1. Is autism caused by vaccination? Despite the wide spread belief, Autism is not caused by vaccination, there is no trustworthy evidence that the vaccines today cause Autism. The person who originally came to this assumption was proven to be fraudulent, which basically means he was a sham, this lie he created caused him to lose his authenticity and medical license. However, even though the claim brought to the public was fake, people still have their doubts, simply because someone introduced…

Part E (Identify the apex predator/s) In the movie ‘Finding Nemo’, the creators payed close attention to detail regarding how the food webs are formed in ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef. At the top of the food web are the apex predators: the predators that aren’t prey to any other organism. These animals in the foo web that I have created are the Anglerfish, Great White Shark, and Barracuda. In reality, there are other animals that would probably eat these animals, but in my food web, they…

The brave new world book was written by Aldous Huxley where he created and illustrated a fictional world that everyone is cloned, classified since birth into Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon. In Huxely's argument, In that society, humans are genetically reproduced and are conditioned to serve a ruling order. In this society disease, poverty, and suffering has disappeared from Earth. The different types of people of the book have similarities and differences compared to our present society.…

. The four forces of evolution are mutations, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. Mutations are changes in genes that make us who we are today. Mutations, although they are changes in our genetic code, are most of the time harmless and essential to evolution. Mutations can be either advantageous, deleterious, or neutral depending on what the environment of the living organism is (class lecture, Wednesday). The next force of evolution is natural selection which is the idea that…

I plan to major in the field of Biology for the purpose of studying the natural phenomenon of life and applying this knowledge to advance the field of medicine. Ever since I took Biology, I have had an unhindered fascination with genetics and evolution because just as the title of a Richard Dawkins book indicates, evolution is “The Greatest Show on Earth” and…

Natural Selection and Sexual Selection This world is colored by diverse species. Some of them persist but others distinct. It is natural and sexual selections that result in incredible difference. Both are leading to a process of evolution while there still exist differences between two selections. “In mammalian males, sexual selection can have a great effect on behavior and morphology than other forms of natural selection because male reproductive success usually varies much more than female…

The four forces of evolution include mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection. Mutation occurs when the base pairs in DNA change which leads to different codons being read during translation. Most mutations create codons for the same amino acid that the normal codon would have made but sometimes a different amino acid is made and that leads to changes in the organism's phenotype. Gene flow happens when two different populations come together and reproduce with each other. The…

has made. He was an important person to our history. Even though Robert Hooke was a philosopher, architect, experimenter, etc. He also had an interesting life before he became known to science. He discovered many different things, and has affected biology and how we see things in a different way. Robert Hooke was born in England on July 28, 1635. Robert Hooke then died on march 3, 1703. Robert Hooke was never married and didn't have any kids. Roberts dad´s name was Jon Hooke. Hooke had no…

Amenze Oronsaye Growing up, I’ve always pictured having a family of my own. I would live in a big house with my husband and four amazing kids, two boys and two girls to be exact, and our Bichpoo named Choco (yes, as in Chocolate but pronounced in a cool Spanish way). To most people, this would be like living the perfect American life with your perfect family. Why it is that when it comes to having a perfect family with adoptive children, it’s seen as “much harder”? A study by Martha A. Rueter…

Introduction Evolution is the theory of how organisms change over time. Scientist believe evolution is a reliable theory by studying anatomy, biochemicals, fossils, and embryology. When studying these they notice the structural similarities. Through these studies scientist can conclude that each organism shares one common ancestor. The purpose of this lab was to observe the bone anatomy of certain animals to find similarities in them. Also doing this experiment i noticed that some of the…
