Hypothesis: If the new species has a vertebrae, then it will be located in between the crocodilians and the birds on he cladogram.
Methods: After forming our hypothesis, we looked up each gene sequence separately. We wrote down the top three most similar animals per gene sequence, and found what kinds of animals each were (crocodilian and bird, in this case). When looking at our collection of data, we recorded how many of each type of animals each gene was related to, and ...
is what we see. It can be thought of either as a particle, (the photon), or as a wave. The photon we can easily think of as a small dot travelling through space at the speed of . Each photon has a particular colour or energy. But how do we think of as a wave? For this we need to know that is also an "Electro-magnetic field" -- a combination of el...
What Is General (GAS) General is a theory formulated in 1936 by Dr. Hans Seyle, a celebrated figure in the field of stress research. Gas depicts the process of prolonged exposure to stress by separating behaviors into 3 stages. The Alarm Reaction, Resistance and Exhaustion Stage. This behavioral model is such a valuable tool in the study of str...
1. Introduction Coumarin 1 and Sodium fluorescein are two dyes which absorb and emit light in the visible region. By using a spectrophotometer we are recording an absorption spectrum and then determining the molar decadic absorption coefficients, which will be used later to interpret and analyse the fluorescence spectra. For fluorescence spectra, t...
can be found in the SE sky in autumn, especially October. A dark night is especially helpful because many faint stars make up . This will help to make the fainter stars stand out because its hard enough to see a shape in . Up and to the west of , pegasus can be found. Down and to the east of aquarius, capricorn can be found. portrays a man or b...
Why do some parasites kill the host they depend upon while others coexist with their host? Two prime factors determine parasitic virulence: the manner in which the parasite is transmitted, and the evolutionary history of the parasite and its host. Parasites which have colonized a new host species tend to be more virulent than parasites which h...
