That biological clock keeps on ticking From: Resource | Date: December 1, 1998| Author: Anonymous | Copyright American Society of Agricultural Engineers Dec 1998. Provided by ProQuest LLC.Copyright information

Temperature may be a cue for setting the biological clocks that govern the daily ebb and flow of activity in most animals and plants, Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) geneticists have found.

Their work advances understanding of how internal clocks keep time over the wide range of environmental conditions living things encounter.

Biological clocks are the cellular basis of the circadian rhythm - the 24-hour light/ dark cycle that times behavior and metabolism for most organisms i...
