In Metaphor and Thought, Hugh Petrie and Rebecca Oshlag argue that “metaphor is one of the central ways of leaping the epistemological chasm between old knowledge and radically new knowledge” (Petrie and Oshlag 583). Scientists compare cognitive domains in order to apply widely “idealized cognitive models” to previously unexplained natural phenomena (Kövecses 173). In absorbing “truly new forms of knowledge and understanding,” learners construct, reject, and accept metaphorical comparisons of…
6th BIOLOGICAL CRISIS WHICH MAN IS THE CAUSE ABSTRACT This article will discuss the biological crises the Earth faced since the creation of the living organisms. Then, this article will argue the reasons why human beings generated a 6th biological crisis. Finally, this article will explain what the elements of this 6th biological crisis are. KEYWORDS Biological crisis, Extinction of species, environmental ecosystems, massive extinction, ecological niches, Industrial Era, greenhouses gases,…
The study of inheritance at the at one of the smallest levels is referred to as molecular genetics and is utilized for many purposes, which include genes, genotyping, sequencing, cloning, etc. (Kelly, 2016). This allows for the ability to conduct DNA analysis revealing varying compositions and properties. For the following experiment the genomic DNA from Drosophila melanogaster, was utilized to be cloned and sequenced for either actin or 18s rRNA. In order to clone and sequence the specific…
must then fuse with the vesicle membrane, thereby releasing the nucleocapsid into the cytosol. As we already have discussed, the genomic negative sense ssRNA is utilized as a template for the synthesis of monocistronic mRNAs, and, using the host ribosomes and tRNA molecules, the mRNA is translated into viral proteins. As the viral protein levels…

What is biodiversity? Introduction Biodiversity is defined as the variety of life on Earth at all its levels and includes genes to ecosystems, as well as the ecological and evolutionary processes that sustain it (Cardinale, 2012). The Earth’s biodiversity has long been a source of wonderment and scientific curiosity, but is increasingly becoming a source of concern. The sheer diversity of life is of inestimable value. Biodiversity has a number of functions on Earth, from providing a foundation…
