All living things today evolved from simple life forms over 3 billion years ago. Charles Darwin published his theory of natural selection in 1858, proposing that organisms better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their genes. Over time, natural selection leads to organisms changing as traits that increase chances of survival and reproduction become more common. While controversial initially, natural selection explains how species evolve in response to their environment over many generations without need for divine intervention.

Bacteria Viruses09martin
Viruses and bacteria are two types of infectious particles. Viruses cannot reproduce outside of a host cell and are made of nucleic acids surrounded by proteins, while bacteria are unicellular organisms that can reproduce through binary fission and come in various shapes including cocci, bacilli, and spirilla. Both viruses and bacteria can cause diseases in humans, though most bacteria are beneficial as decomposers in the environment or in food production.
Classify Organisms Jeopardy
This document provides information about scientific classification and taxonomy. It contains questions about the five kingdoms of life - Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, and Monera. It also discusses the taxonomic groups used to classify organisms from broadest to most specific: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Additionally, it provides examples of scientific names and discusses bacteria, viruses, and estimates of undiscovered organisms.
BIOLOGY - THE MYTH OF EVOLUTION
This book of Biology has the definite purpose of refuting the theory of evolution and exalt God as the one responsible for creating. We dedicate this volume to the Creator that is very close to the men, as the Scripture says in Acts 17.24-28, through this book we tax the God the title of THE LORD OF LIFE. Men announced this literature that their existence here originated from a CREATION ACT and not a PROCESS DEVELOPMENT. The true believers in God, this book will reinforce their beliefs regarding the origin of LIFE and MAN. Scientists to request reconsideration of theories that hinder the development of science, noting that no belief should divert research at its sole purpose: TRUTH.

Bacteria summary
Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that are found everywhere on Earth. They come in different shapes and sizes, and some have flagella or slime to help them move. Bacteria play important roles in ecosystems by breaking down dead materials and producing oxygen. Trillions of bacteria live in the human gut and help with digestion. Bacteria were the earliest forms of life on Earth and their production of oxygen allowed other lifeforms to develop.

Review paper revised final
This document discusses several topics related to animal hybridization and chimeras, including:
1) Hybridization may help some species facing extinction from climate change adapt to warmer temperatures and survive on land, as seen with polar bear/grizzly bear hybrids.
2) Male hybrids are often infertile due to reproductive isolation occurring during spermatogenesis, though research aims to address this.
3) Creating animal/human chimeras is considered unethical by many but some scientists argue it could help develop new medicines, though it also raises legal and ethical concerns over redefining species boundaries.
Zoology
Zoology is the branch of biology relating to the animal kingdom, including the structure, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of animals. The history of zoology traces the study of animals from ancient times through the modern era. Key developments included the scientific revolution, cell theory, and Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Modern zoology involves research in fields like structural biology, physiology, evolution, systematics, ethology, and biogeography.

Evolutionary history
Scientists are uncertain how the first invertebrates evolved but most agree they developed from single-celled microorganisms that formed permanent symbiotic groups, becoming multicellular animals. The first known invertebrates were sponges, basal animals that branch from the base of both vertebrates and invertebrates. True animals, or eumetazoans, then evolved with true tissues, including comb jellies and Cnidaria featuring radial symmetry. Bilaterians next appeared with bilateral symmetry and three germ layers, making up most animal phyla. Scientists disagree on whether Bilateria split into Deuterostomes and Protostomes, or Deuterostomes, Lophot

Introduction to Theory of Evolution
The document summarizes key concepts about evolution from biology class. It describes how Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution through his observations on the Galapagos Islands of different finch species with specialized beaks. Darwin proposed that evolution occurs through overproduction of offspring, competition for resources, genetic variations or adaptations, and survival of the fittest. The theory helped explain how the first single-celled organisms evolved over 3 billion years into the diversity of species today through natural selection, mutation, and genetic drift acting on populations.

Evo summative1 review
1. Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection to explain how populations of living things change over generations through the processes of variation, inheritance of traits, and the struggle for existence.
2. Prior scientists like Charles Lyell, James Hutton, and Jean Baptiste Lamarck contributed ideas that influenced Darwin, such as deep time and acquired characteristics, though Darwin's theory improved upon their ideas.
3. Natural selection acts on variation between individuals in a population - individuals with traits better suited to their environment will survive and reproduce more, passing on those favorable traits and causing populations to change over time as less suited traits diminish.
Theories Of Biological Evolution.pptx
This document discusses several theories of evolution including:
1. Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics which was later disproven.
2. Darwin's theory of natural selection, where organisms with favorable variations are more likely to survive and reproduce.
3. De Vries' mutation theory, where sudden variations occur that can be inherited.
4. The modern synthesis combining genetics, mutation, natural selection and evidence from fields like biogeography, paleontology and embryology.
Evolution two-
This document summarizes key concepts from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection in three main points:
1. Organisms vary extensively in their inherited characteristics, and more offspring are produced than can survive. This leads to a struggle for existence.
2. Individuals with characteristics better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those advantageous traits.
3. Over generations, this process of natural selection results in populations changing gradually as favorable traits accumulate, allowing species to adapt and potentially evolve into new species descended from common ancestors.

