bleeding, from mother to unborn child, when lesions come in contact with broken skin, and through blood transfusions. The disease is caused by Treponema pallidum which originates from the spiral-shaped Treponema (in Greek, “turning thread”) Bacteria genus that also includes other serious illness such as bejel, yaws, and pinta. Its complicated cellular structure makes it difficult correctly to diagnose, especially since the presence of another Treponema disease infection will produce a false…

Most people recognize cannabis as a recreational drug. However, this diverse genus of flowering plants has unique properties that make it an extremely versatile plant for humankind. The flowers of the cannabis sativa and cannabis indica species have medicinal applications and are used in religious and cultural settings. The stalk of the cannabis ruderalis species is used to manufacture hemp fiber. Cannabinoids, a diverse group of compounds, are synthesized by all three species of cannabis.…

perceptions of both the common barn owl (Tyto alba) and the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virgiriianus) can be provided, it is important for the reader to understand the environments of which these organisms can from. Unlike the Odocoileus, the Tyto genus are nocturnal, medium sized creatures with white-brown fur, and are found in almost all parts of the globe except Antarctica (Harris, 2002). In regards to the courtship ritual among these owls, it is the male species that must show-off their…

ecosystem they live in will have a domino effect that will change the ecosystem or destroy it all together (Nancy, 2013). The Sea Otter (Euhydra lutris) are remarkable creatures in that they help keep their environment in check (Konar, 2000). The genus name Euhydra and the specific name lutris are both translated into otter, Greek and Latin respectfully. There are three subspecies of sea otter two in Alaska (E. l. lutris, E. l. kenyomi) and one in California (E. l. nereis) (Folkens et al. 2002).…

On the first day of setting up we chose a farther site away from others deeper in the woods. The first time checking the cups we got two common ground beetles which are know as pterostichus Broad prothorax with denticulate hind angles; crossed elytral epipleural; body length greater than 12 mm; basal fovea of the prothorax bistriata with a more or less pronounced tubercle in center and a strong lateral carinae. Last tarsal segment setose underneath; wings often full; body deep black with dark…

This was disease that was associated with eating meat that contained a nematode (roundworm) from the genus Trichinella. The agent of trichinosis is Trichinella spiralis, which is found in many carnivorous and omnivorous animals. The disease occurs when a human ingests an undercooked piece of meat, then the larva gets released into the small intestine, which…

growing before they are birthed into the water. The classification system for the Great Whites is, Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Chondrichthyes, Subclass: Elasmobranchii, Suborder: Selachimorpha, Order:Lamniformes, Family: Lamnidae, Genus: Carcharodon, Species: C.…

picture of pathogen Pertussis aka Whooping cough is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis from the Betaproteobacteria class and Alcaligenaceae family Scientists have found eight species in the Bordetella genus, and of those eight, three of them are known to be pathogenic to humans. The most common are B. pertussis and B. parapertussis, and both cause whooping cough in people. They are distinguished by the toxins released during infection. B.…

Adaption is a change in gene frequencies as a result of natural selection (Wilreker, 2016). An adaption will manifest itself as a characteristic of an organism that is some way contributes to the organisms reproductive success (Wilreker, 2016). Bipedalism is an adaption of upright, two-legged movement rather than four-legged movement, and the key characteristic which makes early hominins different from the apes (Kottak, 2015). There are many advantages of bipedalism adaption which Scientists…
