Sample profile
In this step of the course project you will write a well-researched organism profile (research paper) on your chosen organism. You should incorporate both the Outline (
Assignment 2
) fleshed out into paragraphs and the Abstract (
Assignment 3
) into this profile. Recall that your research should come from scientific information from the APUS library (see the work you completed for
Academic Honor Review and Library Research Primer
) as well as appropriate sources on the internet.
To prepare for this assignment I recommend that you do the following:
Read these directions carefully.
Review the sample profile provided to you.
Read the rubric. The rubric is a very detailed template that I will use to assess your performance. It also will help you understand what is expected from you as you prepare your assignment.

Organism Profile
Assignment Instructions
:
You will write an organism profile based on literature researched about your chosen organism.
Research should come from scientific information on the internet and research articles at the APUS library. Your paper should include, but not be limited to, the following topics:
1.
Introduction/background information about the species
-
Include common and scientific names of the organism, the area you and this species live (country, state, city, etc.), the area’s biome classification, etc.
2.
Life cycle of the species
-
Describe the life cycle of the organism you have chosen. The life cycle of an organism refers to the series of changes in both development and growth from its beginnings as an independent life form up until maturity, when it is able to reproduce. Organisms like bacteria have relatively simple life cycles; however other organisms (e.g., plants) have very complex stages to their life cycle.
3.
Structure and Function
-
Describe the structure and function of at least one major organ system of the species (e.g., digestive system, reproductive system). Choose one system and explain how this organism’s system is structured anatomically and physiologically. Identify any species-specific characteristics or adaptations that are particularly unique to this organism and explain why.
4.
Evolution of the organism
-
Evolution is simply heritable change over time. Sometimes changes from one generation to the next can give individuals an advantage. Specifically a trait that increases reproductive success or survival ability could be advantageous. Include a section in your profile paper about your organism’s evolution. Here are possible ways to research the topic:
a.
Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand what is known about your organism’s past evolution. Search key words may include evolution, fossil, ancestor. Often technical reports from wildlife and
conservation agencies have
descriptions of an organism’s evolution.
b.
Summarize research on any adaptive traits. Search key words include adaptation, evolution, trait, and character.
c.
Find an article on the family tree or phylogeny of your organism. Summarize the information describing related species. Search key words might include phylogeny, phylogenetic, and genetic analysis
.
d.
Use the
Tree of Life Project
to describe the phylogeny of your organism. Start at species, if possible, and trace back to the root. In addition to your summary, include any interesting patterns or unknown data.

a. Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand what is known about the evolution of your chosen organism. Search key words like evolution, fossil, ancestor. Also, refer back to your results from Assignment 1.
b. Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand the family tree or phylogeny of your organism. Phylogeny is defined as the history of organismal lineage as they change through time. Search key words like phylogeny, phylogenetic and genetic analysis.
c. Use the Tree of Life Project, which can be found
here
, to help you identify the lineage and related species. In addition, here is a list of other useful websites that focus on evolution:
Evolution: What is life's History on Earth?

Organism Profile
Assignment Instructions
:
You will write an organism profile based on literature researched about your chosen organism.
Research should come from scientific information on the internet and research articles at the APUS library. Your paper should include, but not be limited to, the following topics:
1.
Introduction/background information about the species
-
Include common and scientific names of the organism, the area you and this species live (country, state, city, etc.), the area’s biome classification, etc.
2.
Life cycle of the species
-
Describe the life cycle of the organism you have chosen. The life cycle of an organism refers to the series of changes in both development and growth from its beginnings as an independent life form up until maturity, when it is able to reproduce. Organisms like bacteria have relatively simple life cycles; however other organisms (e.g., plants) have very complex stages to their life cycle.
3.
Structure and Function
-
Describe the structure and function of at least one major organ system of the species (e.g., digestive system, reproductive system). Choose one system and explain how this organism’s system is structured anatomically and physiologically. Identify any species-specific characteristics or adaptations that are particularly unique to this organism and explain why.
