most of these beliefs cannot be proven. The study of biology is based upon facts and hypotheses that can be tested and supported. Without biology it would be difficult to understand the beauty of life, and how living organisms are created and how the basic metabolic processes help organisms survive. Biology is one of the most important human endeavors since it provides humans with the hard…

The scientific community has come very far and reached a point in scientific breakthroughs that cloning and bioengineering can help with the advancement in the quality of human life. This process of cloning and bioengineering will help the human race as a whole through the benefits and advancements that follow due to the outcomes of this practice. Cloning and bioengineering should be used due to the benefits in the medical field, the advancements in crop and animal yield, and gives the…

Understand how even the difference of fur color can increase or decrease the chances of an organisms livelihood. ENGAGEMENT I would capture the students interest by starting out with showing the class a video on evolution and then ask them questions like “Why did the fox with the brown fur survive better in the forest than the fox with the white…

improved. Baldwin notes that this offers a, “serious biological challenge to the design argument” (Baldwin 111). Paley’s theory of design does not leave room for the possibility of outside attributes besides the creator directing the appearance of an organism. For this reason he defends his position by invoking the argument from…

The mechanisms of evolution are mutation, gene flow, genetic drift and natural selection. These mechanisms are based upon the changes that occur within an organism’s gene pool and how they affect those organisms and their survivability. Some of these mechanisms of evolution move quickly and affect large populations while others are slow moving and affect small populations. Not all of the evolutionary mechanisms are positive and benefit the population’s long term survival. Commonly these negative…

in human developmental research. Lastly, the ribosomes are the basic necessity to the process of protein synthesis. 2. Meiosis is a process where specialized cells split and evolve, becoming sperm or egg cells. It occurs in sexually reproducing organisms. Also, recombination occurs with the pairing of homologous chromosomes in an exchange of genetic information. 3. Homozygous and heterozygous both have something in common which is that…

This article caught my eye in the first place because it reminded me of the apple magot fly simpatric speciation that we have studied and understood quite clearly in class. My first response to the whole simpatric and allopatric speciation was clear and it seemed to me that the apple maggot fly speciaton proved this concept. However simpatric speciation with the jays are considerably more unexplanitory, complicated, and as the article indicates, "weird". Katie Langin is the biologist in this…

To start, evolution is, from the lecture Evolutionary Biology: All things great from small, the transformation of animals, plants, and other living organisms into different forms by the accumulation of changes over successive generations (OED). Based on Darwin’s argument, it has been taught that natural selection is known for the causes of evolution because natural selection is the process of which the environment favor the species with favorable traits that will help them survive. Scientists…

include the biotic and abiotic components that are present around us. Biotic components include the microbes, plants and animals and abiotics are soil, water and air [1]. Biotechnology is the integration of technology and natural sciences by utilizing organisms and cells, to produce knowledge, services and products [2]. Environmental biotechnology refers to the application of biotechnology which is used for finding a way to solve the problems related to environment, in both conditions like in…

In the insect world there are a plethora of fascinating creatures fulfilling their own specific ecological niches all across the various ecosystems of this planet. Among these, you may have observed flies of metallic luster, colored blue or green or black, near garbage, filth, rotting meat, or even flowers that possess a pungent smell. These cosmopolitan Blowflies, belonging to order Diptera and family Calliphoridae, may seem filthy (and they actually are), yet they are actually quite useful.…
