Genus

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus, a member of the Spondweni serocomplex, whose natural transmission cycle involves mainly vectors from the Aedes genus (A. furcifer, A. taylori, A. luteocephalus and A. africanus) and monkeys, while humans are occasional hosts. The illness is usually mild comprising symptoms lasting for several days to a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito. People usually don’t get sick enough to go to the hospital, and they very rarely die of Zika.…

The rabies virus has already survived for hundreds of years and is often fatal. The are 71 different species in this pathogen's family with 11 genera. The genus I identified is the lyssavirus from the family Rhabdovirdae. The species of the family Rhabdovirdae, I found on this farm in Montana, was rabies. Animals and humans can be a host to this virus. It is a zoonotic disease prevalent in wildlife, and the main animals involved vary between continents. In North America the main animals involved…

Lab 1- Hardy Weinberg Godfrey Hardy, a mathematician, and Wilhem Weinberg, a physician in Germany, formulated a probability equation about the frequencies of genes that are inheritable within a gene pool. They analyzed that the frequencies of alleles. Hardy and Weinberg made an equation about genetic variance of a population at equilibrium. They postulated that allele or genes should be stable or equal with no disturbing factors. For a generation be able to remain constant and reach the…

Uses of Olive (Olea europaea) in cosmetics The Olive and its fruits are mainly cultivated for its oil. Olive oil is known for its culinary uses and it is used to manufacture various cosmetics.

Introduction: Microbiology is the study of all living microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, protozoans…etc, and non-living microorganisms like viruses, viroids and prions. The significance of identifying an unknown microorganism is first to understand what type of organism it is and what structures it has to help figure out their potential benefit, danger or even neutrality to humans. Physicians benefit from this by identifying what their patients are suffering from and how to treat them. Also…

member of the dolphin family. They were close related to bottlenose dolphins, pilot whale, and false killer whale. Dall’s porpoises sometimes mistaken as “baby” killer whale. Many culture named killer whale based on their position of food chain. The genus name Orcinus mean “of the kingdom of dead” in Roman. The Chinese name of killer whale was “Hu Jing”, which mean “tiger whales”. A reasonable guess was that as the ancient Chinese regarded tiger as the king of land animal, and both of tiger…

a paper published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health, “The first major burst of evolutionary change in hominid brain size occurs at about 2.0 to 1.7 million years ago, associated with the emergence and evolution of early members of the genus Homo. Before this, our earlier hominid ancestors, the australopithecines, showed only modest brain size evolution from 438 to 530 cm' over a 2-million year span, with all the australopithecines having brain sizes comparable to modern apes.”…

As years have gone by, the quality of life of human beings has been dramatically improved through the discoveries of some of history’s greatest scientific minds. A major contributor of the impact of science on the today’s world was Sir Alexander Fleming, known to most people as the “Penicillin Man.” Alexander Fleming was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, on August 6, 1881 (Biography.com Editors). Sir Alexander Fleming was a doctor and bacteriologist most notorious for his discovery of the penicillin…

important species in the ecological environment where it is found because it digs burrows that provide shelter for at least 360 other animal species. The class of the gopher tortoise is Reptilian, the order is Testudines, the family is Testudinidae, the genus is Gopherus and the species is G. Polyphemus. The gopher tortoise belongs to a group of land tortoises that originated in western North America nearly 60 million years ago. At least 23 species of tortoise are known to have existed on…