4.
Evolution of the organism
-
Evolution is simply heritable change over time. Sometimes changes from one generation to the next can give individuals an advantage. Specifically a trait that increases reproductive success or survival ability could be advantageous. Include a section in your profile paper about your organism’s evolution. Here are possible ways to research the topic:
a.
Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand what is known about your organism’s past evolution. Search key words may include evolution, fossil, ancestor. Often technical reports from wildlife and
conservation agencies have
descriptions of an organism’s evolution.
b.
Summarize research on any adaptive traits. Search key words include adaptation, evolution, trait, and character.
c.
Find an article on the family tree or phylogeny of your organism. Summarize the information describing related species. Search key words might include phylogeny, phylogenetic, and genetic analysis
.
d.
Use the
Tree of Life Project
to describe the phylogeny of your organism. Start at species, if possible, and trace back to the root. In addition to your summary, include any interesting patterns or unknown data.

BIOTECHNOLOGY PAPER. This quarter, you will complete a project which will culminate in a 5–6 page paper on an established or emerging biotechnology. The project covers both the biological basis of the technology, as well as its benefits, drawbacks, and ethical aspects. The project is broken down into four stages, with deliverables due at each stage. In the final stage, you will combine your previous work, edited according to the feedback you’ve received, into one coherent final paper. Assignment 1: Biotechnology Article – This first assignment, and the entire project, begins with your selection of one article about a particular biotechnology. Subsequent assignments will build on this first assignment, and thus extend your research on the same biotechnology. In Assignment 1, you will summarize the article you’ve chosen (your “target article”), and address some additional issues about how your article relates to the course, to your life, and to the funding of ongoing research. Assignment 2: Biological basis – In the second assignment, you will explain what your chosen biotechnology accomplishes and how it is implemented, and describe the body of knowledge that it is based upon. Your overall goal in this assignment is to show that you understand the underlying science behind the technology. Assignment 3: Benefits, Drawbacks and Ethical Aspects – In the third assignment, you will look at your technology in more depth to analyze the pros and cons, and to also consider any ethical issues that arise from the technology. Assignment 4: Biotech paper – You will pull this final paper together using edited pieces from Assignments 1, 2, and 3, along with an additional section providing your personal viewpoint and summation. The result should be a coherent paper on the biotechnology you’ve chosen. Assignment 1: Biotechnology Article Due Week 3 and worth 80 points Assignment 1 is the first phase of a project that you will complete, in stages, during the term. You will begin by selecting a specific biotechnology that you would like to cover through the entire project. It can be an established technology, such as genetically-modified crops, or an emerging technology, such as CRISPR. The choice of biotechnology is up to you, but consider selecting something that relates to your major, career, or personal interests. CRJ students might consider an established or an emerging biotechnology for crime scene investigation. BUS students might consider a technology that will provide an opportunity to explore bringing new biotech products and services to market or the ethical considerations around marketing biotech to consumers. Choose one magazine or newspaper article that covers the specific technology that you will use throughout the project. It must be a recent article (no more than four years old). For instance, if you choose genetically-modified crops as your biotechnology, then you would need to select one recent article about genetically-modified crops f ...

Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelines
Overview:
The purpose of this project is for you to choose a plant, conduct online research into the biology of the plant, and communicate what you have learned. You will be preparing an annotated bibliography on the plant you choose. The entire project is worth 50 points
Annotated Bibliography (50 points)
You will prepare an annotated bibliography with a list of the top 10 most interesting facts about your plant.
· Each fact should be paraphrased (i.e. written in your own words, no quotations allowed).
· Then tell me why this is interesting to you – make connections to your life or to currents issues in our world.
· Finally, give a full citation and tell me why you think this is a reliable, trustworthy source. Use this libguide to help you come up with reasons why your source is trustworthy.
· At least one of your sources should be from a peer-reviewed, science journal article.
