Doctors recommend having regular colonoscopy screenings beginning at age 50, because being over that age is the greatest single risk factor for developing colon polyps. In fact, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (http://www.asge.org/patients/patients.aspx?id=396) estimates that one out of every four seniors has at least one polyp. And that excludes those who have other risk factors for developing

Sierra Barrett Research Paper Kimberly Scubacz Biology 1010 The Cannonball Jellyfish It is a sweltering summer day and you are at the beach with your closest friends and family. It is now time for you to get some relief from the sun and hurdle into the cool, salty water. You stand up on the float that you were floating on, leap into the air, bring your knees towards your chest while wrapping your arms around your now balled up body and shout “CANNONBALL!” at the top of your lungs. As you fall into

The class of Gorgonia falls under the Kingdom Animalia and Phylum Cnidaria. Life starts for a Gorgonia when a larvae settles on hard surface in the ocean and begins to grow in a polyp. Polyps grow on other polyps indefinitely, which in the end creates the various shapes of a Gorgonia body. Gorgonias are asexual, so they reproduce by the means of fragmentation/cloning. These creatures do not have a reputation for living long. They are short lived and typically do not die of old age; they die from

and observed that the coral that had been exposed to oil had abnormal polyps, bare branches and severe discoloration”(Etnoyer). After the spill, observations were taken and it has become clear that the reefs were damaged. For example, the evidence states the reefs had abnormal polyps, coral polyps are tiny soft bodied organisms that form the structure of coral reefs when they turn abnormal some of the main functions of the polyp shut down as in the ability to eat, leading to death for the coral reefs

Victoria Bloodworth BISC 163, Section 1 Source Summary 1 Clownfish Mating Clownfish are grouped with other anemone fish in describing their mating behavior. Although these fish may live in groups of up to 6, only two fish in each colony will be engaged in reproduction. The dominant, largest fish in the group will be the female and the next largest will be the male involved in reproducing. This article describes specifically the process of egg laying and will be used to describe the oviparous nature

In the Caribbean Sea, there are more than 700 islands, all have different sizes but have a similar environment, within these islands, and there are 150 species of lizards under the genus name of Anolis. These lizards are widely spread out over the islands in the Caribbean, these Anolis have similar habitat, niche, morphology, and behavior but they are not closely related, which this is defined as the ectomorph. This means we can found several different species living in the same environment, but

1. Vampyroteuthis infernalis falls under the Mollusca phylum, class Cephalopoda, order Vampyromorphida, and family Vampyroteuthidae. 2. Phylum Mollusca (originating from the Latin word for “soft”) includes organisms such as snails, octopi, squids, clams, and oysters. They are organisms that have soft bodies typically composed of a head and foot region. The dorsal epidermal tissue surrounding the body is called the mantle, and some organisms have specialized glands that secrete excretions that form

Randomized patients, whose colonoscopy revealed the presences of adenomatous polyps, viewed a power point presentation that documented the precancerous nature of adenomatous polyps and associated an increased risk with immediate family members. Additionally, a randomized portion of the adenomatous positive population received a one page personalized letter reinforcing the information contained in the Computer Based Education Program (CBEP). Furthermore, each patient received a follow-up telephone

The scientists at this point are unsure which stage came first, and which stage evolved from what. Some believe the Polyp developed first and evolved to the point of producing Medusa. Others believe the Medusa came into existence first and devolved into a Polyp. Both sets of fossils have been found over the years from the same time era, so scientists are unsure. Cnidarians can live in any Marine environment. They can live in freshwater and seawater, but for all groups of Cnidarians very few

morphological differences between a polyp and medusa and how does the respective morphology affect the ecology of these body forms. I will construct a hypothesis, write down my results, I will have a discussion and there after a conclusion. My hypothesis I that morphological differences between polyp and medusa will give them different ecological roles. Discussion According to (Miller and Harley, 2016, p157) many cnidarians have two body forms, namely polyp and medusa. Polyps are usually sessile, they attach
