which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism. Through heredity‚ variations exhibited by individuals can accumulate and cause some species to evolve. The study of heredity in biology is called genetics‚ which includes the field of epigenetics. Both hereditary and hormones affect human behavior but in different ways. It is a combination of these two factors which results in “normal” behavior. Heredity and hormones work together

Question: How do both humans and rose bushes exhibit common characteristics? As the first chapter discusses‚ biology is the study of life and of living things. There are many things on this planet that can be placed into this category‚ many organisms that share the same characteristics. I never gave much thought to this concept until the question was asked here. Plants and human beings‚ in fact‚ all things living‚ must possess certain things in order to live and to grow. Living

Acid Rain Done By: Francis Lolas Teacher: Christine Due Date: 19/9/2012 Grade: 10 MYP 5 A There are many possible solutions to the problem that we are facing nowadays that is Acid Rain. Acid rain is formed from two main gases that are released in the atmosphere which are sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide. I will talk later about the solutions for acid rain and the effect of this rain and what are the two forms of acid deposition. I have also watched some videos about acid

IODINE TEST FOR STARCH The Iodine test is used to test for the presence of starch. Iodine solution — iodine dissolved in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide — reacts with the starch producing a purple black color. The colour can be detected visually with concentrations of iodine as low as 0.00002M at 20°C. However the intensity of the colour decreases with increasing temperature and with the presence of water-miscible‚ organic solvents such as ethanol. Also the test cannot be done at very low

Origins of the Name The word‚ Aluminium originates from the ancient Latin word for alum‚ alumen‚ which is potassium aluminum sulfate‚ meaning “bitter salt”. We pronounce the element of aluminium’s name as follows‚ al-yuh-min-ee-uhm‚ which conforms to the IUPAC pronunciation of the word‚ with the regular ‘ium’ ending of majority of the elements of the periodic table. The History Aluminium was first discovered in 1825‚ by early discoverer‚ Hans Christian Oersted in Denmark. Before this time‚ alum

INTRODUCTION: These experiments helped us learn the factors that were involved in the growth of the bacteria that increased our study towards their genetic‚ physical and metabolic characteristics. We used Escherichia coli and Bacteriophage T7 to identify and analyze their identical life cycle and replication that was involved in their process of growth. As‚ growth for any bacteria
