Introduction to Biology‚ Lesson 3 Essay Questions: Compare and contrast directional selection and disruptive selection‚ and provide an example of each. Both of these show the distribution of phenotypes. In directional selection‚ the distribution of phenotypes forms a "bell curve." Selection against one of the extreme phenotypes causes the distribution to move in one direction or the other. An example might be plants whose flower color is determined by incomplete dominance: white‚ pink‚ or red

Bacterial Biology █ BRIAN D. HOYLE An understanding of the fundamentals of bacterial biology is critical to bacteriologists and other forensic investigators attempting to identify potential biogenic pathogens that may be exploited as agents in biological warfare or by bioterrorists. Fundamentals of Bacterial Biology Bacteria are one-celled prokaryotic organisms that lack a true nucleus (i.e.‚ a nucleus defined by a membrane). Bacteria maintain their genetic material‚ deoxyribonucleic

Biology Notes 1.02 Sometimes a practice or belief claims to be science but does not follow the scientific method or cannot be proven reliable through experimentation. These practices are examples of pseudoscience‚ which literally means "fake science." Charms‚ astrology = stars‚ and phrenology= reading the bump on skull 1.03 * In the mid 1600s in the Netherlands‚ the scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek developed the first known microscope using a single magnifying lens.
