3) In the 1990’s Florida Fish and Game wanted to control a population of lamprey that had been introduced into Lake Okeechobee b
y placing a nerve inhibitor into the lake that would ultimately kill lamprey. Because ray-finned fish don’t have this receptor they would not be effected. This proposal was meet with resistance by local environmental groups because the effects had not been studied on lancelets. Being a concerned citizen, take a position and support or reject the proposal and support your position.
I have been advised that the Florida Fish and Game board is intending to control the lamprey population by using a nerve inhibitor. While I applaud your efforts, I am deeply concerned that this will have unknown effects on the other fish such as the lancets that live in the water. I am doubly concerned that it may have an effect on water quality, the plants that are dependent on the water and the people in the surrounding areas that depend on this water source for survival.
Please furnish any data you have on the previous concerns that I have delineated above and allow the citizens to have a meeting to discuss the changes that you intend to make.
The law of segregation is the Mendel’s laws or principles explain that traits are passed from parents to offspring individually instead of as pairs, groups or sets.This is a law or principle which states that during the formation of gametes, two copies of each heredity factors separate out so that the new offspring can get one factor of both the parents. This law was the first law in this direction.
