Understanding Evolution: A Simple and Easy Illustration by Adam Chandler on Saturday‚ June 23‚ 2012 at 5:54am Many people don’t understand what evolution is‚ and how it happens. Therefore‚ some of them might reject it based on not knowing what it is‚ or based on a wrong understanding of it. Because of that‚ I find it my duty to make an easy to understand illustration of evolution‚ as I believe I understand it well. I’ll try to make this illustration as easy as possible‚ and in many places‚ oversimplified

long time now and since I don’t have my biological mother in my life‚ she has been there for my sister and I since I met her. There are a lot of reasons why I can say that she is my hero. My freshman year my sister and I met her daughter in our Biology class. From there we became best friends and began to spend a lot of time together and going to each other’s house. Since then Elaine has became like a mother figure for the both us. There has been numerous times when my father had things to do concerning

(10x)(40x)=400x The 4 Unifying Theories of Biology 1. The Cell Theory: Robert Hooke observed cells. All organisms are composed of cells that have DNA. 2. The Gene Theory: DNA is made up of nucleotides that contain a sequence. The sequence can be changed by mutation or crossing over. 3. The Theory

HISTORY OF THEORY OF EVOLUTION In 1543‚ a young Flemish anatomist Andreas Vesalius challenged Galen’s theories of the Human Body. This discovery had an impact on scientists. Vesalius’ discovery of the important differences between species also helped usher in the science of comparative anatomy‚ in which researchers studied animals to find their similarities and differences. In the process‚ they gradually began to recognize humans as being one species among many‚ with a few unique traits but

I have always been a very naturally inquisitive and enthusiastic person‚ especially when it involved disease and the impacts it has on the body as well as society. The recent media attention on diseases in the tropics (such as Ebola and MERS) has only heightened my fascination with disease and I am extremely interested in learning more and entering the field in the future as a scientist. Diseases are rapidly changing and evolving‚ and thus we have having to change our approach to how we monitor‚

life is effected by various environmental factors and in turn they modify their environment in various ways. The main theme of ecological studies is the relationship between organisms and environment‚ so ecology may well be called as "Environmental Biology." Growth‚ development and destruction of all organisms is determined by physical and biological conditions‚ their extremes and their interactions. Environment determines the destiny of a living organism. Plants growing in any particular place fully

experimentation‚ usually to ensure whether a product is safe for humans or not. However‚ animal testing is used worldwide‚ and its purpose ranges from guaranteeing the safety of domestic products to aiding medical research‚ particularly in the areas of biology and chemistry. This has always been a very controversial issue‚ but it first became a concern of Great Britain when in 1822‚ the country passed the Martin’s Act‚ which outlaws farm animal cruelty.

consists of the interactions among plants‚ animals‚ soil‚ water‚ temperature‚ light‚ and other living and non-living things. The word environment is used to talk about many things. People in different fields of knowledge (like history‚ geography or biology) use the word differently. An electromagnetic environment is the various radio waves that equipment such as radio and radar can meet. Galactic environment refers to conditions between the stars.