Here is an example:
Fact 1: Taxol is a chemotherapy agent derived from the bark of the Pacific Yew Tree. The chemical itself is derived from a fungal endophtye within the bark. I thought this was very interesting, because the Pacific Yew tree is native to the state of Washington, and my aunt Jane received Taxol while undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. I also thought it was interesting because of the mutualistic relationship between the plant and the fungus.Citation: Plant natural products from cultured multipotent cells
Roberts, Susan; Kolewe, Martin. Nature Biotechnology28.11 (Nov 2010): 1175-6.
This is a reliable source because it is published in a peer-reviewed science journal article, written by two PhDs that are providing a review of the current literature on the topic
To complete the assignment, you should first choose a plant, gather articles discussing your plant, read the articles sufficiently enough to discuss the plant, and finally write the annotated bibliography. You are expected to produce original work, and any plagiarism will receive a zero. The paper should be double-spaced, and typed in 12 point font size, with normal margins. The instructions for how to properly cite your sources are at the end of this handout.
*** Reminder: The scientific name of a plant should always be typed in italics, with the first letter of the Genus capitalized. For ex.: Digitalis lanata. When you search for information on your plant online, make sure to use the scientific name, which will bring back a wider variety of results
The bibliography is worth 50 points and will be graded on:
1. Effort
• Quality of references
•Depth/breadth/quality of material covered
2. Following directions/ requirements
I will use the following rubric to grade your bibliography:
Research, Critical Reading and Documentation
Balanced, authoritative sources; correctly cited sources; effectively integrated outside sources. Most sources from science journals
10 pts
Effective sources, correctly cited, Could have a few more.

Chapter 1: Invitation to Biology Chapter Review
Book Title: Biology Today and Tomorrow with Physiology
© 2016 Cengage Learning, Cengage LearningChapter Review
Summary
Section 1.1 Biology is the scientific study of life. We know about only a fraction of the organisms that live on Earth, in part because we have explored only a fraction of its inhabited regions.
Section 1.2 Biologists think about life at different levels of organization, with new properties emerging at successively higher levels. All matter consists of atoms, which bond together to form molecules. Organisms are individuals that consist of one or more cells, the organizational level at which life emerges. A population is a group of interbreeding individuals of a species in a given area; a community is all populations of all species in a given area. An ecosystem is a community interacting with its environment. The biosphere includes all regions of Earth that hold life.
Section 1.3 Life has underlying unity in that all living things have similar characteristics:
1. All organisms require energy and nutrients to sustain themselves. Producers harvest energy from the environment to make their own food by processes such as photosynthesis; consumers ingest other organisms, or their wastes or remains.
2. Organisms keep the conditions in their internal environment within ranges that their cells tolerate—a process called homeostasis.
3. DNA contains information that guides an organism’s growth, development, and reproduction.
The passage of DNA from parents to offspring is inheritance.
Section 1.4 The many types of organisms that currently exist on Earth differ greatly in details of body form and function. Biodiversity is the sum of differences among living things. Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes, single-celled organisms whose DNA is not contained within a nucleus. The DNA of single-celled or multicelled eukaryotes (protists, plants, fungi, and animals) is contained within a nucleus.
Each species has a two-part name. The first part is the genus name. When combined with the specific epithet, it designates the particular species. With taxonomy, species are ranked into ever more inclusive taxa on the basis of shared traits.
Section 1.5 Critical thinking, the self-directed act of judging the quality of information as one learns, is an important part of science. Generally, a researcher observes something in nature, forms a hypothesis (testable explanation) for it, then makes a prediction about what might occur if the hypothesis is correct. Predictions are tested with observations, experiments, or both. Experiments typically are performed on an experimental group as compared with a control group, and sometimes on model systems. Conclusions are drawn from data. A hypothesis that is not consistent with data is modified or discarded. The scientific method consists of making, testing, and evaluating hypotheses, and sharing results with the scientific community.
Biological systems are usually i ...

