ISSUES RELATED TO GENRTIC DIVERSITY The field of genetics and especially genetic engineering has become important in our daily lives, not just for its ability to clone both organisms and plants, but for its uses in fighting disease. Genetic diversity is important for the survival and adaptability of any species. A species with high genetic diversity is more likely to survive environmental changes as well as diseases. Only recently have scientists found an allele in type two diabetes

explains the past by appealing to known laws and principles acting in a gradual, uniform way through past ages. The young earth theory is more believable than the old earth theory scientists to me, because in proving their theory of the earth existence, and catastrophes events, of floods, fossils, etc... They will pull examples out of context in order to prove their theory. I can see and understand their logic of catastrophic events did take place but we really don’t know what any particular events

"Conservation biology - The science concerned with preserving biodiversity Threatened species - Species that are at risk for extinction; various threat levels have been identified ranging from "least concern" to "extinct." Keystone species - A species that impacts its community more than its mere abundance would predict Single-species approach - A conservation strategy that focuses on protecting on particular species Flagship species - The focus of public awareness campaigns aimed at

cruelest corruption of Darwin’s theories” in the Carrie Buck story is due to Carrie’s genetic makeup she will not survive because her genetic makeup is not going to allow her to compete with people with better genetic makeup. As a result, it is advantageous to sterilize Carrie and others like her to prevent reproduction of their offspring, in fear that their incompetence will cost the state money due to execution and the breeding of additional unfit. Nonetheless, the state theory, did not consider the influence

A Day in the Life of a Bug A day in the life of a bug is good. They walk around eating leaves and branches. This of course is a good diet and is what keeps them alive in their small size. Another thing that keeps the species alive is their sheer numbers. Most species of bugs live in swarms. These swarms on average in size can grow up to 10 million bugs. A day in the life of a bug is good. They walk around eating leaves and branches. This of course is a good diet and is what keeps them alive

environment. It examines the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution of living organisms because life is organized in a hierarchical manner from atoms to molecules and then to organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, and biosphere. I find the four major unifying principles formed as the foundation of biology, namely the cell structures, the evolution of living organisms, genetics, meiosis, and homeostasis to be

studied by Endler into areas with a similar decrease in predation to the Classic Aripo experiment (1980) in order to compare the path of evolution between them. Initially, the researchers noted that the “starting point” of the two populations differed in that there was limited evolution at the control site for El Cedro over 29 years which contrasts with the marked evolution of the El Cedro introduction population in 2-3 years. After cross-examining the two introductory populations, the researchers showed

people' s way of recording their goods. From that simple use of writing it has evolved to be used as a new way of expressing something and interpreting symbols. As time evolves, the context and knowledge of man on writing also evolved. Though its evolution did not happen only for a short time, but it has leave a great impact on the civilization and to the life of people exposed to writing. Just as people learn to write they also learn to comprehend the symbols and characters they have seen, and so
