Cladistics

Cladistics (from Greek κλάδος, cládos, i.e., "branch") is an approach to biological classification in which organisms are categorized in groups ("clades") based on the most recent common ancestor.

Domestication

Domestication is a sustained multi-generational relationship in which one group of organisms assumes a significant degree of influence over the reproduction and care of another group to secure a more predictable supply of resources from that second group.

Evolution

Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.

New!!: Bombyx mandarina and Evolution · See more »

Extinction

In biology, extinction is the termination of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon), normally a species.

New!!: Bombyx mandarina and Extinction · See more »

Family (biology)

In biological classification, family (familia, plural familiae) is one of the eight major taxonomic ranks; it is classified between order and genus.

Frederic Moore

Frederic Moore FZS (13 May 1830 – 10 May 1907) was a British entomologist.

Genus

A genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms, as well as viruses, in biology.

New!!: Bombyx mandarina and Genus · See more »

Hybrid (biology)

In biology, a hybrid, or crossbreed, is the result of combining the qualities of two organisms of different breeds, varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction.

Japan

Japan (日本; Nippon or Nihon; formally 日本国 or Nihon-koku, lit. "State of Japan") is a sovereign island country in East Asia.

Karyotype

A karyotype is the number and appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.

New!!: Bombyx mandarina and Karyotype · See more »

Korea

Korea is a region in East Asia; since 1945 it has been divided into two distinctive sovereign states: North Korea and South Korea.

Lepidoptera

Lepidoptera is an order of insects that includes butterflies and moths (both are called lepidopterans).

New!!: Bombyx mandarina and Lepidoptera · See more »

Mitochondrial DNA

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA or mDNA) is the DNA located in mitochondria, cellular organelles within eukaryotic cells that convert chemical energy from food into a form that cells can use, adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

New!!: Bombyx mandarina and Mitochondrial DNA · See more »

Molecular clock

The molecular clock is a technique that uses the mutation rate of biomolecules to deduce the time in prehistory when two or more life forms diverged.

New!!: Bombyx mandarina and Molecular clock · See more »

Molecular phylogenetics

Molecular phylogenetics is the branch of phylogeny that analyzes genetic, hereditary molecular differences, predominately in DNA sequences, to gain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships.

Moth

Moths comprise a group of insects related to butterflies, belonging to the order Lepidoptera.

New!!: Bombyx mandarina and Moth · See more »

Neolithic

The Neolithic was a period in the development of human technology, beginning about 10,200 BC, according to the ASPRO chronology, in some parts of Western Asia, and later in other parts of the world and ending between 4500 and 2000 BC.

Pheromone

A pheromone (from Ancient Greek φέρω phero "to bear" and hormone, from Ancient Greek ὁρμή "impetus") is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species.

Range (biology)

In biology, the range of a species is the geographical area within which that species can be found.

New!!: Bombyx mandarina and Range (biology) · See more »

Reproductive isolation

The mechanisms of reproductive isolation are a collection of evolutionary mechanisms, behaviors and physiological processes critical for speciation.

New!!: Bombyx mandarina and Reproductive isolation · See more »

Selective breeding

Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together.

Species

In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank, as well as a unit of biodiversity, but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition.

New!!: Bombyx mandarina and Species · See more »

Subspecies

In biological classification, the term subspecies refers to a unity of populations of a species living in a subdivision of the species’s global range and varies from other populations of the same species by morphological characteristics.

New!!: Bombyx mandarina and Subspecies · See more »

Taxon

In biology, a taxon (plural taxa; back-formation from taxonomy) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit.

Wild silk

Wild silks have been known and used in many countries from early times, although the scale of production is far smaller than that from cultivated silkworms.