AP PSYCHOLOGY
YOUR LOT IN LIFE PROJECT
As we progress through the lifespan, none of us is absolutely certain as to what course our life might take. This assignment is designed to simulate challenges you may face in your own future life and to better prepare you for overcoming potential obstacles. Additionally, it will allow us, as a group, to provide information that others in the community may access when searching for help on their topic.
In the assignment, Your Lot in Life, each of you will be randomly assigned a unique life experience that may occur during childhood. Your assignment is to gather information about your topic (or "lot" in life) from both scholarly and community sources as well as the internet. You will compile this information into a report that will be put together with reports from other students to create the guide. The goals of the assignment are:
1. To give you an opportunity to become familiar with research that has been conducted on your life issue.
2. To give you practical experience in locating likely sources of information and support from the community.
3. To give you practical experience in locating likely sources of information and support from the internet.
4. To get you to evaluate the choices available to individuals who share your life circumstance.
5. To get you to think about how your issue relates to the period of the lifespan in which it occurs.
The research for this lot:
Today you will receive your "lot" in life by random assignment.
1. You will be required to find 3 articles on your topic:
One general article – This source should describe the disorder/condition that has been assigned as your lot. This can come from a book chapter or an article that reviews the literature. These articles do not have methods sections in them. You must include a copy of the book chapter/article that you use.
Two empirically based articles from two different scholarly journals (i.e., data has been collected, they contain a “methods” section, and there is a list of references at the end). Most articles can be found in the online databases, Psycinfo and Ebscohost. If you use Ebscohost, you must select “peer reviewed” articles. Try MEL.
You must attach copies of the articles to your term paper when you turn it in. YOU MUST INCLUDE ARTICLES FROM THREE DIFFERENT JOURNALS (THE JOURNALS DON’T HAVE THE SAME NAME). IF YOU USE A BOOK CHAPTER AS YOUR GENERAL ARTICLE THE REMAINING TWO ARTICLES MUST COME FROM DIFFERENT JOURNALS.
2. Find two agencies in the community and three internet websites that can help you in meeting the challenges of your life issue. You must turn in some written material from EACH agency and a print-out from each internet website when you turn in your term paper. You may not have an agency count for both an internet source and an agency – it must be one or the other.
3. Consider how the lot impacts three areas of development. For example, how are cognitive, physical and social deve.

BIOTECHNOLOGY PAPER. This quarter, you will complete a project which will culminate in a 5–6 page paper on an established or emerging biotechnology. The project covers both the biological basis of the technology, as well as its benefits, drawbacks, and ethical aspects. The project is broken down into four stages, with deliverables due at each stage. In the final stage, you will combine your previous work, edited according to the feedback you’ve received, into one coherent final paper. Assignment 1: Biotechnology Article – This first assignment, and the entire project, begins with your selection of one article about a particular biotechnology. Subsequent assignments will build on this first assignment, and thus extend your research on the same biotechnology. In Assignment 1, you will summarize the article you’ve chosen (your “target article”), and address some additional issues about how your article relates to the course, to your life, and to the funding of ongoing research. Assignment 2: Biological basis – In the second assignment, you will explain what your chosen biotechnology accomplishes and how it is implemented, and describe the body of knowledge that it is based upon. Your overall goal in this assignment is to show that you understand the underlying science behind the technology. Assignment 3: Benefits, Drawbacks and Ethical Aspects – In the third assignment, you will look at your technology in more depth to analyze the pros and cons, and to also consider any ethical issues that arise from the technology. Assignment 4: Biotech paper – You will pull this final paper together using edited pieces from Assignments 1, 2, and 3, along with an additional section providing your personal viewpoint and summation. The result should be a coherent paper on the biotechnology you’ve chosen. Assignment 1: Biotechnology Article Due Week 3 and worth 80 points Assignment 1 is the first phase of a project that you will complete, in stages, during the term. You will begin by selecting a specific biotechnology that you would like to cover through the entire project. It can be an established technology, such as genetically-modified crops, or an emerging technology, such as CRISPR. The choice of biotechnology is up to you, but consider selecting something that relates to your major, career, or personal interests. CRJ students might consider an established or an emerging biotechnology for crime scene investigation. BUS students might consider a technology that will provide an opportunity to explore bringing new biotech products and services to market or the ethical considerations around marketing biotech to consumers. Choose one magazine or newspaper article that covers the specific technology that you will use throughout the project. It must be a recent article (no more than four years old). For instance, if you choose genetically-modified crops as your biotechnology, then you would need to select one recent article about genetically-modified crops f ...

Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelines
Overview:
The purpose of this project is for you to choose a plant, conduct online research into the biology of the plant, and communicate what you have learned. You will be preparing an annotated bibliography on the plant you choose. The entire project is worth 50 points
Annotated Bibliography (50 points)
You will prepare an annotated bibliography with a list of the top 10 most interesting facts about your plant.
· Each fact should be paraphrased (i.e. written in your own words, no quotations allowed).
· Then tell me why this is interesting to you – make connections to your life or to currents issues in our world.
· Finally, give a full citation and tell me why you think this is a reliable, trustworthy source. Use this libguide to help you come up with reasons why your source is trustworthy.
· At least one of your sources should be from a peer-reviewed, science journal article.
Here is an example:
Fact 1: Taxol is a chemotherapy agent derived from the bark of the Pacific Yew Tree. The chemical itself is derived from a fungal endophtye within the bark. I thought this was very interesting, because the Pacific Yew tree is native to the state of Washington, and my aunt Jane received Taxol while undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. I also thought it was interesting because of the mutualistic relationship between the plant and the fungus.Citation: Plant natural products from cultured multipotent cells
Roberts, Susan; Kolewe, Martin. Nature Biotechnology28.11 (Nov 2010): 1175-6.
This is a reliable source because it is published in a peer-reviewed science journal article, written by two PhDs that are providing a review of the current literature on the topic
To complete the assignment, you should first choose a plant, gather articles discussing your plant, read the articles sufficiently enough to discuss the plant, and finally write the annotated bibliography. You are expected to produce original work, and any plagiarism will receive a zero. The paper should be double-spaced, and typed in 12 point font size, with normal margins. The instructions for how to properly cite your sources are at the end of this handout.
*** Reminder: The scientific name of a plant should always be typed in italics, with the first letter of the Genus capitalized. For ex.: Digitalis lanata. When you search for information on your plant online, make sure to use the scientific name, which will bring back a wider variety of results
The bibliography is worth 50 points and will be graded on:
1. Effort
• Quality of references
•Depth/breadth/quality of material covered
2. Following directions/ requirements
I will use the following rubric to grade your bibliography:
Research, Critical Reading and Documentation
Balanced, authoritative sources; correctly cited sources; effectively integrated outside sources. Most sources from science journals
10 pts
Effective sources, correctly cited, Could have a few more.

Chapter 1 Invitation to Biology Chapter Review Book Title Biol.docx
Chapter 1: Invitation to Biology Chapter Review
Book Title: Biology Today and Tomorrow with Physiology
© 2016 Cengage Learning, Cengage LearningChapter Review
Summary
Section 1.1 Biology is the scientific study of life. We know about only a fraction of the organisms that live on Earth, in part because we have explored only a fraction of its inhabited regions.
Section 1.2 Biologists think about life at different levels of organization, with new properties emerging at successively higher levels. All matter consists of atoms, which bond together to form molecules. Organisms are individuals that consist of one or more cells, the organizational level at which life emerges. A population is a group of interbreeding individuals of a species in a given area; a community is all populations of all species in a given area. An ecosystem is a community interacting with its environment. The biosphere includes all regions of Earth that hold life.
Section 1.3 Life has underlying unity in that all living things have similar characteristics:
1. All organisms require energy and nutrients to sustain themselves. Producers harvest energy from the environment to make their own food by processes such as photosynthesis; consumers ingest other organisms, or their wastes or remains.
