Shalacia Gilmore Fall 2012 BIO 1107 Natural Selection Lab INTRODUCTION In the 1850s‚ two scientists by the name of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace composed the theory of evolution by natural selection. (1) Darwin characterized several claims needed for natural selection to happen‚ including heritable variation within the population‚ and the presence of more individuals than the environment can support. They also discovered that certain environments favored certain traits. These

As I progressed through school my love of science changed to biology of all forms‚ from a molecular level to ecosystems as a whole and this was a key factor in my decision to study biological science as it covered a broad spectrum of biology based topics. Studying for my MSci degree opened my eyes to many new areas of biology and found two areas of biology that interested me the most: microbiology and cell biology and during my final two years I have‚ through my module options and project

needs are being met. During this stage‚ the child’s relative understanding of the world and society comes from parents/primary caregiver. Infants are especially dependant for food‚ sustenance‚ and comfort. According to Erikson (1950)‚ the major developmental task in infancy is to learn whether or not other people‚ especially primary caregivers‚ regularly satisfy basic needs. If caregivers are consistent sources of food‚ comfort‚ and affection‚ an infant learns to trust that others are trustworthy.

What Shapes an Ecosystem? Ecosystems are made up of: * Biotic factors- all living parts of an ecosystem (plants‚ animals‚ bacteria) * Abiotic factors- all nonliving (but natural) parts of an ecosystem (soil‚ wind‚ water) These factors together (biotic and abiotic) determine which types of organisms can live in that particular ecosystem. A habitat- the place where an organism lives- includes both biotic and abiotic factors A niche includes both the habitat of an organism and its unique
