While most of the gas supplied to Union Gas is from western Canada‚ some gas is supplied from other sources‚ including the United States and Ontario producers. While the gas from these sources has a similar analysis‚ it is not entirely the same. The table below outlines the typical components of natural gas on the Union Gas system and the typical ranges for these values (allowing for

Chapter ten focused primarily on evolution and natural selection. Evolution are the changes in traits‚ phenotypes‚ of groups of organisms over time. Darwin was influenced by Lamark and Malthus‚ who were other scientists during his time. Lamar believed that acquired characters are passed on to offspring. For example‚ giraffe necks would change for “adaptation”. Giraffes would be born with longer necks. Malthus believed that populations try to go beyond support capacity. He believed they go through
