G. H. Hardy

Introduction Evolution is the process in which organisms change from one generation to the next over a period of time. The Hardy-Weinberg equation is one of the most popular ways to determine if a certain trait within a population is changing. The Hardy-Weinberg equation provides a null-hypothesis to compare to the observation of the population. One can predict the outcome of the estimated amount of offspring in a population by using two alleles to determine which will be present in future generations. This equation uses a Punnet Square that makes a mathematical format to interpret the information. This possibility is referred to as Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium or Hardy-Weinberg principle. Although the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is rarely met in a given population, it can occur if only the allele and genotype remain the same from one generation to the next in the absence of different evolutionary influences. Alleles are a pair of genes that appear on a particular chromosome and control certain characteristics, such as color and…

A utopia can never exist. It is based upon an idea which involves a perfect society governed by perfect people. Just like neither our modern society and Catherine Austen’s book, All Good Children society is not perfect, neither is Canada or school systems. When Canada is compared in both All Good Children, and our modern day society, many similarities can be seen. The main similarity is the fact that Canada is commonly seen as an escape from an oppressive United States, and that does not end…

G. Wells, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and Yann Martel, Life of Pi, both set up unique plots to allow for manipulation of the common ideologies surrounding the relationships between animals and humans and the differences between animality and humanity. Both novels first allow for distinct differentiation between the two, however, over a course of long term isolation and the persisting fear of death, the differences between animality and humanity is broken down to show a correlation between the…

A utopia is a perfect society, but even the slightest mishap in the attempt of a utopia could develop it into a dystopia, a horrible and oppressive society. In 1961, a dystopian short story was written called Harrison Bergeron, by Kurt Vonnegut. The society has measured the strength, intelligence and looks of the average person and put handicap on the citizens who are above those expectations. Harrison Bergeron, a short story by Kurt Vonnegut, exhibits dystopian characteristics such as…
