    Evolution is something that can be taken into different meanings, from the way you live. Some people can accept evolution and some can’t. The meaning of evolution is the way a different animal or species came to be, and how they are linked to a different of species that all share a common ancestor (an introduction to evolution). There is a lot of evidence to shows that evolution is can be proven like DNA Sequences, Fossil Records, Cladograms, and analogous/homologous structures, because there are

    Arctic tundra is found across northern Alaska, Canada, and Siberia. This biome has long cold winters and short cool summers. The Arctic Tundra containtains many life forms, such as, the Arctic Hare. The Arctic Hare is a one of the largest hares. It has a white coat during the winter and a brownish coat during the summer. The thick fur that provides plenty of warmth during the winter and camouflage from predators. There large hind feet allow them to travel forty miles-per-hour across the snow. The

    Homology is a central concept within the field of phylogenetics. It represents the idea of similarity in structure or anatomical position between organisms, indicating a common origin. Homology is traditionally contrasted with analogy; the similarity of function in two structures that have contrasting origins. However, it is now more common for the concept to be contrasted against homoplasy; a character shared by a set of species that their common ancestor does not possess. The concept of homology

    An advantage of considering topology is that it is stable under deformations, and can therefore be said to be insensitive to errors introduced in the sampling []. To see the utility of the topological approach, and in particular the utility of homology to multidimensional data analysis, consider the following example, first describe by Scott (1992). Take random samples in R3 from two different populations. Suppose that these sample points form data clouds, similar to the shape of 2-dimensional

    (#4) CDKN1A stands for Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor 1A. Alternative names for CDKN1A include the following abbreviations: CDKI, CIP1, SDI1, Waf1, CAP20, CDKN1, p21WAF, p21, p21Clip1, Melanoma Differentiation-Associated Protein 6, also known as MDA-6, and many more. (#2) CDKN1A is a protein coding gene. The purpose CDKN1A serves in the cell is that it works as cell cycle regulator at the G1 checkpoint and is responsible for the cell cycle arrest at that checkpoint. CDKN1A encodes a potential

    the long human’ life span results in the lack of information about the genomic aspect of these diseases. In order to overcome these constraints, researchers use non-humans’ models to study human diseases. Indeed, many studies have revealed proteins homology among organisms. Proteins that share the same family and functions are categorized as protein domains. These

    universally accepted, except for a few people that think otherwise. For a theory to become so widely known and established, there has to have been evidence to back it up. The most prominent pieces of evidence for evolution are often cited as biogeography, homology, analogy, direct evidence, and paleontology. Each of these pieces of evidence provide indication for evolution. Biogeography is the study of where life is found and where their descendants were living in the past. Before Darwin, all scientists

    questions of convergent evolution, and homoplasy is still a valid argument because of several weak congruities (Fletcher). However, the preferred explanation for Type I evolution stands for common ancestry. Primary structure and overall amino acid homology is seen between flounder and sculpin, suggesting evidence for a synapomorphic trait. This is evident from a similar beginning N-terminus amino acid sequence in both species – across the sculpin’s blood serum proteins and flounder skin AFPs: Met-Asp-Ala-Pro-Ala

    Around 5 million people worldwide are affected annually by the influenza A virus (IAV), with infection resulting in severe morbidity and sometimes death. Although effective IAV vaccines exist, annual influenza epidemics occur due to its ability to quickly evolve new strains. Therefore, IAV remains a serious public health threat as evidenced by the recent pandemics involving swine H1N1 and avian H7N9. Thus, there is a vital need to develop more effective vaccines against influenza. Normally, vaccines

    The three foundational assumptions of criminal profiling are homology assumption, behavioral consistency, and behavioral differentiation. These theories are connected to each other and work together. The homology assumption is the assumption that criminal behavior that is similar means offenders will have similar characteristics as well. Behavioral consistency means that an offender’s behavior when committing crimes will be consistent. Behavioral differentiation means that the behavior between offenders
