There are no land-based animals in Antarctica: it's too cold to support any kind of food chain.

What are the breeding sessions of land based animals in antarctica?
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.
How big is antarctica in the summer?
Antarctica is a continent and does not change size based on seasons.
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?
probability
How has Antarctica's wildlife been exploited?
Except that the sea birds that come to Antarctica's beaches to breed are subject to scientific examination, there is no exploitation of these animals. PS: There is no wildlife on the Antarctic continent -- it's too cold to support life and there is no food chain.
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.
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.
What are humans select organisms for breeding based on traits?
Humans use selective breeding to pass desired traits to the next generation of plants or animals.
What part of antarctica are countries based?
There are no countries in Antarctica.
We have seasons because sometimes the earth is closer to the sun?
The seasons do not change based on how close the earth is to the sun. The seasons change based on the rotation of the earth on its axis.
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.
