If all organisms originated in their present forms during a single event, Darwin wondered, why was there a distinctive clustering of similar organisms in different regions of the world? Why were all types of organisms not randomly distributed?
Why would living and fossilized organisms that looked similar be found within the same region?
The Case Study A 37-year-old woman is brought to the emergency room where you are working triage. She has an extremely swollen right lower leg. You see what appears to be an old surgical wound on her mid-calf, with rough scar tissue surrounded by purplish-red skin. She is in an enormous amount of pain. Her husband indicates she had a group of moles removed from the area a littl

Find two different articles from the internet that criticize evolution by natural selection. Provide with the links and write at least a paragraph for each article that discusses the scientific merit of the position the author is taking. Explain why or why not author has used sound scientific reasoning. If so how? If not, how has he/she not? How would a biologist answer the claims t
Part E Using BLAST: Can You Identify a Pathogen from a Nucleotide Sequence?
Using BLAST: Can You Identify a Pathogen from a Nucleotide Sequence? With rapid advances in sequencing technology, the availability of sequences of specific genes and of entire genomes is exploding. These sequences are stored in a number of searchable databases. Comparison of new sequences with sequences of known or assumed function is one of the most widely used bioinformatics

The chemical structure of DNA and its nucleotides (Mastering Bio Ch. 15/16 Q7A)
The chemical structure of DNA and its nucleotides The DNA double helix is composed of two strands of DNA; each strand is a polymer of DNA nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases. The structure and orientation of the two strands are important to understanding DNA replication. Drag the labels to their appropriate
Show how populations of multiple phenotypes originate
Construct a SRF model to explain the divergence of liverworts from other plant species. Your model should show: 1. Show how populations of multiple phenotypes originate 2. Show how reproductive barriers reduce gene flow between populations 3. Show when stomata originated in ancient plants.
Possible structures (more are likely): liverwort ancestor, liverwort
