Experiment 8.1 Yes there was a change because with the starting snail population there was a great variation from 1-7. After the crab began eating only the snails with the thickest shells survived. The snails with the thinnest shells were eaten by the crab. Only snails with shell thickness 4-7 were left after the crab had their meal. The original snails with thickness 1-3 were eliminated from the population by the crab. The crab will usually try to expend as little enrgy as it can to maximaize its

The Drosophila melanogaster In this experiment‚ the species Drosophila melanogaster‚ the common fruit fly‚ was studied to examine the processes of natural selection and genetic drift in the laboratory. The fruit fly has a sex linked gene determining eye colour. Located on the X chromosome‚ a fruit fly can exhibit the phenotype white eye (homozygous recessive)‚ or red eyed wild-type (dominant). Males of the species are XY‚ and as such only carry one eye colour determining X chromosome. Females

Evolution‚ an interesting topic all students ponder about during biology class but don’t know the true meaning nor the examples to support it. Evolution is the theory discussing the changes in heritable characteristics of a population over generations. Populations such as cows‚ birds‚ and giraffes. The giraffe population is quite thought-provoking when it comes to evolution. Which acquires many traits and behaviors today that evolved throughout generations‚ such as‚ short sleeping times‚ long necks

found in California. This job can provide answers to those who wonder why animals act or acted the way they did by studying them and observing their lives. In order to become a zoologist you would need a doctoral degree and a major in zoology/biology‚ although a bachelors degree would be the minmium requirement. Staying local would be great‚ so a University you can attend is San Diego State Univeristy. A Zoologist would need to work in a clean‚ well-lighted and equipped laboratory. Some zoologists

Discuss the chain of events that led to the discovery of DNA as the heritable substance and the discovery of the structure of DNA. Ans> The chain of events led to the discovery of DNA as the heritable substance and the discovery of the structure of DNA. In the late nineteenth century‚ a German biochemist Friedrich Miescher found the nucleic acids which are long-chain polymers of nucleotides‚ and are made up of sugar‚ phosphoric acid‚ and several nitrogen-containing bases. Later it was found
