Answer:

Unlike typical mammalian red blood cells, those from amphibians, such as frogs, contain a DNA-bearing nucleus that is visible in the center of the cell. The circulatory system of amphibians is rather unusual, their hearts having three chambers, two atria, and a single ventricle.

NegativePositive

Positive

The design of the amphibian circulatory system is curious because blood accumulates oxygen in the lungs and is then returned to the heart before being pumped into the rest of the circulatory system. Therefore, a mixing between oxygenated and deoxygenated blood occurs as blood returning to the heart from the lungs is mixed with incoming blood from the body. Frogs handle this situation by having a very slow metabolism and by absorbing some oxygen through their skin. In addition, the ventricle does have some directional control over the distribution of the blood.

Negative

The presence of a nucleus in amphibian red blood cells allows researchers easy access to large quantities of amphibian DNA. Frog blood has both a solid and a liquid portion. The liquid plasma carries solid elements such as red and white blood cells. Blood can be collected from frogs and the red blood cells isolated by centrifugation. After removal of the residual plasma, purified cells can be treated with specific enzymes and detergents to digest the cellular envelope and release DNA from its protein complex. The DNA is then useful for scientific studies and experiments.

<span>The population dynamics of the Warbler species differ from what's documented by Scott Sillett and colleagues one migration issues.
The Warbler species are non migratory species, while Scott Sillet and colleagues have been studying migratory species. The Warbler species were even taken to other islands, in some cases, in order to give them the </span>security of additional breeding populations, this because their population dynamics is not a migratory one. The studied species by Scott Sillet and colleagues, on the other hand, have migratory population dynamics: they pass their Summer time in <span>New Hampshire and and their Winter time in Jamaica.</span>
