My first draft (page 1) for a multiple entity evolutionary ecosystem of a 'world' (= a maze with multiple geographical features, flora and fauna) inhabited by various genetically adaptive entities. Geography, flora, fauna & the other entities would all be driven by genetic algorithms... I abandoned this when I discovered that Holland had developed a simiilar (but less complex) model 'Echo' some time ago.

Strangely enough, about fifteen years ago I wrote out the framework for a novel based on a large island surrounded by sea & divided by mountain ranges, rivers and mountains. The inhabitants of the island - principally human characters, wer all 'cowboy' type charactyers that lived on Uncle Sam's Ranch, Ivan's Spread, John Bull's Place, and so on and interacted as (immature), gun toting and rapacious individuals in a metaphorical model of national entities in a world system...

Scenes from COSI's "Genetic Counseling: The Faces of Genetic Disease" interactive "Experts" videoconference program for grades 9-12.
Here, Matt Pastore, pediatric genetic counselor at The Regional Genetics Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, discusses with remotely-connecting high school classrooms how genetics affects all of our lives.
In pediatric genetics, children with various birth defects, delays, and/or significant family history are evaluated to determine if they have an underlying genetic cause. Genetic counseling for several common conditions will be presented, including risk assessment, genetic testing, and psychosocial counseling.

In the middle-end of the XX century [ wow, this sentence makes me feel so old and saviour! ] the artistic life of the city was awakening. I had the luck to see the wonderful years when great ideas came out from the big social cauldron that often stands still across centuries, and suddenly started to boil. This is a remain of an artistic installation of that period… and it is so strange for me to see it again, aged and ‘toned’ like the surrounding environment. The question mark has been drawn recently by some unaware youngster, for sure. [ glad to see he had the willing to explore… and the brain to ask himself what in the hell that sentence should mean! But why he spent his little money in fluorescent spray cans to write question marks remains a mystery. An artistic fluorescent painting on a wall (with a meaning, of course), would have been welcomed… why they do not understand? ]
I have the feeling that cauldron is standing still again.

Genetic engineering is a process in which scientists modify the genetic makeup of organisms such as plants animals and microorganisms by introducing deleting or changing certain genes. The goal of genetic engineering is to produce organisms with advantageous characteristics such as improved disease resistance or improved nutritional content.

Genetic Stripe is a recessive gene which eliminates patterns on a ball python, and produces two black lines which run down its back. When combined with other genes it can do crazy things! Genetic Stripe Albinos, are patternless orange snakes for instance!

lemon - orange ~ never heard of genetic chimeras but they are really fascinating especially in humans : )
Color of Life note Color Conceals:
White alligators are prime example of what happens when color does not conceal. Albinism (total lack of pigment) results from a genetic change which puts the alligators at great risk because they are easy to spot by predators in their environment. Ref. California Academy of Sciences Color of Life Exhibit 2015
TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata (presense of a notochord (an internal skeletal rod that provides support) during some stage of the animal's development).
Class: Reptilia (snakes, worm lizards, lizards, alligators, caimans, crocodiles, tortoises, turtles, and tuataras).
Order: Crocodylia (crocodiles, alligators, caimans and the gharial).
Family: Alligatoridae (Alligators and Caimans).
Genus/species: Alligator mississippiensis
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Alligators have a muscular laterally flattened tails for propulsion and defense. Dorsally their skin is armored bony plates called osteoderms and scutes. They have four short legs with five toes on the front and four on the back. The snout is broad with upper facing nostrils to aide in breathing while major portion of the body is under water.
Differences between alligators and crocodiles:
1. Alligators tend to have wide, U-shaped, rounded snouts, while crocodiles tend to have longer, more pointed, V-shaped snouts.
2. The large lower fourth tooth of an alligator fits into a socket in the upper jaw and is not seen when the mouth is closed, whereas in crocodiles this tooth is visible.
3. Alligators live in freshwater; crocodiles tend to inhabit salt water.
4. On average alligators are smaller than crocodiles.
Alligators have between 74 and 80 teeth, which are replaced as they wear down; an alligator can go through 2,000 to 3,000 teeth in a lifetime.
The average alligator adult size for a female is 2.6 m (8.2 ft) and for males is 3.4 m (11.2 ft). Exceptionally large males can weigh over 450 kg (1000 pounds).
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT; Southeastern United States, from North Carolina to the Rio Grande in Texas. Habitat: Usually found in freshwater, especially in slow-moving rivers. They are also found in swamps, marshes, and lakes. They can tolerate salt water only briefly. They dig gator holes for use during low water periods in the summer.
DIET IN THE WILD: Alligators eat almost anything, but primarily consume fish, birds, turtles, mammals and amphibians.
Alligators spin on their long axis to rip off bite sized portions small enough to swallow when eating large animals such as deer.
Since they are ectothermic their need for food is decreased allowing them to survive without food for up to 3 years.
they are a mild threat to humans with approximately one death every 5 years reported between 1973-1990.
ACADEMY DIET: Claude is generally fed combination of small chickens, large rats, fish and a special micronutrient gel.
He is fed once a week always associated with a training session receiving 1-2 pounds of food per week. 4-14-18
REPRODUCTION: The temperature at which American alligator eggs develop determines their sex. Eggs which are hatched at 90 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit become males, while those at 82 to 86 degrees Fehrenheit become females. Intermediate temperature ranges yield a mix of both male and females. The hatchings grow rapidly, averaging over 1 foot of growth for each year of life. Both sexes reach sexual maturity at around 6 feet in length,
LONGEVITY: Wild: 35 to 50 years, captivity: 65 to 80 years.
CONSERVATION: IUCN Least Concern (LC), Some limited hunting is allowed in some states.
REMARKS: The California Academy of Sciences has one white pink eyed albino alligator born on 9-15-1995.
Recent Claude stats
2010 length 2.6m (8.5 feet), weigh 82 kg (181 pounds).
6-10-12 length 9.0 feet, weight 190 pounds.
6-10-13 length 9.5 feet, weight 222 pounds.
Claud's vision is poor because of lack of pigment which protects the eye from ultraviolet rays of the sun.
Leucistic alligators are are also genetically recessive but often have some dark patches on their white bodies. They have blue or brown eyes color thus are not albinos.
