Heads or Tails

I’m going to be talking about the about the Adelie, Gentoo, and Emperor penguins. The Adelie can grow up to 28 inches, they can weigh up to 12 pounds, and has an average lifespan of 20 years. The Adelie has black feathers that cover its head, throat, back, and tail, they also have black and white plumage and a small ring of white feathers surrounding each eye. These birds have been observed for stealing rocks from their neighbors nests, the rocks are used for nests. The birds are very cautious and

divisible into head, trunk and tail.

servals have fairly long tails. This trait is polygenic, because their are a lot of different factors that are taken into account to produce a characteristic like this. It neither harms nor helps the servals that are born with this mutation. However, because of this mutation, the servals with longer tails do not mate with them. As a result, the servals that are born with short tails reproduce together and produce more offspring. At the same time, the servals with long tails reproduce with each other

Did you know that seahorses are the only members of the Hippocampus species? The name Hippocampus is Greek, it means “Horse Sea Monster.” There are thirty-four different species of seahorses. Many people are surprised when they find out that seahorses are a type of fish. They have fins and gills, the defining features of a fish. When seahorses are in a group they are called a herd, just like horses. Seahorses usually live one to five years, but they are becoming endangered because their habitat is

It is seen that the anterior segment of the Dugesia had an approximate starting size of 3.8 mm. On the Day 2, the anterior’s segment grew 0.2 mm. The segment maintained that same size until Day 5, where it grew another 0.2 mm. On Day 6, it is seen that the anterior piece was 4.8 mm, and on Day 7, it was 5.5 mm. The piece continued to grow larger, as on Days 8, 9, and 10, the piece was 5.7 mm, 6.1 mm, and 6.2 mm respectively (Figure 1). Overall, the anterior piece grew 2.4 mm. For the middle segment

environment. It is composed of a series of phospholipids that have a hydrophobic region and a hydrophilic region. These regions are composed of the hydrophilic heads and the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipids, this organization of the polar heads and nonpolar tails allows the heads of the cell to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules while the tails are able to avoid water. The phospholipid bilayer also has many important functions within the cell, it gives the cell shape, provides protection, and

exterminate all. Particle set to work quickly, having been planted on Earth, he made his way to the closest town of Humans. His entire body was aching, the thing's tail was flicking around, waving quietly like a cat's. His ability to consume the power of others and integrate it with himself was what drove him, his code quietly whispering in his head "Consume." Over and Over, egging him on to cause destruction. He agreed with his robotic mind, and trudged onward. Soon, there was news around the entire country

impressed. It does not necessarily mean though that he wants his tummy rubbed. So be careful life you try this. To discover your cat’s true feelings, watch how he holds his tail. The way in which he switches his tail is also a subtle form of communication. Cats are not dogs. When a dog wags his tail, he’s a happy animal. A cat whose tail is flicking rapidly back and forth – the equivalent of a wag – is actually annoyed . . . or the least

Devipriya: Reproductive Specialist (Reproduction, Speciation & Symbiosis) Sarina: Epidemiologist (Human Disease, Vector Control & Virus/Phage) Is it possible to have a bacterial infection that selectively kills males? If so, explain the biology. How has this strange biology propagated throughout the species? The illness does not respond to any known treatments. As biologists, how might you stop the spread of this disease? Devipriya/Sarina Briefly describe the basic biology of Wolbachia. What
