Biology 1010 is a course that introduces students to the basic biological phenomena in all living organisms. It focuses on the different molecular levels of organization‚ heredity in evolution‚ genetics and reproduction. Through this course‚ I was able to master three essential concepts such as Mendel’s Law of Segregation‚ enzymes‚ and photosynthesis. Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian monk that argued that parental traits are passed on to their offspring discrete “heritable factors”. Heritable factors

The American Revolution was Evolutionary because each event that took place‚ leading up to the end of everything was to push forward and advance. The French and Indian war was the beginning of the American Revolution. Ethan Allen and his crew of green mountain boys and Benedict Arnold fought in the French and Indian war‚ as well as Charles Cornwallis ‚ Friedrich Von Steuben and Thomas Gage. (also known as Seven Year’s war). During the Seven Year’s war‚ Great Britain won but due to the French’s expansion

Genetic Drift as an Evolutionary Force Becky Gonzalez Genetics 2450 Lab Section 1262 March 2‚ 2011 Genetic Drift as an Evolutionary Force Genetic drift‚ along with natural selection‚ mutation‚ and gene flow‚ is one of the basic evolutionary forces of evolution. Evolution is the method by which allele frequencies in a population change over time. This process can be random‚ where the changes occur through genetic drift (Hahn and Bentley 2003)

Biology – The Science of Life Biology – derived from the words “bios”‚ which means life and “logos” which means study. It is therefore the study of life or living things. Major Divisions of Biology 1. Botany - study of plants - has a subcategory: •Phycology – study of seaweeds and algae 2. Zoology - study of animals - has eight subcategories: •Morphology – study of gross structures of organisms •Anatomy – study of the form and structure of organisms •Mammalogy – study of

sociobiology” –Marshall Sahlins Marshall Sahlins wrote this short book in 1976 in response to E O Wilson’s ’Sociobiology’. Sahlins gives a brief critique of what he called ’vulgar sociobiology’ which is a critique of simplistic notions of genes and evolutionary biology. The majority of the book is a critique of what he called ’scientific sociobiology’ and which he basically reduced to ’kin selection’ and what he sees as its failings. He says human kinship is culturally created and about shared interests‚

on the differential survival and reproduction of groups’. For altruism to evolve it must contribute positively towards natural selection. Group selection theory came about to resolve the issues that lied with the inconsistency with traditional evolutionary theory - ‘Natural selection in its simplest form favours selfish individual behaviours over altruistic ones: Individuals who invest the most effort into their own reproduction and survival...have the greatest success of passing on their genes’
