Cosmopolitan species

supported by certain biologist’s who argue evolution favours the directional development of complex life . However, life is not a straightforward progression towards complexity. Natural selection can’t explain revolutionary change because while species produce evolutionary trends through their adaptive challenges, there are random events such as mass extinctions that dramatically alter the progress of life. Life on earth emerged from a series of fortuitous accidents. The distance of the…

of them is quite far, similar fossils still can be found in these place. In different environments, these similar species evolved into different kind of creature. Second, the forelimbs of Vertebrates support Evolution. For example, human, cats, whales and crocodile have pentadactyl limbs, and their forms are almost the same. But their functions are very dissimilar because the species have to improve pentadactyl limbs in order to adapt their own environments. Scientists call this kind of…

has triggered its ..……. (baneful, sinister, doomful, malevolent) traps with a pencil to see its amazingly rapid response. However, carnivory in plants is not limited to the famous Venus flytrap. In fact, there are more than 600 carnivorous plant species, and the ability to catch and digest ………(dupe, prey, victim, quest) has evolved independently at least six times among flowering plants. Carnivory in plants is a useful trait that allows them to survive in poor soil conditions, meaning that they…

organisms and their origins are discussed in Ted Daeschler and Neil Shubin’s Fossil Discovery and the Origin of Tetrapods. Tetrapod are species that have four limbs and originated from finned animals. According to Daeschler and Shubin, the oldest evidence of tetrapod is the 375 million years old Tikaalik roseae. This species helped aid in the discovery of how species transitioned from “fish-to-tetrapod.” Aquatic animals and land animals have different characteristics due to their environment. If…

Competition, in biology, is the relationship between members of the same or different species in which individuals are adversely affected by those having the same living requirements, such as food or space. It doesn’t necessarily have to be between members, it can be between a human and the human mind. In specific habitats, organisms compete for resources, such as water, nutrients, space, and mates. Each organism has a niche amidst a given region that includes everything the organism needs to…

observations that I had made was as follows: “[Excerpt] Within the continuing activity of the bioblitz, it was essential for the identification of living invertebrates in order to not only learn of the different species that existed among the national park - but also to aid in the discovery of new species.” One of the major question however that would go on to peak my own personal interest however was: “How long does it essentially take for a full scale bioblitz of cataloging all sorts of…

It has been in our blood as a species to constantly keep moving to survive. We have been this way since ancient times as a primitive species and even now as properly functioning civilized beings. It can be seen throughout history that we migrate, move and spread in various ways throughout the world for the benefit ourselves. More often than not it can be seen that war, famine and hope motivate us to do so. The Vietnamese people that migrated to America before, during and after the Vietnam War…

Narrative Essay What do you consider a challenge? Maybe hitting more home runs, running faster, beating your time running barrels, or maybe training an animal. I wanted to train a donkey. Training the donkey would be a challenge, but I had always wanted to make a career of training horses and other equines. This experience taught me to be patient and not give up. Christmas was just around the corner when I was given my donkey. I named him Solomon. He was given to me by my grandmother…

This actually helped advance the evolutionary process for their species. Forcing the weaker ones and females to compete for food has forced others to develop alternative ways to hunt. National Geographic’s article states “In 2007 Jill Pruetz, an anthropologist at Iowa State University, reported that a Fongoli female chimp…

It is fascinating how our complex biology allows each being to be adapted to Earth’s nature, providing remarkable talents to the human race. My awareness of the plentiful imperfections, such as genetic mutations, among our species has urged me to further my understanding of what causes these malfunctions and the consequent events that follow. Hence, my subject of choice complements my desire to reveal the methods by which ordered assemblies of molecular sequences drive such incredible beings to…
