organism that lives and receives its nutrients by decomposing the organic material in its surroundings. This species is easy to use throughout laboratory tests because of their quick generation times, implementing the use of budding as a form of asexual reproduction. The naked eye can easily view the colonies that these yeast cells form, and carefully count them to determine the growth. The goal of the mutagenesis experiment is to observe the effect that a UV light will have on a culture of…
There are some types of natural cloning, those of nature displays. Some animals have massive powers of regeneration. If the body of certain starfish is cut up into its five arms, each arm will regenerate a complete individual. Another type of asexual reproduction found in all animals as well as in human beings is the formation of identical twins, triplets, and so on. Identical twins create a clone. The growth of a tumor in the body of an individual twin is, in effect, the formation of a clone of…
For the follower of King Messiah there comes some many forthright questions which need to be answered in the regards of revelation of the Bible, how the Bible was inspired,and what is the authority of the Bible. In other words: is the Bible speaking to me? How do I know the Bible is not just another document? Why should this old book have authority over me? These are valid questions which many believers today take for granted. Yet, the importance of these questions infect the life of the…
Introduction Marine invertebrates in the class Anthozoa are known as Corals. These diverse organisms give quite a show in the shallow clear parts of the ocean. Corals live closely together in groups expressing their bright colors that stand out so nicely. Many people consider coral reefs to be very diverse and productive than anything on land. Their skeleton is made out of calcium carbonate protecting them from future encounters with predators. Many more coral polyps then can attach themselves…
Sexuality is more than just sexual activity. It is a part of what makes us human and it is anything that constructs sexual feelings. Unfortunately, individuals are restrained from expressing and embracing such art. Certainly, there are expectations imposed on society as individuals are caged up trying to live up to such conservative expectations and traditions of purity and heterogeneity (Kilgore and Ranu 359). Therefore, sexuality is influenced by various aspects in our life from past to…
Hawai’i is known as the endangered species capital of the world with the largest number of endangered species per square mile than any other place on Earth (Meditz et al., 2013). Hawai’i is called this because of an invasive algae called Gracilaria salicornia, or gorilla ogo. Studies on Gracilaria salicornia provide background information of on the specific algae. Current research also analyzes the ecology of the algae, along with how the algae affects Hawaii's economy. Additional research…
The Permian Mass Extinction Introduction There are five major extinctions in history: the Late Devonian, the Ordovician-Silurian, the Permian-Triassic, the Triassic-Jurassic, and the Cretaceous-Tertiary. Known as the Big Five, these extinctions exceeded all others in size and destruction, each killing more than 60% of species from that period. Each one acted as a bottleneck, allowing the survival of only a fraction of the organisms that had been thriving before, from which evolution and life…
