great sectional hatred‚ has affected our country till today. The great question is what caused the southern states to secede? If slavery truly was the culprit behind this‚ if it was to what extent was it? Was the person leading our country at the time in fault for southern secession? If any what were other factors? All of these questions are still debated today. Southern believed that slaves were their property‚ and that they had the right to take them with them. So when they noticed that Lincoln

Rainforests The rainforest is under threat from destruction but why is it being destroyed? An area the size of a football pitch is being destroyed every second. Structure of the Rainforest The rainforest is made up of 4 layers: Emergent Layer- The tallest trees are in this layer they can be 200 feet above the forest floor. These trees can also have trunks that are 16 feet round. Animals found here include eagles‚ bats‚ monkeys and butterflies. Canopy Layer- This layer forms a type of roof above

Humans are the most complex species on Earth. Sometimes‚ mutations can happen- causing disorders. These changes in your DNA make you‚ YOU! They can affect anyone no matter your race‚ religion‚ or gender. Mutations can happen because of your genetics or DNA‚ your environment or even what your mom eats while she is pregnant with you. In Keneba‚ Gambia‚ there has been a 70-year long study. The study was to see if the things your mom eats while you are in the womb will determine your life expectancy

Variation is when you refer to genes; it means that there is a large variety of phenotypes‚ alleles and genotypes which can sometimes cause genetic variation. This results in different physical characteristics. Some examples of variations in humans are eye colour‚ hair colour and gender. Variations caused by the environment are the climate (tanned/pale skin) this is affected by the environment as the sun comes in contact with your skin and will darken it‚ the language that you speak as when you are

region of low concentration across a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is complete when all of the water molecules have been evenly spread out and can take place either in plant cells or animal cells‚ so long as a partially permeable membrane is present. Osmosis can also be conducted in the visking tubing experiment‚ where the visking tubing is an artificial permeable membrane. So how does Osmosis take place? When you put an animal or plant cell into liquid containing water‚ one of three things can

Does Alzheimer’s disease occur in younger adults? Dr Md Yaseen Alzheimer’s disease does not only affect in old age.

As per estimates‚ around 2 lakh patients in the US have an early onset of the disease

natural selection‚ evolution‚ mutation‚ variation‚ heritability‚ and fitness. EVOLUTION IN ACTION Darwin envisioned natural selection acting so slowly that its effects would be imperceptible in a human lifetime. But in the late 1900s‚ evolutionary biologists began to detect small but significant changes taking place in a handful of species. In the past decade‚ many more cases of natural selection have come to light‚ and scientists now realize that species can adapt quickly to changes in their

What factors were involved in starting the Great War? The time period leading up to World War I was the age of imperialism‚ a time when many countries in Western Europe were building up their empires throughout the world.
