In 1972 Hyatt formed Elsinore Corporation, a subsidiary to operate the Four Queens Hotel and Casino and the Hyatt Lake Tahoe. After Hyatt became a private company in 1979, Elsinore was spun off as a public company.
Cloning endangered species is much easier, mainly because the surviving animals can donate healthy, living cells. In fact, several wild species have been cloned already, including two relatives of cattle called the guar and the banteng, mouflon sheep, deer, bison, and coyotes. However, some experts are skeptical that cloning can help a species recover.
Modern genetic technology can be used to modify the genomes of living organisms. This process is also known as âgenetic engineering.â Genes of one species can be modified, or genes can be transplanted from one species to another. Genetic engineering is made possible by recombinant DNA technology.Organisms that have altered genomes are known as transgenic.Most transgenic organisms are generated in the laboratory for research purposes. For example, âknock-outâ mice are transgenic mice that have a particular gene of interest disabled.enetic engineering is made possible by recombinant DNA technology.
