the birth rate per capita is lower than in a population solely made up of parthenogenetic females (Maynard Smith‚ 1978). This means parthenogenetic populations can produce twice as many progeny compared to populations with males (assumed 1:1 sex ratio)‚ as each parthenogenetic female in the population can bare progeny. This is called the “twofold cost” of sexual reproduction (Maynard Smith‚ 1978‚ Morran‚ Parmenter & Phillips‚ 2009‚ Tobler & Schlupp‚ 2010). With the ability to reproduce in greater

“Tell Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe Throughout the short short "Tell Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe‚ we get inside the mind of a mad man who is plotting to kill someone he claims to love. Some may question the possibility of this‚ but the man narrating the “Tell Tale Heart” surely believed that he loved the man but not his “evil vulture eye”. He himself couldn’t even predict the madness that was about to fall upon him by his own hand simply because of the look of an odd eye. Afterall‚ he did

Falling Under the Influence Art can inspire brilliant ranges of emotion‚ and for Dorian Gray‚ it inspired more than emotion alone. A single portrait held the power to influence the track of Dorian‘s life‚ as did other forms of art that were equally as powerful. In The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde‚ the main character‚ Dorian Gray‚ morphs from a philanthropic boy to a pompous monster‚ brainwashed by the arts. He gradually becomes obsessed with the science of beauty and‚ more specifically

Having dealt at some length with Uranus ’s progeny‚ Hesiod turns his attention to the children of Night. Night required no consort‚ but in a series of births by parthenogenesis‚ she produced numerous offspring. Among others‚ these included Fate or Fortune‚ End‚ Death‚ Sleep‚ Dreams‚ the three Fates

Similarly in “Mental Cases”‚ Owen conveys the concern of pity for the youth that was sacrificed in WW1 for no result‚ just lost of self control. Owen uses oxymoron to describe the surviving youth as ‘hilarious‚ hideous’. Oxymoron highlights the image of these mentals as ‘hilarious’ but ‘hideous’ almost ironic. Owen then rhetorically ask ‘but who

Genetic maps can be used in the process of localizing genes and studying the distribution of genes on chromosomes and in the genome. Skill: Factual recall 40) What is recombination frequency? Answer: Recombination frequency is the percentage of recombinant progeny‚ that is‚ the percentage of the progeny in which the arrangement of alleles has switched compared to their arrangement in the parents. This is taken to be a measure of the genetic distance between genes and is used to create genetic maps. Skill: Factual recall 41)

With stem cell research you can discover hundreds if not thousands of medicinal uses for embryotic stem cells‚ “In the beginning there is the stem cell; it is the origin of an organism’s life. It is a single cell that can give rise to progeny that differentiate into any of the specialized cells of embryonic or adult tissues‚” Dr. Stewart Sell.
