Peppered moth evolution

Asia. Furthermore, fossils and different layers of the earth are found in North America in the Grand Canyon layers, which prove a flood created the canyons in days, not millions of years as evolutionist teach. First, evidence that takes away from evolution is that: evolutionists would have to believe that the Colorado River flowed up hill; the Colorado River is more than 4,000 below the elevation where the Colorado River meets the Grand Canyon. When you look at this through a creationist…

Darwin’s theory of evolution is a theory that is universally acclaimed by numerous scientists and citizens. Darwin’s general theory of evolution states that complex creatures such as us have evolved from more simplistic creatures over time and essential genetic mutations are preserved because they act as an aid for survival (Anon. 2002). This process is known as natural selection (Anon. 2002). Subsequently, Darwin argued that natural selection is an inevitable outcome of three principles caused…

The hairless gene in humans is recessive. hairless lacks a shared evolution with Hairless in Drosophila melanogaster. Yet, Hairless presents evolutionary history with other genes in Drosophila melanogaster. Hairless has developed an antagonistic relationship with the Suppressor of Hairless. The Hairless gene depends on epistatic…

Dr. Sharon Moalem and Jonathan Prince both collaborated on the New York Times bestseller, Survival of the Sickest, which discusses how organisms surpassed their challenges through methods of evolution or medicine. The human race evolved and used medicine to combat the environment and the invaders trying to enter their body. One form of invader was Malaria, a disease spread from host to host by female mosquitos. Some invaders are already embedded in our DNA like the disease hemochromatosis. This…

Introduction In this study, we explored the concept of different habitat utilization at different life stages using a species of Buckeye butterflies known as Junonia Coenia. The concept of habitat utilization is known as the way organisms make use of the resources in their habitat for successful reproduction and a way to avoid predators. The main objective of this study was to determine if larvae and adults would be found at the same height and distance on the host plant and to compare their…

In Spörrle and Stich’s (2010) article, “Sleeping in Safe Places,” the researchers investigated people’s sleeping place preferences from the point-of-view of evolutionary psychology. Since there is little research about the topic, they focused on exploring numerous ‘testable’ predictions that originate from their fundamental hypothesis that posits people’s choices for places where they can sleep safely have changed to [sleeping] places where they think they are protected from possible aggressors…

censorship or challenging is in the play Inherit the Wind by: Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee. In the play Bertram Cates, a high school biology teacher in a small town named Hillsboro; who during one of his classes started teaching from an evolution textbook which was strictly against the law. Castes was soon put on trial, was found guilty and had to pay a fine of one hundred dollars. Bertram Cates wanted to show his students other possibilities of what they could believe in. Students…

Nearly every environmental issue is a human security issue. No matter what issue it is whether it is global warming, pollution, or poor air quality it still will affect humans negatively. Humans have basic needs to be able to survive such as clean water, food, and shelter from the elements. Without access to these then it would become a human security issue because it would cause many humans to die. Humans need to feel safe in their environment, humans should not fear for their lives due to…

Rett Syndrome Report Cathy Qian Clinical features Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a genetic disease which presents with a seemingly normal development up until 1-3 years of age. The disease is only present in females, as it is an X-linked dominant disorder and males with a defective X chromosome die prematurely. It is rare, with an estimate of 1:10000 - 1:15000 live female births. (4) This is when Stage II begins, with deterioration of mental processes. The rate of deterioration varies. Symptoms…
