of plants that grow in an ecosystem‚ which in turn has an influence on the variety of animals that live there. The four major abiotic components are: climate‚ parent material and soil‚ topography‚ and natural disturbances. From the viewpoint of biology‚ abiotic factors can be classified as light or more generally radiation‚ temperature‚ water‚ the chemical surrounding composed of the terrestrial atmospheric gases‚ as well as soil and more. The macroscopic climate often influences each of the

can cause the evolution to change‚ by size of human population. The three things that are going to get talked about are The Fossil Records‚ Molecular Biology‚ and Structure Similarities. Fossil records are organisms from the past that have changed. Which with a fossil you can determine which period of life that the organism was alive. Molecular biology deals with the changes of structure and functions in macromolecules needed for the creation of life. Structural similarities is comparing organisms

The author supports the idea that animals’ brains are changing in response to human-dominated environments very well because he/she gives many pieces of relevant evidence from credible sources showing the huge relationship between humans and city-dwelling animals. The author gives the example of Dr. Emilie C. Snell-Rood‚ a biologist who works at the University of Minnesota‚ and her experiment with a species’ brains. "In a new study‚ a University of Minnesota biologist‚ Emilie C. Snell-Rood‚ offers

These examples‚ to an extent prove that in some cases‚ people can not escape their biology. According to Scott‚ 2005‚ genetics is the most argued point of criminology today. Some believe that genetics cause people to commit crimes. Geneticists research to find out if a certain chromosome combination will automatically make you a criminal

major domain of life known as Achaea. While researching this topic‚ Theobold took lateral gene exchange into consideration and this ended up providing the most evidence for Darwin’s universal common ancestor theory. This article relates to the biology class topic of life’s origin. Darwin postulated that all life that exists has descended from a common ancestor and that through the natural selection process‚ species adapted and evolved to bring about life that exists today. Life originates from
