Sabrina Wu 7/9/15 Biology Ability to Perceive Through Time Biology Summer Assignment Precognition is the gain of knowledge obtained through extrasensory means. The majority of precognitive experiences come from extrasensory perception (ESP), also known as the sixth sense. ESP uses methods such as card reading and dreams. It can also be experienced through trance, channeling, and mediumship. Trace and mediumship are forms of spirit communication. A person in trance condition is when a spirit…

Both of the works depict her life in different events, in fact, they all express the same feeling of the author about how everyone in Antigua lives under the shadow of the colonial rules. In Biology of a Dress, comparing the relationship of the mother and daughter to the relationship of Europe and Antigua is the relationship between powerful and powerless. In another words, the mother is powerful and the girl is powerless. In this story, the…

A discourse community includes individuals who share common values and ideas, work to accomplish the same goals, and communicate using their own terminology. Biology is a natural science based on critical thinking and continuous research of new hypotheses, therefore effective communication is a key characteristic. The members of this discourse community are constantly sharing their ideas and new discoveries. As being part of this discourse community, communication with others using scientific…

The next topic a student should be schooled in is cells and cellular biology. While cells are the building blocks of all living organism, scientists have confirmed that there are actually different types of cells depending on the organism. The two main classes of organisms are the prokaryotes and the eukaryotes. The prokaryotic is the simpler of the two and are the one-celled organisms such as bacteria and archaea. The interior of a prokaryotic cell consists of a main nucleoid, which contains…

Previous sections of Biology 1209 went to the LSU lakes and collected samples from various locations including the Campus Lakes. From these samples we measured the chlorophyll levels and nitrate concentration. First, a chlorophyll determination test was done using a Buncher funnel…

Sexual dimorphism refers to a species distinct differences between the sexes resulting in distinct male and female forms. This is the sexual selection, adaptive changes in males and females often due to male competition and female selectivity. (Biology, Sylvia s mader and Michael winderlspecht pg 297 - 298). Usually this is the result of phenotype selection but, this is tied in with the selection of genotypes. Size and colorations of features in a mate may indicate features that are not readily…

Biology Antibiotics Assignment Introduction Bacteria are microscopic prokaryotic cells, they are very common and are found in every habitat on earth (Introducing Microbes, n.d.). There are many harmless bacteria however bacteria are the cause of many diseases including salmonella, pneumonia and meningitis (Cynthia Haines,2013). To combat these diseases caused by bacteria in 1928 Alexander Discovered the first antibiotic, it was used to treat soldiers in ww2 with infections which could…

In “The Biology of Schizophrenia,” the author goes into saying that there is a reason we are susceptible to schizophrenia and that it is our prolonged childhood. “Obviously, the fact that immaturity are relatively weak in man as compared with those of lower animals…

in the classroom and while shadowing a physician. While these two types of learning are very different, they both are vital aspects of having a holistic education in the biological sciences. Through my major in Cell Biology and Neuroscience, I have also been able to build on my biology foundation by delving more deeply into neuroscience, the facet of the life sciences that most interests me. I also have had hands-on experience working at the cellular level in my laboratory and have developed a…

An insight into the methods of Conservation Genetics Understanding the need to use genetic methods in conservation biology will greatly aid in the process of bringing back any species that play an important role in their native habitat. Implementing genetic tools and methods in conservation programs helps to minimize the loss of genetic diversity, which allows populations to adapt to environmental changes and stressors. This helps to minimize the loss of the population numbers by reducing the…
