There are no land-based animals in Antarctica. The only food chain is in the Southern Ocean. Some ocean-based animals, such as penguins and seals come to the edges of the continent to breed, usually during the warmer months.

Why were dogs banned in Antarctica under Annex II to the Environmental Protocol Conservation of Antarctic Fauna and Flora and what happened to the removed dogs?

Dogs in Antarctica were always working animals, but they were otherwise untrained. There were occasions when the dogs would become loose, when they would chase the native animals that visited the continent to breed. This was natural behaviour for the dogs. It was discovered that the dogs could transmit diseases to the breeding marine animals. Based on their ability to transmit disease, and their natural instincts, dogs were banned from Antarctica. Dogs exported from Antarctica found homes with people who wanted to keep them as pets, or they were otherwise employed as working dogs in areas where working animals support transport.

Where do penguins get there food from in the Antarctica?

Scavenging protein from dead animals may be the habit of animals that require protein, such as sea-based raptors or protein-eating sea mammals. However, since no animal 'lives' on the Antarctic continent, there are very few cadavers there. The sea birds and sea mammals that require protein may consume dead animals they encounter at sea.


How are animal breeding cycles impacted by the earths rotation?

Seasons would be affected by a change in the earth's rotation. As many animal's breeding cycles are based on the season, some animals could stop breeding altogether.


Genetics experiments on the breeding of plants or animals are based on the laws of?

Genetics experiments on breeding plants or animals are based on the laws of inheritance, primarily Mendelian genetics. These laws describe how traits are passed down from parents to offspring through genetic material. By understanding these laws, scientists can predict and manipulate the outcomes of breeding experiments to produce desired traits.


What is the process by which humans select plants or animals for breeding based on disired traits?

They selectively breed them. So that the animal has the best characteristics possible. Examples are pigs with more fat or sheep with thicker wool.

How are selective breeding and natural breeding different?

Selective breeding is when farmers or bioligists breed certain animals together because of their traits. This is man made. For example, cattle are breeded together based on positive traits.Natural Selection, however, is natural obviously. Here the concept of "the survival of the fittest" is put into place. Animals that run the fastest, have the longest necks, etc. tend to survive. Then, when these animals breed, their characteristics are passed on from generation to generation and become more common.
