What is the difference between artificial selection and natural selection? (Give an example for both.) The key word in these processes is selection; when we have several clearly different options to decide upon‚ we look at the option we believe serves according to our best interest and “cull” the others. Artificial selection is the process of humans selecting certain phenotypes in organisms to serve their purpose. An example of artificial selection can be observed in the phenotypic diversity of

review aims to provide information about consideration of the origin of life. The study reveals that the origin of life can be accomplished in both approaches‚ from the bottom up or from the top down by a retracing of the transition from prebiotic to biotic. Although the origin of life attracts people to science‚ it is not easy to define and analyze exactly relationships between planetary evolution‚ geology and conditions of early earth and biochemistry and biological complexity.

This report is relevant so that we can understand the abiotic and biotic factors of an environment and how it can affect the organisms’ habitats. Hence‚ we can determine the indicator species for the zonation. To determine a more accurate result for this investigation‚ many aspects could be improved to obtain that. In comparison to Stephenson’s study‚ many organisms were not seen. In order to ensure a more accurate data‚ the analysis could be taken out for a longer period‚ not just a few hours as

Science Study Notes Inner Space Structure of the atom · An atom is the smallest part of an element that can be part of a chemical reaction - in other words‚ an atom is the smallest particle that can exist naturally · When two or more atoms join up they form a molecule. Atoms are generally found in the form of molecules. · An atom consists of a nucleus‚ which is made up of protons and neutrons. · Protons are positively charged particles. Neutrons have no charge. There is an outer layer made

| |population | | Introduction: The environment may be changed by biotic factors as well as by relationships between organisms and the physical (abiotic) environment. The carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the maximum number of organisms that an area can support on a sustained or continuing basis. The population density (number of individuals per unit area) may produce such profound

Chapter 54 - Community Ecology Homework 1. Explain the differences between competition‚ predation‚ parasitism‚ mutualism‚ and commensalism and give an example of each. Competition- (–/– interaction) occurs when species compete for a resource in short supply example when an invasive species moves in it cause competition. Large insects defend feeding sites on cottonwood leaves by kicking and shoving smaller aphids from better sites. Predation- (+/– interaction) refers to an interaction in which
