Answer:

There has been an increasing pressure on the livestock sector to meet the growing demand for high-value animal protein. The world’s livestock sector is growing at an unprecedented rate and the driving force behind this enormous surge is a combination of population growth, rising incomes and urbanization. Annual meat production is projected to increase from 218 million tonnes in 1997-1999 to 376 million tonnes by 2030.

There is a strong positive relationship between the level of income and the consumption of animal protein, with the consumption of meat, milk and eggs increasing at the expense of staple foods. Because of the recent steep decline in prices, developing countries are embarking on higher meat consumption at much lower levels of gross domestic product than the industrialized countries did some 20-30 years ago.

Urbanization is a major driving force influencing global demand for livestock products. Urbanization stimulates improvements in infrastructure, including cold chains, which permit trade in perishable goods. Compared with the less diversified diets of the rural communities, city dwellers have a varied diet rich in animal proteins and fats, and characterized by higher consumption of meat, poultry, milk and other dairy products. Table 4 shows trends in per capita consumption of livestock products in different regions and country groups. There has been a remarkable increase in the consumption of animal products in countries such as Brazil and China, although the levels are still well below the levels of consumption in North American and most other industrialized countries.

As diets become richer and more diverse, the high-value protein that the livestock sector offers improves the nutrition of the vast majority of the world. Livestock products not only provide high-value protein but are also important sources of a wide range of essential micronutrients, in particular minerals such as iron and zinc, and vitamins such as vitamin A. For the large majority of people in the world, particularly in developing countries, livestock products remain a desired food for nutritional value and taste. Excessive consumption of animal products in some countries and social classes can, however, lead to excessive intakes of fat.

Deletion

Explanation:

ATGCCATG<u>G</u>CATTGA

-->

ATGCCATGCATTGA

Comparing the two sequences, you can see that one G nucleotide is missing in the new sequence compared to the original.

This is a single nucleotide deletion, where one nucleotide is lost from the sequence. Otherwise, the sequence is entirely unchanged.

Discuss ONE possible strategy to control the cane toad population. Include the consequence or limitations of this strategy.
maxonik [38]
One possible strategy would be to find the cane toads natural predators. if the cane toad does have natural predators, then it can control the population by hunting it and etc. one limitation to this however would be that there has to be an balance between the toad and that natural predator. for example, they need to survive off of each other so there can’t be too many of the toads not so many natural predators and vise verse. (i hope this makes sense i took bio last year)
