vertebrate using variation in muscle proteins of different genera; Ostreidae , Teuthida, Pectinidae, Nephropidae, Caridea, Brachyura and Oncorhynchus. Introduction The fundamental core of all biology emanates from evolution, as the great evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky once said "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution"(1973). Therefore, studying the phylogenetic relationships of different organisms offers numerous advantages that go well beyond those of just…
Around the world, a theory of evolution by natural selection is supported by many scientists. Charles Darwin was one of the scientists who have create the most famous theory of natural selection. The theory of evolution by natural selection says that animals change in each generation because of natural selection. Natural selection is when animals can survive more easily because of their features, such as, colour, ear shape, and digestion. Over time, the animals that can survive are the ones that…
anthropology has become a vital component of biological anthropology thus aiding in the concentration on human evolution, growth and development, and human adaptation. Additional fields include forensic anthropologist, which study the skeletal biology to assist in the identification and analysis of more recently deceased individuals. Primatologist study monkeys and apes, using this to better understand the features that make each group…
living being, and posterity can acquire such changes. For the duration of the lives of the people, their genomes communicate with their surroundings to cause varieties in qualities. The earth of a genome incorporates the atomic science in the cell, different cells, different people, populaces, species, and additionally the abiotic condition. People with specific variations of the quality may survive and replicate more than people with other, less fruitful, variations; along these lines, the…
Sea Otters Enhydra Lutris, also known as sea otters are the heaviest members of the weasel family and the second smallest marine mammals (Basic Facts About Sea Otters). Sea otters make up four different types of species: Enhydra (sea otter), Pteronua (giant otters), Aonyx (clawless otters), and Lutra (river otters) (Seaworld). Sea otters are not found just anywhere in the world. Most sea otters are found in coastal areas and islands of eastern and western North Pacific Ocean such as California,…
Biology is more complex than we might assume from an initial, superficial view of its many manifestations. When I began researching Red-Eyed Vireo population, my first impression was that the project would be creating a simple model. With an increase in temperature and less rain, there should be a lower population of species. My research advisor Dr. Church had me read numerous scientific articles about ecological niche modeling of other species and the factors use to create these models. As I…
Organ donor myths How would you feel if you had to wait for something you really needed in order to survive? Imagine if you needed an organ transplant but couldn’t find a donor? According to organdonor.gov “each day about 79 people receive organ transplants. However, 18 people die each day waiting for transplants that can’t take place because of the shortage of donated organs.” For many years, myths and misconceptions have prevented people from signing up as donors. Today I’m going to clarify…
The study of anatomy and physiology. Anatomy is the scientific term for the study of the body structure and physiology is the term for the study of the function of the body’s organs. During the class, we dissected a pig. We did it to compare the human body and its organ systems with the pig body because they are similar in function. We defined each system and the organs that belong to each one. In anatomy and physiology class we learn about the human body and its composition. To see and learn…
Biosociality can be defined as the formation of social relationships and the production of identity based genetic or biological conditions (Rabinow, 1996). In other words, people are characterized based on a mixture of their gender, ethnicity, hair color, and other unique features. This includes individuals with disabilities, illnesses and rare physical conditions. A great example depicting biosociality is when the smallpox virus was at its peak. Due to the contagiousness of the virus,…
There are various sectors that impact prosperity in today's overall population. With the world's population growing at a faster rate than ever before seen, health specialists have a full workload trying to maintain well-being among them. To understand and decipher the fight against disease, specialists have set up a triangle to enhance, comprehend, and improve the battle against these well-being issues. The three corners or vertices are operator, host, and environment. All corners are similarly…
