New York Times Project Biology 113 Topic: Synthetic Biology vs. Natural selection   Synthetic Biology vs. Natural Selection Darwin first introduced the idea of evolution in his publication of The Origin of Species‚ on November 24th‚ 1859 (Campbell‚ 2005‚ p. 438). This opposed many traditional views as it was generally accepted that the beginning inhabitants of the world had no mutations in their genetic composition. His publication had two major points. The first being the modern

"BIODIVERSITY" Biodiversity‚ as defined by E.O. Wilson‚ "is meant to be all inclusive- it’s the genetic based variation of living organisms at all levels‚ from the variety of genes in populations of single species‚ through species‚ on up to the array of natural ecosystems." This includes plants‚ animals‚ insects‚ fungi‚ bacteria‚ and all microorganisms. All of these things create what is known as a web. These things interact with each other in some way there for they depend on one another throughout their

A natural disaster is the happening of a dangerous hazardous event‚ which can cause damages for the societies (Petrucci‚ 2012). Floods are one of the most common natural disasters over the world and they have occasional devastating influences in developed as well as developing countries (Ahern‚ 2005). Recently the floods increasingly happen over the world in general and specially in Australia. For example‚ a sequence of floods in Queensland in early December 2010 did happen and led to a damage of

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution puts forward a statement‚ ‘Survival of the fittest’. This is widely considered true‚ but in reality truth is a slight variation of this‚ more commonly known as natural selection. The survivors are the ones who adapt best to their environment and are then able to reproduce. This means that there genes carry on through the generations and we gradually see the preferred characteristics for survival become more common. Over time the human race will become more and

Exploring Natural Resources Lesson What is around you? Examine your surroundings‚ write down everything that is living or was once living. Think about what you are wearing‚ where you are sitting‚ what you are writing on‚ etc. Types of Natural Resources Resources that occur naturally in nature are known as natural resources. Natural resources can be found in our environment. The environment are the conditions that surround us. Types of Natural Resources Natural resources

Both natural and artificial selection refer to processes that determine which genetic traits pass from one generation to the next one. Artificial selection is the process in which humans decide which traits will show up in future generations. Natural selection is the process in which the environment is responsible to pick the traits in order for an individual to adapt and survive to and specific environment. The differences between these two processes is the way that the traits are selected. Some

The strict application of Natural Law goes against common sense Natural law is a theory that if we use reason‚ we can apply an eternal and absolute moral law. Aquinas believed that the application of this law can help us discover our purpose and achieve it while producing a perfect world. However there are those who believe that natural law can often create controversy and defy common sense. An advantage of Natural Law is how easy it can be made universal for all. It can be used as a universal
