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 discovered in the Djurab Desert in Chad. Since only the skull was discovered‚ it is still unclear on how Sahelanthropus tchadensis fits in our evolutionary

and children differently in various aspects of life such as intelligence‚ strength‚ ability‚ etc. Women and children have always been considered innocent individuals so we tend to be more forgiving and considerate. “This is known as the Chivalry Hypothesis‚ which states that much of female criminality is hidden because of the culture’s generally protective and benevolent attitude toward women” (Mindtap). Women are not being treated in the same manner as men when it comes to crime‚ which leads to less

MM Hypothesis – A Critique The assumptions of MM hypothesis are unrealistic and untenable in practice. As a result‚ the conclusions that dividend payment and other methods of financing exactly offset each other and hence‚ the irrelevance of dividends‚ is not a practical proposition; it is of merely theoretical relevance. The validity of MM approach is open to question on two counts: 1. Imperfection of Capital market 2. Resolution of uncertainty Market Imperfection MM assume that capital markets

as to whether cohabitation itself is to blame for the increase in divorce rates‚ or whether other factors‚ such as socio-economic status‚ childhood family life‚ or level of education that are statistical factors for divorce are the same factors that lead to a predilection for premarital cohabitation. Using studies from the last ten years‚ this paper will argue that as cohabitation becomes societally normalized the likelihood of divorce will correlatively decrease‚ and that cohabitation on its own does

instrumental for the RNA World Hypothesis ("Sidney Altman: The RNA World"). This hypothesis stated that early life started with RNA as they possess the ability to serve as a catalyst as well as contain genetic information. The RNA was able to spontaneously form under natural processes‚ which eventually replicated into all sorts of life. This paper will analyze the theoretical and experimental support for this hypothesis and comment on the plausibility of the RNA World Hypothesis. The RNA World theory is

Describe the operon hypothesis and how it explains the control of the messenger RNA production and the regulation of protein synthesis in bacterial cells. The operon is a group of genes coding for proteins with related functions and they are arranged in units. The operon is made up of the promoter‚ structural genes and the operator. Transcription depends on the regulator‚ it may be located anywhere on the bacterial chromosome. The regulator codes for the repressor‚ which binds to the operator
