Ever wonder how evolution comes to be? How some species win and others lose? Evolution has many different ways of making organisms all better‚ faster‚ and more adept to live. Four big categories of the mechanisms of evolution are natural selection‚ gene flow‚ genetic drift‚ and mutations. The majority of the time‚ nature goes by a trial and error system that can take up many centuries to come up with a change that is beneficial. Natural selection is the process in which nature removes its mistakes

Genetically modified organisms or as most of us know them by GMOs. These are organisms where a gene is purposely changed or added artificially to make it more appealing. Humans have been genetically enhancing anything we can. Many people are for GMOs while others are against it.

Assignment p1 This assignment is based on P1 where I will outline the cells structure and will also portray the main activities of the organelles. The cell is the main structural and functional group of all living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life which is a form of living things‚ and is often called the building block of life. Cells are grouped together to form tissues which all have specialized functions. There are many structures to a cell which all carry out different activities
