SCIENTISTS TO CLONE THE FIRST STEP MAMMOTH HISTORY

MARCH 14th 2014
When investigating the remains of an ancient mammoth, researchers found well preserved and managed liquid blood DNA sequencing. Now confirm that you are able to clone a mammoth first time in history. The remains of the mammoth lived in northern Russia 43,000 years ago were preserved surprisingly well, better than a dead 6 months after burial, said one of the chief researchers, Victoria Egorova. As a result, for the first time this extinct species erythrocytes were found. "The data we obtained allow us to clone a mammoth. However, it will be a different mammoth that lived 43,000 years ago," says Radik Jairúlin, vice president of the Association of Anthropologists of Russia. He explained that for cloning a female elephant would be needed, and that means that the cloned offspring be a hybrid. Scientists are also looking for the answer to the question why the mammoth was preserved so well? The most obvious explanation is very cold weather, which kept all this time frozen mammoth. But while the researchers believe that the blood of the mammoth could have some special characteristics that allowed cryoprotective survive a cold as -60 degrees Celsius. The mammoth was found last year in New Siberian Islands by an expedition of the Russian Federal Northwestern University and attracted much interest from international scientists.

  Tirso de Molina participated once again in the Global Classrooms project sponsored by the Community of Madrid Ministry of Education. The bilingual section classes in the 3rd of ESO spent the first trimester of the school year learning about the United Nations, our designated countries, the assigned topic, and debating techniques.  Our school researched the following countries; Austria, Brazil, Senegal, Kuwait, and Papua New Guinea for the purpose of the project. Additionally, we researched and investigated the issue of the rights of migrants across the world in order to be prepared to debate the issue at the conference in January.  Ten students were selected to represent our school at the conferences, which were a gathering of representatives from public schools across the Community of Madrid for the purpose of debating and seeking resolutions to the issues researched.  Our students did a fantastic job, and we are so proud of their critical thinking ski...

MONFRAGÜE

Today I'll have talk about the next excursion we will make any students of 4th ESO 1st Bachillerato and 2nd Bachillerato The days 7, 8 and 9 April we are going to the National Park Monfragüe. Monfragüe is in Cáceres (Extremadura). The excursion we do with biology and go to sleep in cabins of 8 10 or 12 people. I think it will be a great excursion and very funny. When we're not all there will be laughter and we'll have to get up early and walk a lot, but probably worth the effort. The routes that we have done are raised to see much wildlife and many varieties of animals. The price is cheap, 45 € the three days, so if it does not include the food, we have to bring us the house Those chosen to go to excursion were chosen by lottery as there was space for everyone. Here you have some pictures of the landscape Monfragüe. PARQUE NATURAL DE MONTFRAGÜE
