Coral Fossils Coral fossils allow us to follow the earth’s history and understand what really happened all those years before man was created. Corals are part of a group of animals called Cnidaria. Cnidaria includes animals such as sea anemones, jellyfish, and hydras. These animals have tentacles or multiple arms that allow them to grab food floating around them. These corals have stinging tentacles. Scientists study many cnidarian fossils because there is an abundance of fossil records. These

Abstract: - The phylogenetic trees signify the association between a group of species, DNA or protein sequences, and play essential roles in genetic heredity research. The soaring excellence tree edifice relies deeply on most favourable multiple sequence alignment (MSA), which supports more sequence simultaneously to derive the similarity. The alternatively, a superior tree be able to used to guide the MSA process. In this work,to construct the phylogenetic tree using MAFFT. Here to construct the

Thinking and believing are separate in religion and science. "Inherit the Wind", by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, details a trial surrounding a teacher, Bertram Cates, who taught Darwinism over Creationism. Matthew Brady was hired to represent the state, and Henry Drummond was hired to defend Cates. Brady centers life around religion and uses the Bible to build his case. Drummond believes the state wants to control education. The trial concludes with Drummond using Brady's own thinking against

Earth has been changing since the beginning of time. Theories like continental drift, plate tectonics, and sea-floor spreading explain what the earth used to look like and why it looks like it does today. Continental drift states that all the continents used to all be one supercontinent called Pangaea, and over the last 200 million years, the continents slowly drifted apart to where they are now (Evers 1). The theory of tectonic plates states that all the continents and oceans sit on plates or large

A few scientists came up with a theory that people and chimpanzees evolved from a common ancestor from a large number of years back. Due to this hypothesis, I predicted that the chimpanzee blood proteins would be the most similar to the human blood proteins. Three other vertebrates, the frog, cow, and monkey were included in this investigation. With a specific goal to test for similarities in different blood proteins, the Nutall Precipitation technique was used. By using this technique, my group

Pacific gray whales have been going extinct for a while, not only these gray whales, but pacific whale and Atlantic gray whales have been going extinct.Scientist have been keeping their minds open to the idea of crossbreeding this species together. And with newly found research on their migration patterns they have some new progress. Scientist are always trying to save endangered species that are dying from human causes or just the species own genetic diversity.The pacific whales and their other

Species Profile of the Canada goose (Branta canadensis) I. Introduction -Why I choose this organism? I choose the Canada goose (Branta canadensis) because it was one of the specie that I didn’t know too much about it and encounter this specie really fascinating over all. Over the two years I have been working on Fort Belvoir I had discovered that this species is protected and by doing this presentation I had plan to discover why and what is the story behind this. In this presentation I will try

Biological Debridement Biological debridement is a procedure where a doctor suggest the use of living organisms to remove dead tissue so the healing process of the wound can begin. The living organisms are live blow fly larvae (maggots). The maggots are sterile and have been disinfected in a controlled lab. Biological debridement has been around for many years. William Baer was one of the first in the northern hemisphere to deliberately administer larvae to a patients wound. In the 1920s he

Conclusion To conclude, black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) demonstrated an improved long-term reproductive success until a disproportionate ratio of helpers to breeders (exceeding amount of helpers to breeders) became injurious to the coterie. Our results demonstrated, to some extent, that the helper pool size improves long-term reproductive success of black-tailed prairie dogs, agreeing with Hoogland’s 1981. Our results resolve the conflict between John L. Hoogland and Michener and

Up until the 1920’s science and religion worked in harmony. Everything that science had to say worked upon the beliefs of traditional religious standards. Darwin, a famous scientist, introduced the idea of evolution which completely shook the Christians society. This split the people up into two main groups, traditionalists and modernists. The two sides even went to court over the debacle, the trial was called, the Scopes Trial. At the end of the day, what is the difference between the two divisions
