Introduction: Today I will be discussing the issues involving endangered species and why it is so important to me as an individual. What are endangered species? An endangered species is a population of organisms which is at risk of becoming extinct because it is either few in numbers, or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters. Did you know, 40 percent of all organisms are likely to become endangered or even extinct. Unbelievable. Causes of extinction: Endangerment and

Where did all the frogs go? Imagine years into the future from now, the newly born kids won’t even know what a frog even is, how sad would that be? No more familiar ribbit in the middle of the night. Amphibians are still very important to humans, to the ecosystem, and to predators. If the amphibians become extinct, they will be nothing but a memory. Frogs control pests like flies, mosquitoes, and other insects that have the capability of carrying a disease. If a mosquito is carrying

BIO 154 Writing Assignment #4 Assisted migration is a conservation approach taken in an attempt to thwart the climate-induced extinction of the endemic Florida Torreya. Since the translocation of the Florida Torreya is easy, legal and cheap (McLachlan et al, 297), the convenience of this assisted migration raises concerns of its potential unintended consequences. In order to address those concerns, a scientifically based policy should be formulated. The article mentions 3 positions that explain

use notebook for recording cross time period information. Within the computer, I will be using a Java-based tool simulation, named Evolution Lab that will run the experiment and demonstrate the results. This will be the most important material for this experiment. Procedures First, this experiment takes place on a computer simulation called Evolution Lab. The Evolution lab can be accessed through the University of Phoenix web portal for students and faculty members. Upon access to the simulation

The theory of evolution, formalized by Charles Darwin, is as much theory as is the theory of gravity, or the theory of relativity. Unlike theories of physics, biological theories, and especially evolution, have been argued long and hard in socio-political arenas. Even today, evolution is not often taught in primary schools. However, evolution is the binding force of all biological research. It is the unifying theme. In paleontology, evolution gives workers a powerful way to organize the remains of

CheckPoint: Theories of Biology Charles Darwin first came up with the theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. Darwin’s theorized that there was a scientific explanation for why there are so many different types of creatures and animals. The main part of the theory of Evolution by natural selection is that all animals change over time. Darwin’s theory was that over the generations all species will slowly evolve, or change, to better be suited for their environment. Over time the said species

Questions and Answers If You Are in Favor of Genetics in the Courtroom… Question 1: Why do you think that evidence of a defendant's genetic makeup should be allowed in a courtroom? Do you think that a person with genes that make him or her aggressive and unable to control his or her impulses is "less guilty" than someone who commits the same crime but has a normal set of genes? Yes but only if the behavioral genetic mutation has been peer reviewed by other medical scientists and there has

The idea of saving endangered species of animals is discussed time and time again in the media and environmental politics. There are countless organizations that work to protect certain species from going extinct. Except perhaps by extremists on online forums, the general population of Earth tends to agree that there are species of animals worth saving from extinction. The topic is virtually indisputable. However, what may be debatable is the reasoning behind the environmental cause. On many organizations’

The beginning of the earth has been a mystery, boggling the minds of the erudite and the simple minded alike for years. The topic of creation vs. evolution has become increasingly controversial. In biology, Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is a change in the genetic material of a population of organisms from one generation to the next. Though changes produced in any one generation are normally small, differences accumulate with each generation and can, over time, become substantial changes in the population
