The pons is the region responsible for regulating hiccupping, swallowing, and coughing the main visceral control center of the body, which regulates many activities of visceral organs a "bridge" between the medulla oblongata and the cerebellum, contains some reticular formation nuclei, and the middle cerebellar peduncles attach to it the "gateway" to the cerebral cortex responsible for initiating visual reflexes and flexion movements of the trunk

a "bridge" between the medulla oblongata and the cerebellum, contains some reticular formation nuclei, and the middle cerebellar peduncles attach to it

The pons is located in front of the cerebellum, above the medulla oblongata. It is a segment of the midbrain connecting the upper and lower parts of the brain. It is responsible for relaying messages and serves as a message center.

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
