Natural Selection -Will Sugleris

Natural selection is the process where organisms better adapted to the environment live longer than ones not adapted. For example A spotted moth wouldn't be as camouflaged as a black moth on a dark oak tree. But the spotted moth would be better adapted to be in an environment with birch trees.

Reflection: I learned that natural selection is very important role in the survival of certain animals in their habitat. If animals couldn't adapt to their habitat they would not be able to live in that environment and they would be gone from that area. They would get attacked by the predators of their habitat and would die out.

    Like how you gave an example of a one bad adapted organism and one good adapted organism. You did a good job on going into depth on how it is an important role in the survival of their habitat. You should of used different animals instead of the same animals, for example, a frog.

    Good explanation of Natural Selection and a good example. For the reflection I thought It was good, you put what you learned and what your interpretation was. You didn't put how it could be used outside of class, and you could have put more than one example.

    Good explainging and example of the good and bad!
    very good detail, needed to refesh
    you couldve used a monkey instead of the same ones.
    But how is it used outside of school ?

    Great examples those really helped. Your picture choice was also awesome. I wouldn't have put it in paragraph form but overall it was great!

Anaerobic Energy Production - MORGAN BANKS

Image
ANAEROBIC ENERGY PRODUCTION  Anaerobic Energy Production is one form of Cellular Respiration  This form requiers no oxygen  Is used for a fast burst of energy Occurs mostly in prokaryotes cells  Fermentation 1- lactic acid (makes muscles sore)  2- Alocholic REFLECTION - Anaerobic Production has no oxygen, therefore many of the things we do, do not involve anaerobic production! It involves the aerobic energy production. This is not only a good review for you but for me as well on how to justify the two.  http://slideplayer.com/slide/9078035/ MORE INFO: http://www.diffen.com/difference/Aerobic_Respiration_vs_Anaerobic_Respiration VIDEO/QUIZ:  http://study.com/academy/lesson/anaerobic-exercise-definition-benefits-examples.html

Genetic Variation: Mutations

Image
What is a mutation? A mutation is any change in the DNA sequence.  There are three types of mutations: * addition: One or more nucleotide base pairs are inserted into a DNA sequence (also called frameshift mutation)  *deletion: The removal of one or more nucleotides in a DNA sequence (also called frameshift mutation) *substitution: A mutation that exchanges one or more bases for another (also called point mutation) How do they occur & why? Mutations for randomly, but different mutations occur different ways.  Most of the time a mutation comes from radiation (so like the sun, X-rays, tanning salons, etc). Some mutations can be genetic though, like autism. Autism is caused when theres an extra chromosome. Another common mutation would be cancer. Cancer occurs when cells uncontrollably grow, and don't die.  Can it be prevented?  Unfortunately, mutations are random. The best way to prevent them is to protect yoursel...