2. Organisms keep the conditions in their internal environment within ranges that their cells tolerate—a process called homeostasis.
3. DNA contains information that guides an organism’s growth, development, and reproduction.
The passage of DNA from parents to offspring is inheritance.
Section 1.4 The many types of organisms that currently exist on Earth differ greatly in details of body form and function. Biodiversity is the sum of differences among living things. Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes, single-celled organisms whose DNA is not contained within a nucleus. The DNA of single-celled or multicelled eukaryotes (protists, plants, fungi, and animals) is contained within a nucleus.
Each species has a two-part name. The first part is the genus name. When combined with the specific epithet, it designates the particular species. With taxonomy, species are ranked into ever more inclusive taxa on the basis of shared traits.
Section 1.5 Critical thinking, the self-directed act of judging the quality of information as one learns, is an important part of science. Generally, a researcher observes something in nature, forms a hypothesis (testable explanation) for it, then makes a prediction about what might occur if the hypothesis is correct. Predictions are tested with observations, experiments, or both. Experiments typically are performed on an experimental group as compared with a control group, and sometimes on model systems. Conclusions are drawn from data. A hypothesis that is not consistent with data is modified or discarded. The scientific method consists of making, testing, and evaluating hypotheses, and sharing results with the scientific community.
Biological systems are usually i ...

AP PSYCHOLOGY
YOUR LOT IN LIFE PROJECT
As we progress through the lifespan, none of us is absolutely certain as to what course our life might take. This assignment is designed to simulate challenges you may face in your own future life and to better prepare you for overcoming potential obstacles. Additionally, it will allow us, as a group, to provide information that others in the community may access when searching for help on their topic.
In the assignment, Your Lot in Life, each of you will be randomly assigned a unique life experience that may occur during childhood. Your assignment is to gather information about your topic (or "lot" in life) from both scholarly and community sources as well as the internet. You will compile this information into a report that will be put together with reports from other students to create the guide. The goals of the assignment are:
1. To give you an opportunity to become familiar with research that has been conducted on your life issue.
2. To give you practical experience in locating likely sources of information and support from the community.
3. To give you practical experience in locating likely sources of information and support from the internet.
4. To get you to evaluate the choices available to individuals who share your life circumstance.
5. To get you to think about how your issue relates to the period of the lifespan in which it occurs.
The research for this lot:
Today you will receive your "lot" in life by random assignment.
1. You will be required to find 3 articles on your topic:
One general article – This source should describe the disorder/condition that has been assigned as your lot. This can come from a book chapter or an article that reviews the literature. These articles do not have methods sections in them. You must include a copy of the book chapter/article that you use.
Two empirically based articles from two different scholarly journals (i.e., data has been collected, they contain a “methods” section, and there is a list of references at the end). Most articles can be found in the online databases, Psycinfo and Ebscohost. If you use Ebscohost, you must select “peer reviewed” articles. Try MEL.
You must attach copies of the articles to your term paper when you turn it in. YOU MUST INCLUDE ARTICLES FROM THREE DIFFERENT JOURNALS (THE JOURNALS DON’T HAVE THE SAME NAME). IF YOU USE A BOOK CHAPTER AS YOUR GENERAL ARTICLE THE REMAINING TWO ARTICLES MUST COME FROM DIFFERENT JOURNALS.
2. Find two agencies in the community and three internet websites that can help you in meeting the challenges of your life issue. You must turn in some written material from EACH agency and a print-out from each internet website when you turn in your term paper. You may not have an agency count for both an internet source and an agency – it must be one or the other.
