Introduction: Forensics is involved with the field of law. It involves the collection, preservation, and analysis of evidence found at a crime scene that is needed to be investigated for further information to be obtained. For the science involved in forensics is in the DNA left behind by suspects or victims. The DNA could be found in different forms such as fingerprints, cells such as blood, skin or hair. DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material, with the use of enzymes for…
deep-sea habitat makes it difficult to study. The first photo of a live squid was not taken until 2004 and the first live giant squid to be brought to the surface was not until 2006. The giant squid belongs to the phylum Mollusca, class Cephalopada, genus Architeuthis, and species Architeuthis dux. Giant squids are similar to their smaller relatives in many ways including, using ink as a defense against predators, they have a closed circulatory system so they can move quickly. Squids also have…
Science Paper Marine biologists study the behaviors of all marine organisms. They also have a lot of knowledge on all marine organisms. However, everything there is to know about the carnivorous great white sharks’ species hasn’t been discovered yet. Scientists can only do so much with these organisms in a controlled environment (or captivity) before an incident occurs where the shark either dies or puts others in danger. Erik Vance’s article, “Why Great White Sharks Are Still a Mystery to Us”…
The genus Brassica is one of 51 genera in the tribe Brassiceae belonging to thecrucifer family, and is the economically most important genus within this tribe,containing 37 different species. Many crop species areincluded in the Brassica genus, which provide edible roots, leaves, stems, buds,flowers and seedCrops.Crops belonging to this genus are occasionally called Cole crops—derived from the Latin caulis, denoting the stem or branch of a plant.[1] Members of Brassica commonly used for food…
a percent change for each bacterium. The bacteria it gave were Serratia liquefaciens with an 84.96% chance, Serratia marcescens with a 12.54%, and Enterobactor agglomerans with 2.5%. This leads me to believe after so many dichotomous keys that the genus would be…
found in the Caturrita formation in what is now Brazil. In life, it would have reached lengths of up to 2.5 meters (about 8 feet) long, weighed up to 70 kilograms (about 154 pounds) and, reached a height of about 80 centimeters (about 2’ 7”). Its genus name means “black water lizard” while the species name comes from Tolentino Marafiga, who discovered the remains on the side of the road. Being the eleventh species of dinosaur discovered in Brazil, this animal is also the first prosauropod…
The purpose of this experiment was to be able to identify certain substances that the Armadillidium vulgare is attracted to or would be likely to move towards. The substances were three different liquids and three different solids. Another purpose of the lab was to learn the characteristics of an Armadillidium vulgare also known as a pillbug (Mader, 2013). The main topic was based on whether the pillbug would be attracted to certain substances, and the reason they’re attracted to it. The pillbug…
Spotted fever group rickettsioses present a threat to human health worldwide. These bacteria are the cause of potentially fatal febrile illnesses in humans. They are transmitted by arthropod vectors such as ticks, mites, fleas and lice, which are associated with vertebrate host animals including rodents and companion animals. Background Rickettsia are obligate intracellular bacteria that are widely distributed throughout the world, causing both emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases…
The subject that is being read is Prokaryotes. An example of a prokaryote is bacteria. Bacteria traits are usually for a genus and are extremely important to the cell. Bacteria come within various shapes, such as spirals, cocci, rods, etc. These shapes are very useful for the prokaryotes. Prokaryotes do not have a developed nucleus instead the cell has a nucleoid which is also known as a nuclear bound and it lacks the cytoplasm membrane. Prokaryote structures consist of the flagella, pili, and…
organisms that chimpanzees would seem the most human-like. Below I intend to discuss the chimpanzee’s taxonomy, morphology, habitat, and social structure. The chimpanzee’s taxonomy, or pan troglodytes (species name for the chimpanzee) hails from the genus: pan, family: hominidae, super family: Hominoidea, infraorder: simiiformes and suborder: Haplorrhini. Known sub-species include P. t. Schweinfurthii, P. t. Troglodytes, P. t. Vellerosus, and P. t. Verus. Chimpanzee’s are generally found to be…
