The sexy-sons hypothesis is similar however it posits that females will choose the most attractive males to mate with so that those

Experiment 19 - Determination of the equilibrium constant for the reaction Fe3+ (aq) + SCN( (aq) = FeSCN2+ (aq) Object: To determine the equilibrium constant by a colorimetric method Theory: Colorimetric methods of analysis are usually applied to the determination of small concentrations of either inorganic or organic materials in a solution. The constituent sought must be coloured or must be capable of reacting with a reagent to produce a substance having a suitable colour. Beers Law‚ which

makes the human species unique. The dictionary defines bipedalism as “a condition of using two feet for standing or walking”. Walking on two legs allowed our ancestors to see better‚ have freed up hands‚ and eventually become erect. Bipedalism is one of the initial driving force of the human evolution. It is still being debated to on exactly when did the ancestor of our species began to walk on two legs. One hypothesis relies on a 6-7 million year old skull of Sahelanthropus tchadensis. The skull was
