### science | biology | forestry:

Silviculture
* are forestry.
* can reduce losses from the southern pine beetle.
* includes all non-Federal forest land.
* is forestry
* is to timber as agronomy is to row-crops
  - trees what agriculture is to crops
  - viewed as applied ecology
* responsibility and concern to all of the timber industries.

Sustainable forestry
* adds biological diversity to a forest.
* can add biological diversity to a forest.
* contributes to water quality enhancement.
* is an emerging concept for managing renewable forest resources
  - forest preservation
  - one key to achieving harmony between environment and economy
* modern concept and several definitions for it that are evolving.

Urban forestry
* can have an important productive role in urban and peri-urban areas.
* is the management of forested ecosystems dominated by human activity.
* provides healthy tree communities in urban situations.

Genetic science
* holds the keys to life itself.
* is biology

Genetics
* affects aspects
  - behavior
  - growth
* cans have effects
  - powerful effects
* explains attributes.
* has huge impact
  - roles
* involves diagnoses.
* plays big roles
  - critical roles
  - huge roles
  - important roles
  - major roles
  - pivotal roles
  - secondary roles
  - significant roles
  - vital roles
* provides evidence.
* relies on principles.

### science | biology | genetics:

Genetic change
* All genetic changes are the result of environmental adaptations.
* Any genetic changes occur very gradually, over time.
* can occur at different levels and by different mechanisms
  - randomly by mutation
  - remove that protein
* caused by environmental risks occur along sequences of DNA at highly variable rates.
* occur when there change in the gentic code.
* result of a planned breeding program.

### science | biology | genetics:

Genetic counseling
* can have a major impact on a person's life.
* can help affected adults make informed decisions about family planning
  - couples through the decisionmaking process about family planning
  - determine the probability of producing an affected offspring
  - people with questions about genetic concerns affecting their families
  - predict the risk of retinoblastoma if a family history is present
* involves more than just communicating complex medical information to families.
* is also useful for the families of affected children.
* is an expanding field in the era of genomic medicine
  - important aspect in the treatment of retinoblastoma
  - irregular calling just taking form as a profession
  - available to help determine an individual's personal risk of cancer
  - guidance
  - helpful for determining the risk for offspring in high-risk couples
  - important for all families who have affected children
* is important for families with inherited anemias
  - the disease
  - indicated in families with a known history
  - the foundation for treating patients and families with inherited conditions
  - useful for people with a family history of the disease
* relatively new health profession.
* translates scientific knowledge into practical information.

Genetic counselling
* can help to predict the occurrence for individual families
  - quantify risks for particular parents in their individual circumstances
* is complex for mitochondrial diseases
  - likely to assist in the prevention of heritable dentofacial anomalies

Genetic instability
* hallmark of cancer.
* occurs in the majority of young patients with colorectal cancer.
* refers to the ease with which malignant cells can develop additional mutations.

Genetic programming
* are computer programming.
* finds the symbolic functions that are to be applied to the inputs.
* is applied to the appearance of an image creating variations of the original.
* uses the principles of evolution to evolve 'intelligent' programs.
