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 ...
For more than 100 years, it has been known that two adjacent cities are generally warmer than the surrounding areas. This region of city warmth, known as an urban heat island, can influence the concentration of air pollution. The urban heat island is formed when industrial and urban areas are developed and heat becomes more abundant. In rural ar...
Computers affect the lives of nearly everyone living today. No matter where it is that someone calls their home; there is almost a certainty that they have some sort of daily interaction with computers or some kind of computer driven device. Every morning, millions of people of every field imaginable go off to work and start up their computers. The...
Venus flytrap What does it eat? Flies and other flying insects supplement its nutrition from the soil on which it lives. Sometimes if there is a large it will eat a small frog or toad. The Venus flytrap lives on soils that are poor in nutrients, and in particular nitrogen compounds, such as nitrates, that the roots can absorb. The insect "diet"...
The current information technology mediums, such as the Internet pose exciting new opportunities for researchers and educators and, at the same time, present numerous questions and challenges. One of the current frustrations of many faculty includes their limited conceptual grasp of how these technologies can benefit themselves and their students....
INTRODUCTION Imagine going fishing on a cool Autumn day, the trees are all different shades of orange, brown and red and the birds are singing their beautiful songs, but their is a serious problem because when you arrive at the river all plant and animal life are gone. This is by no means a recent phenomenon. This is due to the effects of acid ro...
I feel like that the only way to truly fathom just how vast the universe is, or to successfully describe the insane enormity of it, is to illustrate just how small and insignificant humanity is. After all, everything we ever do, say, or experience is merely measured against the yardstick of human endeavor. In this universe, there are supposedly 100...
A comet is generally considered to consist of a small, sharp nucleus embedded in a nebulous disk called the coma. American astronomer Fred L. Whipple proposed in 1949 that the nucleus, containing practically all the mass of the comet, is a 'dirty snowball' conglomerate of ices and dust. Major proofs of the snowball theory rest on various data. For...
After the recent discovery of single-cell life forms from mars were discovered contained in meteorite that crashed to the earth 12 YEARS AGO. I have many doubts to believe that it is the case. There is still no proof after all these years that the sightings of flying sources moving across the sky at tremendous speeds do really exist in the first pl...
(After a lot of reading and hunting around on the net, I found a great deal of information on this topic. I had never really researched on it before so wanted to make sure that calculations agreed from report to report. Most of them did so I will base my answer on these different reports. This subject is extremely interesting, scary and a bit of a...
Name: Suzaine Bernadette M. Estor Section: MLS-2B Define the following terms: Electronegativity - is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons (Clark,2020). Tends to be more specific on how much atom to attract on a bonding pair of electrons or keep the electrons to get closer to the element in a covalent bond....
has been a reoccurring phenomenon for centuries. Man has only started to realize how much of the worlds weather is effected by it. The term refers to an irregular warming of the seas surface. During the last 40 years there have been 10 significant occurrences. Most affecting the coast of South America. Water temperatures increase along the...
Often times, scientists only have a small amount of DNA to deal with when doing genetic research or studies. In these situations, scientists can do one of several things. One is to just try to work with it anyway, but this is nearly impossible (depending on how much there is). Ther are a couple other processes they can use, or they can use PCR....
In the United States in 1995 alone, 43,063 died from . It is the number two cancer killer and the number one cancer in females ages 15 to 54. On average if a woman gets this disease, their life expectancy drops nineteen and a half years. This cancer is within the top three cancers of all women above the age of 15, and comprises 6% of all health car...
(IVF) is a procedure that offers hope to couples who otherwise are unable to conceive. This process is important to infertile couples because it gives them another chance of conceiving a child. In order for normal pregnancy to occur, an egg is released from an ovary and unites with a sperm in a fallopian tube. However, during the process of IVF,...
