Gonorrhea is the second most prevalent sexually transmitted disease in the world (Unemo 2011). Throughout time this disease has prevailed against different antibiotic defenses. This evolutionary advantage has allowed gonorrhea to continue its survival and transmission into different hosts. Understanding what causes the disease is important because what causes the symptoms in gonorrhea-infectected hosts can explain why this disease is successful. Taking a look at the evolutionary history in gonorrhea

The purpose of this study was to compare the insects of the meadow with insects of the wooden area. Hadded (2001) previously conducted an experiment on the effect of plant richness on the insect community in the meadows. He found that three type of results were present; some created abundance, some were unaffected and some had a positive effect on the plant’s richness. It was found that insects do contribute to its community and help with the growth of its habitat. The habitat in the meadow area

ABSTRACT This paper is written about which theories regarding the dynamics of battering spouses. In this report you will be able to identify the theory’s I have linked to believe may be part or contribute to the abuser. There are numerous theories to explain why men batter women, in fact, there are so many theory’s in this textbook that are devoted to explaining them. As you will read, we were directed to research outside of our content. Even though no one theory prevails, professionals should be

Many philosophers have said that the ‘Eyes are the windows to the soul.’ The eyes can show a person’s true personality. Not their clothes, facial expressions, or how they hold themselves, but looking into another’s eyes will show one’s soul. But what if their personality was not found in their eyes, but on their body in the form of a mutation? As found in Black Hole, the town’s teens have contracted an STD they call “the bug.” Each teen that acquires it grows an external mutation. This can especially

Beauty standards are portrayed everywhere: on magazines, social media, ads, commercials, and even flaunted among peers. While the ideals are supposed to promote health awareness, fitness motivation, and self love, it unfortunately results in many unfavorable consequences. Women are constantly “penalized for not being beautiful and at the same time are stigmatized, even pathologized, for not feeling beautiful, for having low self-esteem, for engaging in behaviors like dieting and excessive exercising

Genotypic Resistance Testing Most genotypic antiretroviral DR testing (GART) methods are based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the target gene followed by sequencing by automated capillary electrophoresis. For the purpose of this dissertation, unless otherwise specified, genotypic resistance refers to resistance detected by PCR and sequencing. GART was also used at an early stage of ARV development: Mutations associated with AZT resistance in culture, namely D67N, K70R, T215Y/F

Charles Robert Darwin was a British man who became one of the greatest contributors to the study of evolution. He was a naturalist who was able to develop a theory of evolution based on biological changes that he witnessed occurring in varieties of samples on his travels all around the world. Charles Darwin is valuable in science history, simply because he was the first geologists who had come the closest for closing the gap on how and why biological changes occurred. The naturalist and geologist

Fossils are considered to be evolutionary markers that records a lineages of creatures across time — providing a distinct way to compare different species. When Darwin set forth on a journey to the Galapagos Islands, he discovered many aspects of evolution. During his expedition, he discovered the fossils of creatures which closely resembled the modern armadillos. At that time, Darwin did not possess any tools or resources to predict the phylogenetic lineages and the evolutionary history of the armadillos

An evolution depends on an organism’s success at catching the attention of a mate, due to the fact that without a mate, an evolution cannot occur. Furthermore, a biological evolution makes reference to the cumulative changes in a population over time. The way it occurs is through species’ genes going through mutation and recombine in order for reproduction to occur. Therefore, a sexual reproduction must occur is by combining half of its genes with another organism’s genes. To put it differently,

Discussion: In this lab, I was mostly successful in confirming my hypotheses. In the first experiment, I hypothesized that if there are more children per generation, then it will increase the rate of evolution. I believed this to be true because there would be more opportunity for mutations. I chose this originally because of a statistical approach. However, after thinking about this week’s readings, it is very comparative to an argument that Dawkins made. His argument was that the more humans reproduce
