here are 5 common genetic defects in quarter horses but I will focus on HYPP and PSSM. Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis (HYPP) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, it is a defect in the conduction of electrical impulses that controls muscle contractions. Horses with minor cases have few tremors, but horses that are chronic develop dangerous muscle cramping, paralysis, collapsing and/or sudden death. This defect became of breeders selecting heavy muscling in quarter horses to win halter classes. It is a highly heritable trait, because if even one parent is a carrier it will be passed on to the offspring as another carrier. If two carriers of this mutation mate than there is a 50% that offspring will express the mutation. But this mutation
Justin Morgan was a living legend. Born in 1789, Justin Morgan started life as a small, rough-coated colt known as "Figure." Gradually, the local population began to talk about the feats of "the Justin Morgan horse". Justin Morgan also proved to be one of the greatest breeding horses of all time. While most breeds develop by breeding horses of similar characteristics to each other, Justin Morgan's ability to pass his characteristics to his offspring for generations to come allowed this single stallion to found an entire breed in his likeness. Today, every registered Morgan traces back to Justin Morgan through his best-known sons Bulrush, Sherman, and Woodbury.
I can remember being a little kid and listening to stories my Grandpa and Great Grandpa told about the mustangs that used to be around the Black Canyon. They used to tell stories about when they would put their mares out with the mustangs during the winter to get bred. Then they would go out in the spring and catch their mares. They told stories of the times they had to chase the mustangs from the fields during the winter so the cattle could eat. They told of when they would go and capture the colts from the herd to keep for themselves. I can even remember the last one they ever had. He was at least 25 years old when I saw him. The last I knew of the mustangs Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rounded the herd up and that is all I ever heard.
My periodic table on horse breeds. I choose this because I love horses. I love riding them, caring for them, and just being around them in general. I organized the horse breeds into four groups - ponies, light horses (usually riding horses), and draft horses (usually working horses), and other horses (miniature horses, gaited horses, etc.).
Spinal Muscular Atrophy affects about 8 out of every 100,000 live births and also causes death among more babies than any other genetic disease out there. About one in every forty people has this gene in them but may not have SMA so they are a genetic carrier. But in order for a child to have SMA, both parents have to carry the mutated gene and passed it to the child. Therefore this causes the child to have double copies of the abnormal gene. About 1 in 40 men and 1 in 80 women are carriers of the gene.
mother and her husband after her mother’s death. But Eudora Welty deliberately includes a selfish character of Fay in the family to shows the important of the memories they have. Laurel discovers the significant meaning of the memories and past to her, yet she could not survive in staying fully attached to it.
The American horse racing industry has been admired by generations upon generations. Although it is a very cherished sport, like any other sport, there are many issues involved. The major issue that I find is that many owners make the decision to breed when there are other solutions. The Jockey Club, also known as the head council for the American Horse Racing Industry, should be addressing the major issue of overbreeding in the American horse racing industry.
Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common lethal mutations in humans. The autosomal recessive allele is carried by 1/20 Caucasians, 1/400 couples will have children with the disease, and ¼ children will be afflicted. If untreated, 95% of affected ch ildren will die before age five (Bell, 1996).
	William Faulkner wrote two short stories, which are alike in many aspects. "Spotted Horses" and "Mule in the Yard" are short stories that both involve comic animal chases and financial transactions. Even though the stories are written by the same author, have similar characteristics, and share similar plot features, they are entirely different stories. The stories are both examples of interpretive literature, however "Spotted Horses" is a more interpretive short story than "Mule in the Yard because "Spotted Horses" fits Perrine’s profile of interpretive literature, and "Mule in the Yard" seems to replicate Perrine’s profile of escape literature.
When I think back to the stories that I have heard about how the Native American Indians were driven from their land and forced to live on the reservations for one particular event comes to mind. That event is the Battle of the Little Big Horn. It is one of the few times that the Oglala Sioux made history with them being the ones who left the battlefield as winners. The. When stories are told, or when the media dares to tamper with.
Crazy Horse During the time where the government was continuously suppressing the Native Americans, one man in particular seemed to stand up with great strength for the rights of his people. Going by the name of Crazy Horse, he was born around 1840, the time that the Lakota were at the height of their power. As time went on, a change began to occur in the once thriving land. The white settlers began to move to the west pushing for more land and gold.

he horse, Equus ferus caballus, is a subspecies from the family Equidae. Over the past 50 million years, through survival adaptations, the common horse has evolved from a relatively small, multi-toed animal into the large, single toed animal known today (Wilson,. Mammal Species of the World (3rd ed.). Baltimore).

Within the equine industry, that are many different careers that one can look into. Although, I haven’t been as experienced on the science end of the industry. I have become engrossed within the science and the welfare of performance horses. I work very hard to learn as much inside and outside of the classroom. The ability to go abroad to Hartpury College in Gloucester, England will give me a well-rounded education of the equine sciences.
more than half the variation was found to be due to heredity. Among these traits were
