A typical DNA cloning experiment involves digesting the plasmid DNA of the vector with a particular restriction endonuclease that cuts it at only one position. Foreign DNA (e.g. human DNA) is then digested with the same restriction endonuclease. Because the plasmid and foreign DNA fragments were…

Who was responsible for the death of Aurore? What can society do to prevent such abuse in the future?…

Lancelets, also known as “Amphioxus,” are small, fishlike animals within the subphyla Cephalochordata. This organism may be tiny in size, but their impact on human evolution is tremendous! Carol MacKintosh, a professor in the College of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee, defines them as “…a very distant cousin to humans and other vertibrates. It is the creature most similar to the original spineless organism that existed before a major genomic event occurred.”…
African tree toads live in tropical lowland forest. The African tree toad is mostly found in the central part of Africa, the main countries are: Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Nigeria and Democratic republic of congo. The African tree toad’s habitat must have plentiful water supply for them to survive. In order for all living organisms to survive, food must also be available. The Nectophryne afra is a carnivorous amphibian, they eat small invertebrates, like insects, worms and spiders. There are two main distinctive features that the African tree toad has: a small body size and webbed feet.The Nectophryne afra can be as small as one inch, and the biggest African tree toad ever found was only 1.5 inches long!

Armadillos are very unique mammals. They can range in size from 5 inches to 5 feet in length. They also can weight from 3 ounces to 120 pounds. Armadillos have short and strong legs that are adapted to burrowing or digging. Their legs are very muscular and can be used very efficiently for swimming. Armadillos have four toes present on their front feet and five toes on their hind feet.(McDonough,1997) They walk on the tips of their feet and only leave three-toed tracks that are often mistaken for bird tracks. All of the armadillo’s toes contain claws that are very distinct and well developed and aid the creatures to be fast and efficient diggers. They use their ability to dig to avoid trouble from predators and shelter, but they also use their claws to dig up food sources such as insects in a dead log.…
A beautiful country filled with a variety of creatures, Ecuador lies on the northwest boarder of South America. The climate there is humid, a suitable environment for the thriving animal population and the plethora of trees which cover the tropical floor of the Andes mountains. There is one animal, the glass frog, that is native to this country and has a unique physical characteristic. Glass frogs have made their home in the forests of Ecuador and Peru and feature a translucent underside which makes their internal organs visible. They live remarkable two-phase lives, hopping from tadpole to frog. But there is an issue that has developed in the region of Ecuador relating to these unique creatures. For reasons researcher are still discovering,…
Simply put, history can be defined as the events of the past and their subsequent effect on society and culture. History happens at every second of every day, from the smallest affair to the biggest life-changing event. Everything and anything that has ever occurred can be considered part of history. Therefore, history is as vast and infinite as time itself. Without history, society would be in a state of constant immobility. History is a tool for learning, a necessity for innovation and change. Without the understanding of cause and effect, action and reaction, society cannot better itself or evolve. History is responsible for the world we live in and for the progression we continue to make.…
OK, so to Lispeth. An early Kipling, written in 1886, age 20. This is a typical Kipling story of the conflict between Occident and Orient in a colonial setting. The basic plot is this: a character crosses the divide; and crossing the disaster inevitably leads to disaster. Let us remind ourselves of the opening paragraph of this story, since it describes perfectly what we’re talking about:…
Brauron is on the coast of Athens, enclosed by a temple and three-winged stoa. The temples on this site were sacred to Artemis Brauronia and her priestess Iphigeneia. Here, many offers to Artemis were presented. Often, these were tokens of childhood, or tokens for help with childbirth. Every four years, young Athenian girls approaching marriageable age would perform in a festival for Artemitis. This festival was called the Brauronia. It was a coming of age ceremony, for girls of ages from five to thirteen. They would wear honey colored saffron robes, run races, dance like bears, and make sacrifices to Artemis. A goat was the main choice for sacrifice. Their group was called arktoi, or she-bears. The idea of a bear was derived from many local myths that suggested bears were sacred to Artemis. This was a way to leave childhood behind, and was why they often left tokens of this time in their lives. Many artifacts such as dolls and toys were excavated from the spring, revealing more about the worship of Artemis. Vases excavated from the site and surrounding area show that parts of this ceremony were also performed nude. This shows the freedom that Artemis gave to the girls she would protect and revealed that in ancient Greece, while men had the symposium, women had this ceremony to be introduced from girlhood to womanhood. This was also where they would leave tokens on the eve of their marriage, such as a lock of hair, mirrors, gems, vases, statuettes, scarabs, and rings. Thousands of these have been found in the spring, preserved by the mud. This represented leaving behind the virginity treasured by the goddess but also asking for her protection in childbirth. Artemis held many domains. After giving birth, possessions of the women would be offered, of similar objects. Iphigenia was also worshipped at this site, as myths suggest she was important to Artemis. Artemis saved her when Agamemnon sacrificed her, and Iphigenia set up the cult at…
