non-coding and as a result just contains repetitive sequences that would most likely not bind to bacterial DNA. So you better be sure you have coding DNA! (also known as an exon)

A. If you want to train you should also pay attention to the behavioral sciences and develop a good understanding of classical and operant conditioning. You should also check into SCUBA lessons as certification is generally required. Of course anything you can do to get experience working with any type of animal is desirable. Apply for a job at a local pet store or volunteer your services to a local vet, nature center or zoo. Best of luck!

Can competency be induced in mammal cells as it can be in bacterial cells?
Q. I know that bacteria can be made competent to take up plasmid DNA by giving them a small electric shock or by introducing chloride salts and then putting them through a cycle of cooling and heating. But can this be done in mammal cells? If so, is the process the same? Or is there an easier way in which large amounts of DNA can be inserted into mammal cells (like through what I believe are called "cosmids")?

What are the differences in osmoregulation between a fish, amphibian, lizard and a mammal?
Q. Compare the different strategies of osmoregulation between a fish, amphibian, lizard and a mammal.
Asked by An Agent of Chaos - Thu Jan 25 12:44:45 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Osmoregulation, of course, is the process of making sure you have the right amount of osmotic pressure. There's a fine difference between osmoregulation (water pressure) and hydroregulation (water volume)... and that difference is salt. Differing solute concentrations do most of the driving of osmosis, so much of osmoregulation involves controlling salt in one way or another. There are quite a few animals that AREN'T osmoregulators, but since none of your examples are marine invertebrates, that's not something we need to worry about. These critters conform to ambient salinity instead of maintaining a separate internal one. (It's worth mentioning, though, that since most invertebrates are osmoconformers and most animals (97%) are… [cont.]

Bird hearts have the same basic 4 chambers as mammal hearts, namely right and left atria and right and left ventricles. The presence of either feathers or hair would indicate the animal is one of the ones that is endothermic at all times because only birds and mammals fit this category.
