Evolution: What is evolution? Over time‚ through millions of years plants and animals have changed over time‚ in order to increase their chances of survival as well as to adapt to their environment. Evolution doesn’t happen overnight‚ in a couple of days‚ weeks‚ months‚ or years. It is a slow process that takes a very long time to notice. “The word evolution can be used in many ways‚ but in biology‚ it means descent with modification. In other words‚ small modifications that occur at the genetic

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to validate the effectiveness of different types of disinfectants and antibiotics on microbes. It was hypothesized that antibiotic products work better than regular products such as soap‚ hand sanitizer etc. According to the handout that was provided in this laboratory work‚ it was believed that many of the environs occupied by individuals are exposed to different types of microbes and methods of eradicating such microbes has been studied over the years

Virus and Bacteria Virus - A virus is a capsule of protein that contains genetic material. A virus cannot reproduce on its own; it must infect a living cell to grow. Bacteria - Bacteria are one-celled organisms that live on their own.
