Dominance

The ecological relationship between relative frequency and relative dominance is very important shown in figure 1 and 2. The tree species with the highest relative frequency also had the highest relative dominance and vis versa. The greater the relative frequency/relative dominance the greater the relative dominance/relative frequency of that species. On the ridge top the Burr Oak had the highest importance value and in the forest valley the Elm had the highest importance value. Why did the Burr…

prevent the fruit from dropping depending on the stage the plant is in (Biology online.,(n.d)).According to scientific journals, like the plant journal, it is stated that cytokinin helps lateral bud growth as it allows the buds to escape apical dominance in plants but when synthetic auxin or natural auxin is applied it limits the amount of cytokinin to the buds causing the lateral buds to be dormant (Dorte et al.,2015). Auxin can be distributed in the plants unevenly due to light and gravity…

Determining the impact of Auxin in pea plants, and its effect on lateral bud growth Megan Posey Bio 121-104 John Barry 10/23/16 Abstract Auxin is a hormone that helps to regulate bud growth, cell elongation, and many other aspects of plants. Apical dominance is a phenomenon that occurs due to the presence of auxin and stops lateral bud growth. In this experiment, we tested the hypothesis that a group of pea plants without treatment of auxin would have the most lateral bud growth, the 500 ppm…

Interpreting the Innate Thoughts of Dominance, Femininity and Masculinity When the word dominant is said it brings up images of successful men and it invokes thoughts of being in control. Why do we almost exclusively think of men when it comes to dominance? Men, historically have been the movers and shakers of society. They where the hunters, the village leaders, and now they are presidents and company commanders, although there are women in control it continues to be heavily male dominated. We…

have had the advantage of dominance and masculinity passed down to them from generation to generation. Women have been greatly affected by this male inheritance. Male dominance can alter a woman 's perspective on not only the world, but herself. The way a man presents his dominance can be shown in several ways: language, manipulation, physical and mental abuse. Hemingway 's Hills Like White Elephants and Moore 's How To Be An Other Woman, have a strong theme of male dominance. Both Hemingway and…

Conferred dominance is the act of giving one group unearned control over another group. Additionally, unearned advantage is the privilege that one group holds over society. An example of this can illustrated though the hierarchy system where white men are usually on top. This “unearned enticement” gives the dominant group an advantage based on their race, gender, place of birth, etc. Furthermore, a contemporary example of unearned advantage can be the wage gap between men and women. According to…

Every female has had at least one experience in her life where she has experienced some form of male dominance. Unfortunately, I have felt the brunt of male dominance more than once in my life. Male dominance in almost every aspect of life in American Society causes a lot of issues for women. I think the number one cause for the new wave of the Feminist and Women’s Rights Movement is that women are now realizing how much men dominate in the workplace, in social settings, in politics, and even in…

conflict. The need for hierarchy is evident all throughout Lord of the Flies, a novel by William Golding about a group of British boys stranded alone on an island. The boys are able to form “social classes” by the end of chapter one by establishing dominance over one another, even if they had to do it through simple peck-order bullying. The formation of social classes is one of the most important and impactful events in Lord of the Flies. The first example of an established hierarchy is when…

J., & Covell, K, 1997, p.3). The presence of male dominance in advertisements allows female objectification and acceptance of rape myths (MacKay, N. J., & Covell, K, 1997, p.3). Advertisements have the power of self-reflection in the minds of their audience, and portraying the wrong message could have potentially…

stood in the doorway, her stature displaying her body for all to see, showing off her assets; “She put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame so that her body was thrown forward.” (31) In this scene, Curley’s wife shows her dominance, simply in the way she stands whilst speaking to the men. Angling her body to appeal the them, the men do not flirt back with Curley’s wife, but at the same time, they do not look away from her body: keeping their attention on her. When all…
