CH. 21 Genomics – the study of whole sets of genes and their interactions. Bioinformatics – is the application of computational methods to the storage and analysis of biological data Linkage Map – maps the location of several thousand genetic markers on each chromosome Physical Map – Expresses the distance between genetic markers‚ usually as the number of base pairs along the DNA Metagenomics – DNA from a group of species (a metagenome) is collected from an environmental sample and sequenced

called hyperparasitism. Social parasites is an animal that take advantage of interactions between members of social organisms like ants or termites. Kleptoparasitism is when parasites appropriate food gathered by the host. There are also parasitoids where organisms whose larval growth take place inside or on the surface of another organism‚ resulting in the death of the host. An adelpho-parasite is a parasite which the host species is closely related to the parasite‚ usually being a member of the same

its global context‚ rather than one specific moment in history‚ is the way it is intended to be interpreted and allows historians to recognize reoccurring patterns and themes. World history is meant to be an unbiased account of only one specific species‚ humans (Christian 2003‚ 437-438). Historians often struggle with this challenging topic and tend to produce works extremely biased‚ usually towards stable ‘western civilizations’ and Eurocentric cultures. It is important to note that every community

In this case they are separated from the environment. But another important reason why humans will always depend on the environment is because our lives depend on biodiversity. Meaning that we get clothing‚ medicines‚ food and furniture from other species. Just because that people rely on biodiversity they have to conserve biodiversity and can save it for future generations (www.scienceclarified.com). But before knowing all the damage this can cause to us‚ firstly we should know what biodiversity is

reproduction‚ and such environmental conditions can be temporary or long lasting (HONNAY and BOSSUYT‚ 2005). A plant species can form remnant population when stages of the life-cycle persist over time due the failure to complete the whole life cycle (Eriksson 2000). These remnant populations may play an important ecological role for ecosystem resilience‚ due to positive interactions with other plants and animals (e.g. microbial community and pollinators) and decreasing nutrient variation in disturbed

Control experiments - an experiment in which the variable factors are controlled so as to make it possible to observe the results of varying one factor at a time. Qualitative descriptive research (case studies) – Ultimate goal is to improve practice. This presupposes a cause/effect relationship between behavior and outcome; however‚ this method will ONLY let you hypothesize about variables and describe them. When you move to show correlation among them‚ you’re doing quantitative work. But remember

According to Kiili (2005) digital games satisfy the basic requirements of a learning environment and provide engaging learning experiences for students. There are four kinds of learning outcomes‚ cognitive learning outcomes‚ that games could have. These are divided into motor skills‚ active learning outcomes‚ affective learning outcomes‚ knowledge and cognitive skills‚ and communicative learning outcomes (Wouters‚ van der Spek & Oostendorp‚ 2009).

Descartes‚ who believed that the "intangible nature of the soul" interacted with our machine like bodies. His idea became interpreted as the relation between the mind and body‚ known as dualism. Although these two were distinct‚ they still had an interaction. Almost a hundred years later‚ La Mettrie‚ a physician came down with a fever‚ and noticed that his physical condition affected his mental state as well‚ known as materialism. He wrote a book arguing that the mind was no different from the soul
