Chimpanzees are species of apes from the genus Pan. The common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) is from the phylum Chordata and class Mammalia, they are believed to be the closest relatives to humans due to its evolutionary relationships with humans and its common ancestor, there are many similarities that chimps share with humans. Among these similarities is the display of tool-using behaviors in chimps. Nut cracking has been considered as one of the most complex forms (Schrauf et al. 2012). In its…

The Four Forces of Evolution If we were to think back thousands of years ago to how things were or how things looked, they would be drastically different than how they appear now. Primates, insects, plants, resources, and lifestyles are all very different than they used to be. Over time they have been steadily changing and adapting to their surroundings. This process of changing is called evolution, discovered by Charles Darwin (Haviland, Prins, Walrath, McBride 2015 Pgs.32-34). With such a…

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…

They are also highly social animals who travel in groups called rafts; a single raft could range from 10 sea otters to over 100 sea otters [6].  Scientific Name[1]: Enhydra lutis  Classification[1]: o Domain: Eukarya  Kingdom: Animalia  Phylum: Chordata  Subphylum [3]: Vertebrata o Class: Mammalia  Order: Carnivora  Family: Mustelidae o Genus: Enhydra  Species: Enhydra lutis  Size[6]: Sexually Dimorphic in terms of size and weight…

It starts with the largest number of animals in the top rank, the kingdom, and then moves sequentially down to smaller and smaller subsets. These include the subkingdom, phylum, superclass, class, subclass, order, suborder, and family. Notes are included about new classification expansions and inclusions of additional ranks where appropriate. The additional ranks are…

The Florida Manatee, aka Sea Cow, or West Indian Manatee, is found in 7 to 10 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean during spring, summer, and fall (National Geographic, 2016). Later, in the winter you can find them near power plants, and in natural spring water that sustains temperatures above 68 degrees Fahrenheit because manatees cannot live in water below this temperature. This fascinating herbivore can live in salt water and fresh water. The endangered Florida…

There are about 100 million unique species on Earth. Living organisms exhibit unity because they use the same processes for seizing and storing energy, producing proteins, and passing on the information through genes from generation to generation. At the same time living organisms exhibit diversity because there are so many different species. All life on Earth is related because everything came to be from common origin yet beginning 4 billion years ago. Throughout the time living things have…

Bald Eagle was voted to be it instead. Many hunters who are avid turkey hunters, try and complete what they call the grand slam, which is killing all four birds in the United States. The full classification of the Wild Turkey is, Kingdom: Animalia- Phylum: Chordata- Class: Aves- Order: Galliformes- Family: Phasianidae- Subfamily: Meleagridinae- Genus: Meleagris…