This document discusses evolution through natural selection. It provides background on key concepts like fitness, variation, competition, and adaptation. It also presents three case studies as examples:
1) Sickle cell anemia, where the sickle cell trait provides resistance to malaria, keeping the frequency of that genotype high.
2) The peppered moth, where the frequency of light and dark moths changed with the environment during the Industrial Revolution due to camouflage and predation.
3) Darwin's finches in the Galapagos, where different beak shapes evolved on different islands adapted to local food sources like insects versus seeds.
Science 9 Unit A Biological Diversity Section1 Lesson1
The document discusses biological diversity and variation within living things. It defines key terms like species, ecosystems, genetic variation, and niches. It explains that the two-name Latin classification system developed by Linnaeus enables scientists to refer to the same species using the same names. Examples are provided of variation within animal species, like coat color in foxes or shell color in snails. Sample multiple choice questions test understanding of topics like taxonomic classification and animal adaptations.
Unit 2 a ch 4 s2 evolution
This document discusses key concepts about evolution including what evolution is, natural selection, adaptations, coevolution, and how evolution can occur through artificial selection. It explains that evolution is a change in a population's traits over time due to natural selection, where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and pass on those traits. Adaptations are genetic traits that help organisms survive in their environment. The document also discusses how pesticide resistance in insects occurs through evolution and how leaving refuges can help prevent full resistance in insect populations.
Evolution natural selection_and_speciation 6 kings
The document discusses evidence that supports the theory of evolution through natural selection. It describes how Charles Darwin developed his theory of evolution after observing variations between species on his voyage on the HMS Beagle. Darwin proposed that organisms evolve over generations through natural selection of inheritable traits that increase an individual's chances of survival and reproduction. The document then provides examples of evidence that support evolution, including the fossil record, comparative anatomy and biochemistry, and experiments like the Miller-Urey experiment that show how basic organic molecules could have formed on early Earth.

There are two main ways that variation can occur in bacteria: evolution and genetic mutations. Evolution occurs over many generations as genetic mutations arise and natural selection favors some mutations over others, allowing populations to adapt to their environments. Genetic mutations can be caused by errors during DNA replication or through horizontal gene transfer between bacteria. These genetic changes introduce variations within bacterial populations that natural selection can then act upon.

Here are some examples of radioactive elements commonly used in radiometric dating and their half-lives:
- Potassium-40 to Argon-40: Half-life of 1.25 billion years
- Rubidium-87 to Strontium-87: Half-life of 48.8 billion years
- Thorium-232 to Lead-208: Half-life of 14 billion years
- Uranium-235 to Lead-207: Half-life of 704 million years
- Uranium-238 to Lead-206: Half-life of 4.47 billion years
The key is that each radioactive element decays at a known rate, allowing scientists to determine the age of a material by knowing
Ecosystems and Evolution
No, the evolution of thicker fur in rabbits in response to a colder climate is an example of natural selection, not coevolution. Coevolution requires adaptations occurring in two or more species that interact and evolve in response to each other over a long period of time. The rabbits evolving on their own in response to the abiotic environment is a case of natural selection.
Darwinism and natural selection 7th zol.pptx
Darwin's three main principles of natural selection state that, in order for the process to occur, most characteristics in the population must be inherited, more offspring must be produced than can survive, and the fittest offspring must be more likely to survive and reproduce.In the mid-19th century, a man came up with a very powerful idea, the idea that species could change. Today, all the time, we hear about animals adapting, endangered species going extinct, viruses mutating. But in the 1800s, people conceptualized a much more static world. One man looked past all that. His name was Charles Darwin.
Darwin called his idea the theory of natural selection. Natural selection is defined as a natural process that results in the survival and reproduction of organisms with genetic traits best suited to their environment. A shorter (but no less accurate) definition might be "survival of the fittest." Within any population, the fittest individuals, or the ones who fit the environment best, usually survive and reproduce, passing on their genetic traits to future generations.

