Reproduction

strictly carried out through insect pollination or entomophily. Other researchers have gone on to mention that wind or mixed pollination involving both insect and wind are involved. To establish which type of pollination is involved in the plant reproduction process, it is important to study the floral structure of the flower. If the flower in question is greenish, small and dangle in the wind as is the case with the Manitoba maple, the wind pollination is likely…

each human contains approximately six feet of DNA which is tightly packed and highly organized by proteins, the majority of it stored in the nucleus [1]. With this DNA, the nucleus produces needed proteins which are then used for cell growth, reproduction, and the overall functioning of the cell [2]. Furthermore, the nucleus is bound by a double layer membrane called the nuclear envelope. Similar to the plasma membrane, the…

Evolution and the nature of science are concepts that we encounter on a daily basis. Animals, humans, and plants all rely on the biological elements on earth in order to adapt, survive, and reproduce. Scientists have discovered many evidence of the way evolution has changed throughout the years. They have discovered things such as transitional fossils, and the way some selections play a role in science. However, there is still one universal question concerning people in terms of evolutionary…

Is a Virus Alive? To figure out an explanation of whether a virus is alive or not, the term “alive” will have to be defined first. With the use of the universal term used by biologists (Respiration, Regulation, Reproduction, Excretion, Growth, Nutrition, Transport, Synthesis or R.R.R.E.G.N.T.S. for short). This term can be used to classify whether something is alive or not. Viruses at its core is made of 2 different parts which includes a nucleic acid and a capsid (sometimes also a lipid…

by Johann Gutenberg in 1455. The invention of such tool facilitated the reproduction of books, which meant that the surplus of books could be produced for wider audiences. People learned how to read and educated themselves on a variety of subjects, and soon the ardent thriving on arts and literature began. Prominent artists of the era included Albrecht Durer, who perfected engraving, a technique that enabled the reproduction of paintings and prints. Prevalent authors of the time included Erasmus…

The true meaning of love is a topic that has been debated about since ancient times and Plato’s Symposium is one text that deals with the problem of defining love. In Plato’s “Symposium”, seven Greek philosophers take turns debating the meaning of love at a dinner party. Each philosopher has a different point of view and opinion of what love is and why we desire love. This text is extremely influential still to this very day, as it raises important questions about love that are significant to…

types of reproduction serial and repeated reproduction. In serial reproduction, a participant was asked to write down what they remembered of the story, then they would have to read their version to another participant and that participant would write down what they remember and so on. In repeated reproduction, the participant was asked to write down what they remembered 5 - 6 times with time gaps so from 15 min to several years. The results were the same for both types of reproduction, the…

The film describes their view on reproduction, where the fetus is already formed but the man initiates the completion of the fetus. They are not seen as the father, only a person that provides an “ingredient”. This eliminates the father role, since they are not a part of the child. The brother…

In the world state society of Brave New World, technology provided alternative medical methods in the reproduction process. The natural way of reproduction was looked down upon for being a threat to stability for the community and it slowed process of obtaining workers for factories. Technology led the society to focus methods such as surgical removal of ovaries, the Bokanovsky…
