1.) Were the North American megafauna wiped out by early human colonizers? The Overkill hypothesis is of the Clovis crossing into a “virgin continent” (The America’s) and wiped out the megafauna due to overhunting. First developed by Paul Martin in the 1960’s‚ Clovis started to occupy North and South America 13‚500-12‚500 years ago; soon after early sites were established 17 genera of North and South American megafauna went extinct between 13‚250-12‚900 (other species such as ground sloths become

The Forbidden Fruit It seems like the greatest anecdotes revolve around an apple; Adam and Eve damned all of mankind for an apple and an apple inspired Newton’s whole life work. The scrumptious Frisbee-shaped apple pie that Gary Soto’s six-year old self snatches is almost worth spending the rest of eternity in hell. The author compels the reader that the rush and risk of stealing appears pleasuring enough when you enjoy it‚ but guilt fills the conscience when it vanishes. The use of diction‚ imagery

Juno has three solar panels that receive energy from the sun to power the spacecraft. Juno also got its name from the Romans. My goals are to determine just what Jupiter consists of by using the Juno Panel. What is the purpose of this mission? With the power of Juno we can

absence of one in the prokaryotes; Eukaryotes also have distinct membrane-bound organelles‚ while prokaryotes do not (Stanier et al.‚ 1970a; Mauseth‚ 2009). It is after discovery and examination of these organelles that first led to the Endosymbiont Hypothesis or Endosymbiont Theory‚ as it is sometimes called (both terms are used throughout). In this essay we shall look at the history of the theory‚ how it was formed‚ who the most influential collaborators were‚ and how it is applied to the evolution

Stanley Yeung Results and Discussion Biology Lab 017 04/02/12 Marigold Lab The Purpose of this was to analyze how the Marigold plants grew under certain conditions. The Objective was to determine the amount of growth these plants went through by measuring the changes in the selected variables. The Variables that we selected were stem length‚ root length‚ the amount of leaves that grew on a plant and the overall size of the plant measured in height. For this experiment‚ we had three test

my favorite fruit‚ the watermelon. Because I loved it so much‚ I was determined to grow my own. When I told my mother‚ she laughed. She told me that it would never grow‚ yet I refused to be disillusioned. Lacking my mother’s approval‚ I turned instead to my grandmother. She told me that if I wanted to grow watermelons‚ then I should do it. I can still hear her words‚ "Jeanne Marie‚ if you want something in life‚ you have to work for it. If you don’t chase your dreams‚ they’ll fly away." She

Compare the Social Brain Hypothesis and the Visual Specialisation Hypothesis The aim of this essay is to investigate the two major theories trying to explain why do primates have large brains. Even since the seminar study of Jerison in 1973 it has been acknowledged that primate brains are unusually large for their body size. There are three main groups of theories giving more or less persuasive explanations of the evolution of large brains and high cognitive skills in primates. The first group

Introduction: The common fruit fly‚ Drosophila melanogaster‚ is mainly used for genetic studies. Fruit flies are easily cultured and can reproduce in as little as two weeks at the proper temperature. (Book) The purpose of this experiment was to study the transfer of genes between homologous chromosomes by crossing over. During our experiment we studied three X-chromosome genes: white (w)‚ miniature (m)‚ and forked (f). To begin this experiment we started with four types of flies; sepia‚ dumpy‚ wild
