Aquatic ape hypothesis

We do not have enough information to call it an Autosomal/Sex-Linked inheritance pattern. 75% are type C so it is dominant. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Using this hypothesis, predict your expected F2 Generation results. Show a Punnett square of the cross and determine the percentages of each phenotype that you expected to find. F f F FF Ff f Ff ff 75% of wild type is Dominant and 25% is recessive. Activity…

Aim - To investigate how the temperature of water affects how salt dissolves. Prediction - If the temperature is warmer, the more solute will dissolve in the solude. Variables - which variables are you going to: Independent Variable - The temperature of the water. Dependent variable - How much salt is needed to not dissolve in water. Controlled variables - The materials. How will you make it a fair test? - Using a machine to weight the salt and heat the water.…

Purpose/Rationale The purpose of this experiment is to find out what liquid out of coke, coffee or tea will stain an eggshell the most. I chose to so this project because I think that it can help people who have problems with their teeth not being clean. They may find out why their teeth are staining so bad. Coke, coffee and tea can do a bunch of damage. But in this experiment I wanted to know the exact percentage of staining that they may cause. I think that learning how much a everyday drink…

guiding principles for management. The development of flow assessment methodologies is used for prescribing environmental flow requirements. Environmental flow regimes in streams and rivers are the primary determinant of the structure and function of aquatic and riparian ecosystems (Poff et al., 1997; Hart and Finelli, 1999; Bunn and Arthington, 2002). Environmental flows are defined as the ‘quantity, timing and quality of water flows required to sustain freshwater and estuarine ecosystems and…

Spatial variability in local plankton communities can have large effects on the composition and diversity of the secondary production with in an area. Therefore, it is important for scientists to study the factors that affect plankton community’s abundance, diversity and dominance. In this study multiple physical and biological factors were observed in order to examine how surface plankton communities varied with distance from shore in the nearshore environment of the Southern California Bight.…

environments by observing invertebrate diversity in riffles and pools in a freshwater stream. It was hypothesized that differences in invertebrate diversity between riffles and pools would be due to physical factors in the environment. To test this hypothesis, invertebrates were collected from each environment and classified by their taxa, and Shannon-Simpson indices were produced from these data to analyze the differences in diversity between the two environments. It was found that pools have a…

Shark culling is a state government implemented policy in which sharks within the vicinity of a beach can be legally killed through shark nets or drumlines or a combination of the two. Drumlines are unmanned buoyant drums anchored one kilometre of a beach's shoreline. In between the drums are ropes with hooks. Drumlines are baited so that if a shark is swimming in the vicinity of a beach it would be attracted to the bait and not humans. Each state has different policies on drumlines depending on…

and grow in very more massive and dense colonies. Duckweed replicates very fast, and can almost double its mass in about 24 hours (S.N.Xiu et al, 2010). In our experiment, the causal question was what affects the growth rate of Lemna minor. The hypothesis was that water quality or nutrient availability would affect the growth rate of Lemna minor. The prediction was that water enriched with nutrients would have a higher growth rate than water without enrichment. The rationale behind this is that…

as a barrier for fish and other aquatic animals from possible predators. Some examples of edible marginal plants are, Vietnamese Mint, stonecress, and rainbow parsley. Oxygenating plants, have roots submerged in the soil, but their leaves unlike with the floating plants are completely submerged underwater. Oxygenators help keep the water clear by absorbing excess nutrients, as well as release oxygen which helps support aquatic life such as fish, and beneficial aquatic insects. Submerged plants…

The Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle is the bedrock of the EPCOR HMS. I set out a plan to spend 30 minutes each day to study the EPCOR OHSMS and to see how this system applied to the integrated management sytem. By studying the various components of the EPCOR integrated management sytem, I was able to understand hoiw the HSE corporate services provides structure to operational groups including the HSE management system. I was also able to understand how the check part of the OHSMS was necessary to…
