Biology Experiments Sex protein is as essential part of the female reproductive system. Vitellogenin is a protein found in the liver of female chickens (hen) which impacts the production of estrogen. Vitellogenin enters the hen's circulatory system Continue Reading...
There are about 6 billion nucleotide letters of a particular sequence in a human cell. The full set is known as the genome. DNA information is found in units called genes. One gene codes roughly for one protein. The proteins perform most of the func Continue Reading...
Biology Questions & Posts (01) Biomes and Diversity - Extinction is a natural selection process. Should humans strive to preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? Why should humans be concerned with the extinction rate? D Continue Reading...
Biology Species Species D In evolutionary biology, parsimony is similar to the Ockham's razor hypothesis, or that nature will use the simplest method possible to effect change over time. Phylogenetic systematics is the manner in which biologists Continue Reading...
Biology of Behavior The biology of human behavior is rooted in the fact that human beings are animals, in the sense that they are biological creatures and are the result of millions of years of evolution with a physical make up that forms us into cr Continue Reading...
Additionally, plants can house animals or provide prey animals with cover and camouflage to prevent them from being over-hunted. They also help create a more sustainable ecosystem. The presence of plants moderates the temperature and mitigates the e Continue Reading...
Instead, it depends on pollination. Pollination refers to the process where the male gametophyte, in the form of pollen, travels to the female gametophyte, in the form of the seed. The pollen can travel over a much greater distance than sperm. This Continue Reading...
Biology Unit A punnett square is a two by two square which is used to predict the possible phenotypes of offspring, and its ratio. (Krough) b) The male and female gametes contain only one set of alleles. (Krough) c) The genes of the parents go on Continue Reading...
Most fungi can also reproduce through sexual reproduction both with the same organism mixing gametes and with reproduction between two separate organisms. The cells of many fungi are primarily copies of each other, without differentiation of organs Continue Reading...
3) A seed is really a small plant embryo, surrounded by a nutritional layer known as the endosperm, all of which is covered in a hard protective shell called the seed coating. Fertilization occurred; all that is needed is the proper environment to Continue Reading...
Biology Systematics is one of the main fields of study in biology wherein the historical relationships of groups of biological organisms are studied. Through systematics, scientists are able to identify organisms existing in this world in accordance Continue Reading...
Given a mosquito's vastly shorter life span, preventing the spread of the infection to more human hosts greatly reduces the number of viable parasites in existence (CDC 2009). 10) There are several reasons that viral infections are more difficult Continue Reading...
Biology Summary A population of grasshoppers in the Kansas prairie has two color phenotypes, green and brown. Typically, the prairie receives adequate water to maintain healthy, green grass. Assume a population of birds that eats grasshoppers moves Continue Reading...
While imported species can be controlled to a degree by Governmental regulation, unintentional imports are a different matter. Garth mentions the example of the brown tree snake that stowed away on ships and military equipment during World War II. D Continue Reading...
Biology Species within a given population will differentiate due to a sudden and dramatic geological or climatological change. If a volcano erupted on an island like one of those on Vanuatu, the populations of local geckos would start to differentia Continue Reading...
Biology A Computer and a Tree The biggest difference between a computer and a tree is that a tree is a living organism, while a computer may seem alive at some times, but it is really an inanimate object. It does not reproduce, and it does not go d Continue Reading...
Moreover, it was unknown which specific chemical fertilizers would be more conducive to plant growth in Brassica rapa in particular. Another possible reason for the unexpected results is differential application of the fertilizer. For this research, Continue Reading...
Living organisms are subdivided into 5 major kingdoms, including the Monera, the Protista (Protoctista), the Fungi, the Plantae, and the Animalia. Each kingdom is further subdivided into separate phyla or divisions. Generally "animals" are subdivided Continue Reading...
