A central organizing concept in biology is that life changes and develops through evolution‚ and that all life-forms known have a common origin. The theory of evolution postulates that all organisms on the Earth‚ both living and extinct‚ have descended from a common ancestor or an ancestral gene pool. This last universal common ancestor of all organisms is believed to have appeared about 3.5 billion years ago.[21] Biologists generally regard the universality and ubiquity of the genetic code as definitive

The purpose of this investigation was to see if doing push ups affects one’s heart rate. It was found that the exercise that was performed did affect the heart rate. Therefore‚ doing push ups did increase the heart rate. If doing exercise increases one’s heart rate‚ then doing push ups affects the heart rate. This investigation deals with analyzing the effect on doing an exercise‚ in this case- pushups; will increase one’s heart rate. I have analyzed ten boys between the ages of fifteen and seventeen

FACTORS AFFECTING GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT FACTORS AFFECTING GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT In this assignment is an explanation of genetic‚ biological‚ environmental and socio-economic and lifestyle that effect the development of an individual. Also using the case study of Emily there is explanation on 2 predictable and 2 unpredictable life events that could be affecting her now and the in the future. I will then be discussing the 2 sides to the nature –nurture debate‚ and then I will be evaluating how

Title: Homeostasis Date: 19th January 2010 Aim: To observe‚ draw and label the parts of a nephron. Apparatus: Slide of the transverse section of a kidney Pencil Paper Microscope Method: The slide of the transverse section of a kidney was mounted on the microscope and observed under high power. Drawings of the parts of the nephron were made. Calculations of Magnification: Loop of Henle One Ocular Division = 0.22 µm Size of Specimen = 2 ocular divisions Conversion of Ocular

assume that with a higher light intensity‚ a plant would gain more energy and therefore continue the process of photosynthesis at a more rapid rate. I will conduct the experiment in a room with constant temperature as to minimise the chance of other factors that might affect the rate of photosynthesis of the pondweed (Cabomba or Elodea). I will also limit the chance of a change in concentration in the water that the pondweed will be set in. Furthermore‚ the result of the experiment will be based solely

Sarah Clay Internal Assessment Design Question: Does the caffeine in Coca-Cola affect blood pressure? Hypothesis: The amount of caffeine in Coca-Cola will cause to the adrenal glands‚ located on the top of the kidneys‚ to release more adrenaline which will in turn cause an increase in blood pressure. As the amount of Coca-Cola decreases‚ so will the difference between initial blood pressure and blood pressure after the consumption of the caffeine. Variables: Independent Variables | Dependent

10.1.3 CROSSING OVER Outline the process of crossing over in : Meiosis 1: • Prophase I - homologous chromosomes are paired up tightly into tetrads‚ then crossing over‚ the exchange of genetic material between the DNA in these tetrads occurs‚ forming a chiasmata‚ an x-shaped structure. • Metaphase I - paired chromosomes line up along the equator of a cell‚ the metaphase plate as the spindle microtubulue apparatus pulls them. • Anaphase I - The spindle microtubules pull homologous chromosomes
