Introduced species

The first and quite possibly the best evidence for evolution is Homology. Homology is when species share similarities that are signs of common ancestry such as homologous structures. Homologous structures are ones that derive from a common ancestral structure (“Evidence of Evolution…”). These can prove to be very solid reasoning when arguing for evolution and against creationism. They have led scientists to believe that current animals have evolved from one common ancestor. An easy way to…

Zoos can be very good for animals. They can help save a species from extinction, and then the animals can repopulate. The zoos can also help to maintain the genetic diversity of a species. We should have zoos, because they repopulate species that are close to extinction and they maintain the genetic diversity of the species while treating all the animals humanely. Zoos breed species that are endangered or on the brink of extinction. The animals that are bred in captivity hardly get released…

I work with all kinds of people every single day. I have participated in so many different clubs and activities that I have met and worked with every kind of person that there is. During the fall I work in a customer service job. This has taught me how to work and interact with many different people. Most importantly it has taught me how to handle angry people while still being as polite and helpful as possible. Through Junior Zookeepers I have lead and followed many different kinds of…

This research demonstrated the population size and migration time period of when the polar bear and brown bear separated. Making a dependable time frame for when the polar bear emerged as a new species and how fast new adaptations to intense environments can occur in a large mammal. The population genomic formation evaluates the nuclear genomes of polar bear and brown bear populations. By doing so the researchers estimated when polar bears and brown bears diverged. They gather demographic…

“Don’t take it, it is full of crap and it’s useless.” ~Mr. Kellerman AP Environmental Science (APES) is an optional course offered at our school, a course most students consider useless. The students who took the course say that APES is the easiest AP our school offers, with the exception of AP Chinese. However, this was my first legitimate AP test, and it was very scary. The journey I undertook this school year with my exceptional classmates is very momentous. Procrastination, one of the many…

Evolution is the theory that organisms change structurally and genetically over time resulting in the gradual development of new species. In this era this new species will be known as the homo-Kinney’s. This technology was originally used for animals such as mice; sheep and cows therefore allowing scientists to believe the same technology can be used on humans. With this technology you can change…

Speciation • Purpose o The purpose of this experiment is to determine the outcome of a barrier divide between two species. • Introduction o Natural selection is the evolutionary change due to variation in production of species with different variable characters. (Montgomery, n.d.) Such an example occurs when birds prefer red bugs due to possible taste or color than their counter species- green bugs. This in return will affect the higher reproduction of green bugs thus making red bugs become…

Exploring Marine Biology Many people are fascinated by ocean creatures like sharks, crabs, fish, and corals (Career Cruising). A student who researches the nature of a job, its working conditions, employment facts, the education and training requirements, along with the future job potential and earnings will be wiser and more knowledgeable when determining a career path. Becoming a Marine Biologist is an interesting career path because you get to travel all around the country/world and have to…

Dear Senator/Representative, My name is Shae Bauchens, and I am writing regarding my deep concern about how the destruction of coral reefs is eventually going to affect our every day lives as human beings, and how creating laws to stop overfishing will eliminate this issue all together. I did not grow up on a beach town, but my family and I love spending time in the sea. I love the ocean, and could not imagine what my life would be without it. It has played a huge role in my life since I was…

The Scorpion The Scorpion, being one of the most deadly animals in the US, is an animal that most people don’t like to think about. The Scorpion, at first look, can be terrifying or frightening for some people, others just think they are disgusting. What those people don’t see is the beauty inside the scorpion, instead they judge it by the outside. The meaning can be a little stern at times, but a scorpion isn’t always the sweetest animal. Sometimes you just have to dig a little deeper to see…
