The sky witnessed these changed over the centuries…

After reading about John Locke’s empiricism, I think that he is right about the tabula rasa. Locke believed that human beings were born with a blank state mind, just like a blank white piece of paper that has no words or ideas to it. He stated that everybody enters the world with no previous knowledge nor understanding about anything, and the only way to gain knowledge and furnish our brain is through experience.

The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) within organisms can be methylated while proteins can be either methylated or acetylated. The methylation of DNA and RNA is used for alternative splicing used for production of different mRNA molecules resulting in numerous new proteins. One of the molecules believed to perform the methylation is N6A or N6 methyladenosine. Methylation is the most observed modification to mRNA molecules. Methylation of both DNA and RNA ensures…

Perspective and belief will vary from person to person, but what will always remain the same is the truth. Yann Martel, in his book Life of Pi, shows that varying stories can convey the same truth and underlying message, in different ways. In the book, Piscine Molitor Patel, also known as Pi, tells two stories of his time stranded in the Pacific Ocean. In the first story he tells of how he is accompanied by animals that occasionally act like humans. The fact that Pi was able to survive in…

to several lions. As top consumers, lions eat a variety of organisms that are found in their habitats in order to eat their required 15.5 (7.03 kg) pounds of food. In the vast savannahs of Kenya, lions can choose to consume “wildebeest, warthogs, zebras, buffalo, or eland antelopes,” (Kitzmiller, Carrie).

"The cook threw himself upon the sailor's head and before our very eyes scalped him…

his room and started reading and taking notes. Considered one of most damaging of the invasive species introduced to this country, zebra mussels were transported to the Great Lakes in ballast water from a transoceanic vessel, originally found in Russia… The most interesting fact he found was that It is almost impossible to stop them from reproducing, as female zebra mussels can produce 100,000 to 500,000 eggs per year. They stick to hard surfaces and eat algae which is fish food. And without…

human qualities. In the Life of Pi, animals have the human-like emotions. They will be mad when others do something harmful to their friends. After the ship sank, there are some animals survived on “Pi’s Ark”: a zebra, a hyena, an ape and a tiger; however, the hyena is hurting the zebra.

Their span was greater than her height-one hand hung over the water, the other reached across the width of the lifeboat nearly to the…
