Bio 101- Introduction to Biological Sciences I. Brief History of Biology. List down the contribution(s) of the following philisophers/scientists to the science of Biology Pre-historic people: The earliest humans must have had and passed on knowledge about plants and animals to increase their chances of survival. This may have included knowledge of human and animal anatomy and aspects of animal behavior (such as migration patterns). However‚ the first major turning point in biological knowledge

Basic Biology Genetic diversity describes the genetic differences seen among members of a population. What this means that that every individual on the planet is different from one another in some way. This is because we have either high genetic diversity‚ or a low genetic diversity‚ which is seen through the size of the gene pool from which we came. If we happen to live in a gene pool that has a high concentration of genetic diversity‚ then we are more like to have many different genetic combinations

Marine engineering broadly refers to the engineering of boats‚ ships‚ oil rigs and any other marine vessel or structure. Specifically‚ marine engineering is the discipline of applying engineering sciences‚ mostly mechanical and electrical engineering‚ to the development‚ design‚ operation and maintenance of watercraft propulsion and on-board systems; e.g. power and propulsion plants‚ machinery‚ piping‚ automation and control systems etc. for marine vehicles of any kind like surface ships‚ submarines

from the algae stimulate a virus that causes the tumors. Scientists have been trying to understand the pathology of these tumors. The tumors were most commonly located on the turtle’s heads‚ eyes‚ and flippers. According to Celia Smith‚ UH Mānoa Marine Biology Professor‚ “Many hypotheses were offered to explain the tumors‚ but we kept coming back to the observation that urban reefs—those near dense populations—are the sites with greater numbers of sick turtles. We had no mechanism for this disease”
