Introduction- Throughout the history of man kind one question has been constantly ASKED and never seems to get a definite answer. The question is who are we? And where do we come from? Rather then spark a religious verse science debate and draw a very emotional line in society we let everyone believe what they want to believe. However regardless of what you want to believe facts are facts and science is science. After going through the Diversity one, two and three labs many things became evident that were somewhat unclear before. One of these things is that we , as man may argue about where we came form and when we got here but we are mere children in the history of planet earth and mere infants in the life that has existed here. The goal of this lab was to understand and be familiar with the millions of organisims that live on earth everday and hiow they got here. The goal was to understand how certain species died out, how they evolved to survive and how organisims have managed to make it millions of years on this planet. This lab takes a look at the three domains Bacteria, Archea, and Eukarya, which contain animals, protists, fungi, bacteria, and plants. And after our observations from the lab me and mark grey my partner concluded many concrete facts about life, evolution, traits and survival.

Observations- Throughout the lad we viewed many different organisims and many different traits. This lab takes a look at the three domains Bacteria, Archea, and Eukarya, which contain animals, protists, fungi, bacteria, and plants. And throughout the lab we uncovered what makes each plant different and what makes each animal in a set kingdom different. The results of our observations were recorded and analyzed from the results that follow. Observations of species and their traits that came from either divergent or convergent evolution were recorded and analysis of each kingdom

    In the Kingdom Exploration lab, five different organisms were observed under a microscope, (Yeast, Paramecium, Elodea, Daphnia, Euglena). Each of these organisms is apart of one of the six kingdoms, (Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Fungi, Protista, Plantae, and Animalia) which are apart of three domains, (Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya). In this lab, however, none of the organisms observed were archaea or bacteria. Also, all the organisms were eukaryotes, not prokaryotes, which are organisms without a nucleus and a single chromosome (a double-stranded DNA located in an area of the cell) instead. In the lab, organism one is a very small dark green leaf from a small plant. Under the microscope, there is a lot of chlorophyll, floating around inside the rectangular cells. Organism one…

    From my Blast results the most similar gene sequence to the gene of interest was taeniopugia guttata that had a max score of 2313 and an Ident % of 100. As well as it had an e-value of 0, which means that it’s closely related to the gene of interest. This species is located on the birds’ branch on the cladogram because it has features of a bird. From my data collected of Gene sequence the second most related gene sequence was from meleagris gallopavo . It had amax score of 1781 and an 92% Ident and an e-value of 0.…

    a. Round 1 = white bead representing lichens. Our laboratory reading for the experiment stated that lichens are instrumental in the development and needs for all species. The text stated, “Lichens play a part in the creation of soils from which plants can obtain nutrients. Like all living organisms, lichens need nutrients and energy to grow. Nutrients may be obtained from the air including dust, water, and from the substrate organisms grows on obtaining energy through photosynthesis, which is the role of the algal partner. They may also be incidentally fertilized hybrid and insect dung” (Bottcher & Rex, 2012, p. 43). With the information obtained from the reading, without lichens, bees, trees, flowers, and humans will all have negative repercussions.…

    This hands-on laboratory exercise is a highly simplified model that attempts to simulate evolution by means of natural selection. Predators will act as agents of selection on their prey, a species whose members vary in color. We will assume that color is an inherited trait. Small squares of paper will represent the prey, which will be spread out of a piece of printed colored fabric that will serve as the habitat. The predators (you) will prey upon the population, with the surviving members reproducing and passing along the genes for color.…

    The purpose of the lab I have conducted is to analyze how altering the finch’s environment would affect the evolution of the finches by isolating each population of finches from each other, placing them each on a different island. This influence on the species by the environment is called allopatric speciation. One population of the finches that are located Darwin Island, which is 1 km, and the other population of finches are located on Wallace Island, which is about half the size of Darwin island. I have altered the environments of the finches. For instance I doubled the size of the clutch, beak and population of the finches in Darwin’s island, since Darwin’s Island is about doubled the size of Wallace Island. I also increased the amount of seeds available as well as the variety of seed available to the finches on Darwin Island.…

    Darwin's hypothesis of Natural Selection has three tenets: 1. There requirements to a hereditary variety among the populace 2. The quality must be passed on by hereditary means from parent to posterity and 3. There must be a "differential conceptive achievement" in view of people; while those with the attribute ought to replicate and have a superior possibility of making due than those without it. Every one of the three of these stipulations must be met with the goal of advancement to happen. A balancing out heading is the point of which it supports a decline in the attributes that are outrageous and not normal by the vast majority of the populace. A directional determination is a point at which the normal characteristic changes after some…
