in all four tested sites. Fragments that were tested to have large amount of tissues or complete absence of coral bleaching are then attached to coral reefs within the same finding areas using plastic cables which allows for the process of asexual reproduction. This method of restoration is highlighted for its natural environment uses which may not endanger other species of corals within the area. Previous methods of restoration involves the process of donating healthy corals for other locations…
Some people may argue that an all-female society would be their idea of an utopia. Personally, I do not agree with these people as I cannot see only having women as my idea of paradise. However, the idea of an all-female society is not universal, and different authors have taken on this idea with different backgrounds, in different time periods and genres, which make these societies hard to fully dictate whether or not a person would like to live in one. One story that describes a society…
HUMAN CLONING: PROS AND CONS OF REPRODUCTIVE CLONING Cloning is the process of creating identical cells, genes, organs or even organisms through asexual reproduction. It has been a common practice of mankind for a long time. It has becomes the debatable issue since it was used to clone animals around 40-50 years ago. Human cloning has created an offense toward ethical issue of human right. According to Yadav and Sharma (2011), the person who promoted human cloning must convince others and show…
Drosera than the origin of species ... it is a wonderful plant, or rather a most sagacious animal. I will stick up for Drosera to the day of my death.” The Venus flytrap reproduces by means of sexual and asexual reproduction. The insectivorous plant undergoes pollination during sexual reproduction, while it asexually reproduces by spreading its rhizomes. Venus Flytraps blossom and produce flowers far beyond the reach of the trapping…
members of certain scientific field or among people discussing everyday topics. Cloning, the result of a genetic copy of parent organism is not a novelty. In fact, it has been present for many years if we are speaking of cloning as a form of asexual reproduction, which occurs in plants. As such, it is not considered immoral and has help us greatly and ensured our survival. In the mid-1990s, more precisely 1996, first mammal, a sheep, was successfully cloned. Due to already mentioned unceasing…
Cloning is a controversial topic which lies in the morals of the people, the decision to make a mini replica of a preexisting thing in a lab causes a range of reactions. Cloning is considered a type of asexual reproduction, which consists of reproducing DNA. My fascination with human cloning started in sixth grade because of a Novel by Nancy Farmer called The House of the Scorpion, the story is about a young boy who was isolated much of his younger life by a drug lord which is the original copy…
The two types of bacteria are archaebacteria and eubacteria. What characteristics distinguish these two groups from the other kingdoms? These two groups are different from other kingdoms because all cells in these kingdoms are single-celled organisms whose organelles are not membrane bounds. They are also microscopically small. What is the average size of a bacterium? An average bacterium is about 1-2 micrometres long. How many prokaryote species have been discovered? How many are estimated to…
Classification Escherichia coli is a bacterium that is mostly found in humans and other animals. It is a unicellular micro-organism, making its Domain and Kingdom Bacteria. E. coli’s Phylum is Proteobacteria because it is a gram-negative bacterium. It is also in the Phylum Proteobacteria because of the lipopolysaccharides that protect the cell membrane. E. coli is a facultative anaerobic G- bacterium, making its Class Gamma Proteobacteria. Because of its rod-shape, E. coli’s Order is…
When dog owners identify an interesting trait in a dog, Some owners would breed that in hope that the trait would be passed on. After many times of this situation happening, (especially where two dogs with the same trait are bred with each other) traits become fixed. If you can understand the genetics, you can start to predict on what you will see in a crossbreed. As of now there are over four hundred breeds of dogs and all are maintained as pure-bred stocks through selective breeding, which…
It can not be determined that ammonium sulfate can be used to find the LC50 of Daphnia Magna. In every trial, there was no data that was consistent or logical to be used to determine an accurate LC50. The LC50 is the point at which the concentration of a pollutant is lethal to 50% of the organisms. Static toxicity tests occur when the aquatic organisms are exposed to the same pollutant concentration for the duration of the test. The data in the first two trials had mostly 100% death rates…