3. Consider how the lot impacts three areas of development. For example, how are cognitive, physical and social deve.

Assignment 4 The Organism ProfileAttachmentsRubricSample p.docx
- 1. Assignment 4: The Organism Profile Attachments: Rubric Sample profile In this step of the course project you will write a well- researched organism profile (research paper) on your chosen organism. You should incorporate both the Outline ( Assignment 2 ) fleshed out into paragraphs and the Abstract ( Assignment 3 ) into this profile. Recall that your research should come from scientific information from the APUS library (see the work you completed for Academic Honor Review and Library Research Primer ) as well as appropriate sources on the internet. To prepare for this assignment I recommend that you do the following: Read these directions carefully. Review the sample profile provided to you. Read the rubric. The rubric is a very detailed template that I will use to assess your performance. It also will help you understand what is expected from you as you prepare your assignment. Message me with any questions! The required elements : Your profile should contain the following elements in the order listed below. Please note that this closely mirrors the expectations of the Outline ( Assignment 2 ) as well as the abstract ( Assignment 3
- 2. ). However, my expectation is that any feedback that was given to you from Assignments 2 and 3 be incorporated into this assignment. Please go back and review those comments. Your Abstract should contain the following parts that are listed below. Topic Sentence : your abstract must contain one sentence that clearly and concisely introduces the topic of the profile paper. Content Sentences : your abstract must mention the following five main topics of the profile: background information about the species, life cycle of the organism, structure and function of one organ system of the organism, evolutionary topic, and an additional interest. This is challenging to write! These sentences should not be too specific, but reflect broad strokes summaries of each of these main topics. Conclusion Sentence : Abstract contains one sentence that mentions key conclusions and/or findings. Here is a link that may help: Advice on writing abstracts : (Please note that you do not have a methods section in this paper. Despite that difference, this is a great resource with great tips). I. The Introduction : this section must contain
- 3. A. The scientific name of your organism. Please see this link ( How to Write Latin Names ) for help if needed. B. The common name of your organism. What do most people know it as? C. The area of residence in which you and your organism are (country/state/city). D. The specific biome of where your organism lives. Please see this link on biomes for help if needed. II. The Body : this section should contain A. Background : include a general physical description of your organism B. Life Cycle : describe the life cycle of your organism. The life cycle refers to the series of changes that happens from the beginning of life as your organism develops and grows into a mature organism. Please see here for some hints on life cycle . C. Structure and Function : please select one organ system of your organism that you find to be particularly interesting and describe both the anatomy and physiology of that system. a. If your organism is an animal, here are a list of the general animal organ systems . b. If your organism is a plant, here are a list of the general plant organ systems
- 4. . c. If you have selected a bacteria or a fungus the concept can be more complex. Please contact me directly for more directions if needed. D. Evolution : Evolution is best understood as heritable change over time, or descent with modification. Please be sure to discuss the evolution of your organism using the following guidance: a. Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand what is known about the evolution of your chosen organism. Search key words like evolution, fossil, ancestor. Also, refer back to your results from Assignment 1. b. Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand the family tree or phylogeny of your organism. Phylogeny is defined as the history of organismal lineage as they change through time. Search key words like phylogeny, phylogenetic and genetic analysis. c. Use the Tree of Life Project to help you identify the lineage and related species. E. Additional Interests : The diversity of biological organisms is vast and interesting! Identify at least one unique fact or behavior not covered in the life cycle, structure/function or evolution and discuss it. For example, does your organism have an interesting parental care strategy or mating system? What about an adaptation or co- dependence with another species? III. Conclusion section : this section should contain four to six bullet points that sum up the main points from the outline. IV. Reference section :
- 5. this is not just a separate section; rather referencing should occur throughout the outline as it will in your paper . Please be sure to cite any language within the outline that should be cited. Proper citation and referencing were reviewed in Assignment 1; please look back at those resources and/or ask me if you have any additional questions. Your paper should also have a final reference page listing the sources used throughout the outline. Please make note of the following tips and tricks: Please note that less than 10% of your paper should contain direct quotes. Avoid bulleted lists within the body of your paper. Do not write in first or second person. One last reminder : be sure to properly cite your work, both internal to the paper as well as within the reference page.
