“Biological Diversity” means the (a) variability among living organisms from all sources including, among others, terrestrial, sea and other fresh water ecosystems, and the ecological complexes of which they are part; it includes diversity within species between species, and of ecosystems. Literal meaning of biodiversity is the (b) diversity of all life forms on earth. This includes the various races and species of all micro-organisms, plants, and animals that live on earth, including their genetic

My Obituary Samuel Ding 丁晓旭 31311461 It’s time to talk about my whole life after all settled. To those who hate or love me, thank you all that brought me a tough but wonderful life. At this moment, someone would say “Great! This god dam Virgo is finally dead”. Yes, I agree, but I wouldn’t apologize, even now as a ghost. Furthermore, I’d like to say “Guys, I was not just a Virgo, I was a Virgo with type A blood, obsession and perfectness was in my gene.” Perfectionist was my title since school

You decide BIO 101 You Decide With people getting more and more antibiotics it is only certain that some of those bacteria’s or diseases are going to evolve and become resistant as all things in life have. All the research done by scientist over the decades have come up with good and efficient way to beat them but at some point some just adapt. With those antibiotic-resistant drugs scientist will have to find effective way to beat or trick these bacteria’s or diseases. All the studies done

research about fossils of dinosaurs. We reach a new milestone about evolution. This evolutionary breakthrough will help us to farther understand the connection between dinosaurs and birds. The scientist can create a hybrid birds that came from genetics of dinosaurs. Once we created a hybrid birds we can create more and more hybrid animals. From my own perception we must keep on studying evolution until we find more answers about evolution of genetics. Youth serum for real? Youth serum is a fountain

Lesson 3 essay questions Exam # 25085400 1. Directional and disruptive selection can be compared because they both favor extreme phenotypes, they adjust to their environments over time and they both cause a shift in the distribution curve. The contrast in directional selection is the distribution curve shifts one way and only focuses on one extreme phenotype. An example of directional selection would be the gradual increase in size of the modern horse. This change occurred due to the environment

Answer the following questions as you proceed through the activity slides. 1. Briefly explain how scientists draw relationships between organisms based on shared anatomical features. The more anatomical features organisms share the more likely they are to be closely related. 2. How are DNA sequences used to deduce evolutionary relationships? Scientists look for similarities and differences in the dna sequences to determine relationships. 3. What is one advantage of building phylogenetic

Debate Evolution Dinosaurs why extinct? The world was very different when the dinosaurs were alive — it was much hotter and wetter. Over time, the world changed and it became harder for dinosaurs to survive. Some scientists believe that an asteroid (a large rock from space) may have hit the earth in the time of the dinosaurs, causing the temperature to drop sudq denly. When big changes like this happen, some creatures are well suited to survive, and others aren’t. Creatures that are not well suited

areas thrushes feed mainly on a snail with dark shells with no light bands. In the forests they feed on snails with light band shells. These two different phenotypes each adapted to its environment. They are similar because they both lead to the evolution of a species to have certain traits. When given antibiotics some bacteria may be able to survive. Therefore the ones that survive can withstand the effects of the antibiotics. So if they are able to reproduce inside the person’s body (if a patient

This is a question any sane mind is probably asking themselves and are struggling to find solutions to the RELIGION/CULTURE wars that are being fought. Do you think if we can find the problem, the root problem in terms of behavioral patterns and evolution is found, we can some how move on to the next conflict? i think so.......for me human's with their ability to think also have the need to be in control and to be the cause of having more. For eg. lets look at animals... across all species the one
