Plant reproduction

I learned many valuable lessons from this book which gave me a different view on evolution and life. My first take was that species with shorter life spans evolve quicker and benefit the species as a whole. Before reading this, I believed organisms with short life spans were weak because they couldn’t live long. These organisms with short life spans were able to reproduce way quicker than most organisms. Rapidly, they can evolve which benefits the species as a whole which helps it achieve the…

The typical breeding season of Eastern Bluebirds typically begins when they lay their first egg around the beginning of April and their last egg towards the final days of that month (Hall, 2013). The nestlings will not start fledging until early May, although there is variation until early September. We understand from researching the process of fecal sac removal that the fecal sacs will most likely not be removed until the first few weeks after hatching. The longer days of late spring and early…

The Avocado has a yellowish flesh, with a seed in the center that contains everything that the fruit truly is. If that seed is introduced back into the life process, it can reproduce by being planted, and continue the life cycle. The rest of the plant is the human body, and the temporary creation that will cease to exist. This view of humans is common between Judaic, Christian, and even Islamic traditions. The soul of the human is comparative to the seed, and contains the image of the God that…

Both The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible contain the theme that human beings are at the mercy of the gods. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, the gods rule freely…

This social phenomenon of the double standard of name calling to degrade one person with harsh words due to her actions as her male counterpart…
