Virtual Systematics Lab: Introduction to Systematics Worksheet Learning Goal: To learn how biologists classify species based on their evolutionary relationships. Prerequisite Knowledge: Before beginning this lab‚ you should be familiar with these concepts: why biologists today use the three-domain system of classification how evolutionary trees depict biologists’ understandings about the evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms Introduction: Almost every place on Earth‚ from the surface

The Grand Canyon was once a part of a continental collision about 1.7 billion years ago when volcanic islands collided in the south west of America‚ where the North American plate is now. Mountain building occurred about 75 million years ago when the uplift of almost 2 miles in the region‚ (called a Laramide orogeny event) started and created the Colorado Plateau. The rocks in the Grand Canyon were igneous or sedimentary rocks before the collision of tectonic plates. The collision pushed the plates

Introduction East African Rift Valley is one of the most extensive rifts on the Earth ’s surface; the valley is about 6‚400 kilometers long‚ averages 48 to 64 kilometers wide and has a depth from a few hundred to several thousand meters. The huge‚ brittle tectonic plates that make up Earth ’s crust normally move only a few centimeters per year‚ not fast enough to be noticeable in a human lifetime. However‚ in the East African Rift Valley‚ this tectonic motion is happening with remarkable speed

suggests that different types of photosynthetic cyanobacteria underwent endosymbiosis that evolved into different types of photosynthetic eukaryotes (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2012). During eukaryotic evolution‚ red algae and green algae led to five supergroups of eukaryotes through a process of secondary endosymbiosis (Campbell et al.‚ 2008). Three basic photosynthetic pigments: chlorophylls‚ carotenoids‚ and phycobilins‚ each absorb light at different wavelengths due to different colors and different

The Smashing Pumpkins have been one of the most successful bands to come out of the alternative scene of the late 1980s-early 1990s. With singer Billy Corgan’s distinctive voice as the cornerstone of their sound‚ the band has a reputation for being highly experimental with their instrumentation. Hitting it big with their albums Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness‚ their music has only gotten more creative. Corgan made history with the band’s latest undertaking‚ Teargarden by
