It could be on microbiology part of science‚ but parasite in general is not only microorganisms. Normal-sized organism could be a parasite; it is assessed by their behavior. To talk about parasites biology terminology will be

“The Biology of Facial Beauty”‚ an article from the International Journal of Cosmetic Science‚ states that it is common misconception that beauty is unsystematic. In fact‚ due to the contributions of biology‚ beauty is very predictable despite various factors‚ such as nationality‚ age‚ and race (317). This article is captivating and informative. Nevertheless‚ it could be improved by establishing a more clear-cut thesis and only selecting a few biological aspects of beauty to research and analyze

the contributions of A. R. Wallace‚ who died 90 years ago‚ are more significant than usually acknowledged. I conclude that natural selection ’s lesser known co-discoverer should be regarded as one of the most important pioneers of evolutionary biology‚ whose original contributions are underestimated by most contemporary scientists. Introduction Ninety years ago the English naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823±1913) died at Old Orchard‚ Broadstone‚ United Kingdom. In spite of the fact that

These points include leadership development‚ traits of successful leader‚ and what type of impact a leader could have. The first point

The sources of genetic variation such as mutations and sexual recombination will also be reviewed. Mechanisms of Evolution It is said that biology “came of age” when Charles Darwin published “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection”. In this book Darwin expressed his concept on the mechanism of evolution: natural selection. He felt that a population could change over generations

The Role of Epigenetics in Homosexuality The article I chose to review came from The Quarterly Review of Biology‚ Volume 87‚ No.4‚ pages 343-368‚ and is entitled‚ “Homosexuality as a Consequence of Epigenetically Canalized Sexual Development”‚ by William R. Rice‚ Urban Friberg‚ and Sergey Gavrilets. The common occurrence of homosexuality is perplexing from an evolutionary perspective. From an evolutionary standpoint‚ homosexuality is a trait that would not be expected to develop and persist in

Evolution in biology is a genetic change in a line of descent over time. The evolution of life on Earth has resulted in many hundreds of thousands of species. Genetic evidence reveals that humans share a common ancestor with life forms as different from us as bacteria and corn plants. In early 1800s‚ the source of Earth’s remarkable diversity of life forms was hotly disputed. Many people believed that all species had come into existence at the same time in the distant past. In 1831 Charles Darwin
