Palomar offers over 300 associate degree, certificate programs and is designated by the U.S. Department of Education as an Hispanic-Serving Institution ...
A measure of all of the harmful recessive alleles in a population or family line. A high genetic load would be one in which there is a high frequency of deleterious recessive alleles.

A group of similar life threatening diseases found mostly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Malaria is caused by any of four different microorganisms called plasmodia (Plasmodium falciparum, vivax, ovale, and malariae). These single-celled organisms are transmitted from person to person mostly by anopheles mosquitoes as they extract blood. Symptoms of malaria include chills, high fever, and sometimes fatal irregularities of the brain, liver, kidney, and/or blood. There are at least 100,000,000 new cases of malaria reported annually around the world. Approximately 1,500,000 people die from it each year (mostly children--3,000 children die of malaria every day).

A rust red iron ore that was ground to a powder state and used as a paint pigment, beginning with the Neandertals and early modern humans.
Industry:Anthropology
A dramatic reduction in genetic diversity of a population or species resulting from an ecological crisis that wipes out most of its members. The limited genetic diversity of the few survivors is the pool from which all future generations are based. This is one of the small population size effects.
Industry:Anthropology
A long, period of warmer conditions between glacials when the earth's glaciers have shrunk to a smaller area. Interglacials during the Pleistocene Epoch lasted 10's of thousands of years. We are probably in an interglacial at present.
Industry:Anthropology
A genetic pattern in which an individual has two distinct cell groupings--one with normal cells and another with a genetic problem. For instance, some people with Down syndrome produce both normal somatic cells and cells with an extra.

Una neumonía-como acumulación de líquido y la hinchazón en los pulmones. Como edema cerebral, puede ser causada por hipoxia a gran altitud. Mientras que el edema pulmonar es potencialmente peligrosa para la vida, generalmente es menos probable que el edema cerebral a ocasionar la muerte si se trata a tiempo.
Industry:Anthropology
Un grupo más o menos diferenciado de individuos dentro de una especie que están reproductivamente aislados de otros grupos. En otras palabras, restringen su selección de mate a los miembros de su propia población. Esto suele ser debido a barreras geográficas o sociales a aparearse con los forasteros. Los miembros de una pequeña población aislada completamente tienden a tener características genéticas similares debido a generaciones de endogamia.
Industry:Anthropology
Un largo período de tiempo durante el cual el clima de la tierra se enfría, causando la expansión de los glaciares fuera de los polos y el cubrimiento de vastas zonas de montañas. Los glaciales de la época del Pleistoceno se produjeron principalmente en el hemisferio norte. Véase interglacial.
Industry:Anthropology
Un método de datación relativo basado en la asociación de los primeros asentamientos humanos con el cambio de características de la tierra, como el avance y el retroceso de los glaciares o el aumento y disminución del nivel del mar. Cuando estos eventos están bien fechados, la Geocronología podría considerarse una técnica confiable de datación relativa calibrada. Pruebas asociadas pueden ser cambios en la frecuencia de especies de plantas, medidas por el polen y otros tipos de pruebas de Paleoecología.