Natural And Sexual Selection
Wayne Roth, 38, was bitten by a cobra belonging to his friend after playfully picking up the snake. Wayne refused to go to the hospital, saying "I'm a man, I can handle it." Instead, he went to a bar and had drinks while bragging about being bitten. Cobra venom is a slow-acting toxin and Wayne died within hours from the bite. His actions earned him a 1997 Darwin Award nomination for removing himself from the gene pool through an act of stupidity.
FOOD CHAINS UNIT 3 YEAR 3
Food chains show how organisms within an ecosystem rely on each other for energy and nutrients. Plants are producers as they produce their own food through photosynthesis. Herbivores consume plants and carnivores consume herbivores or other carnivores. Lions are an example of an apex predator, occupying the top of some terrestrial food chains, as no other animals prey on them. Disruptions anywhere in a food chain can impact the entire ecosystem.
Modern concept of natural selection2
Natural selection leads to the evolution of organisms over time through differential survival and reproduction based on heritable traits. There are three main types of selection: directional selection favors one trait extreme, stabilizing selection favors intermediate traits, and disruptive selection favors opposite trait extremes. Examples of natural selection in action include the evolution of melanism in moths due to pollution and the evolution of myxoma virus resistance in rabbits in Australia. Laboratory studies also demonstrate the effects of selection, such as increased growth in selectively bred salmon. Natural selection can result in radiation, convergence, regression, extinction, and coevolution between interacting species.
Modern concept of natural selection
Natural selection can lead to directional, stabilizing, or disruptive selection depending on the relationship between phenotypes and fitness. Directional selection favors extreme variants, stabilizing selection favors intermediate phenotypes, and disruptive selection favors opposite extremes. Examples of natural selection include industrial melanism in moths due to pollution and myxomatosis virus controlling rabbit populations in Australia. Natural selection can also lead to radiation, where many new species evolve from a common ancestor, as well as convergence of unrelated species, regression of traits, and extinction of non-adapted species.
Genes project2 patrick finning
The document discusses cloning endangered and extinct animals. It presents arguments both for and against cloning such animals. The arguments for cloning include preventing disruption to food chains if a species goes extinct and giving endangered species a chance to survive. However, cloning is difficult and cloned animals may have defects, as seen with Dolly the sheep. While cloning could help preservation efforts, the challenges of achieving successful clones mean it may not be a reliable solution.

L2 gas exchange
The document discusses gas exchange in the lungs. It explains that oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide diffuses from the bloodstream into the alveoli. It also describes how the movement of the diaphragm causes inhalation and exhalation by changing the pressure and volume inside the chest cavity. Specifically, when the diaphragm moves down the chest cavity expands and pressure decreases, drawing air in, and when it moves up the chest cavity contracts and pressure increases, pushing air out.
Rate of decomposition
The document discusses rates of decomposition and composting. It explains that decomposition rates can be reduced by removing warmth, moisture or oxygen from the environment. The document also discusses the composting process, noting that compost heaps break down plant materials through decomposition, releasing nutrients into a form plants can absorb. Composting requires oxygen, warmth, and a mixture of wet and dry materials.
Investigating a crime scene
This document outlines the proper procedures for investigating a crime scene, including:
1) Initially assessing any hazards, determining if a crime occurred, and identifying victims and witnesses.
2) Securing the scene to prevent contamination by restricting access and using a single entrance.
3) Recording the scene through sketches, notes, photographs and video to preserve evidence.
4) Systematically searching and collecting evidence while wearing protective equipment.
Breathing
The document provides information about breathing and respiration. It discusses the structure of the lungs including the trachea, bronchi, alveoli and diaphragm. It explains how breathing works through inhaling and exhaling, and how gas exchange occurs in the alveoli. Breathing and respiration are processes that involve changing lung size to move air in and out, releasing energy through cellular processes using oxygen and glucose.
Improving food production
1. The use of fertilizers and pesticides in farming and antibiotics for animals has increased food production but also has disadvantages like environmental damage and antibiotic resistance.
2. Microorganisms can be used to make foods like yogurt, cheese, bread, and alcohol by fermenting sugars and starches. Mycoprotein is a meat substitute made from fungi.
3. Various methods are used to prevent food spoilage by microbes including refrigeration, drying, pickling, freezing, pasteurization, irradiation, vacuum sealing, and canning.
Drug development
Drug development requires clinical trials to test new drugs for safety and effectiveness in treating diseases like bacterial infections. Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics through mutations occurring during reproduction, necessitating continuous development of new drugs. Later phase clinical trials increase participant numbers to further assess safety and efficacy in diverse populations before public use. Thorough testing helps prevent tragedies like thalidomide and Northwick Park hospital trials, where insufficient safety testing harmed volunteers. Placebo-controlled, double-blind trials and sourcing drugs from natural substances like plants aim to develop safe and effective new treatments through ethical clinical research.
Weight And Terminal Velocity
The document discusses weight, terminal velocity, and how drag affects an object's acceleration through a fluid. It defines weight as an object's mass multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. Terminal velocity is reached when the downward force of gravity equals the upward force of drag, resulting in a constant velocity. The document explains that as an object's speed increases through a fluid, drag forces also increase, until terminal velocity is reached and acceleration stops.
Classification
Organisms are classified into groups using a binomial system with a genus and species name in Latin for consistency. This document discusses how the binomial system of classification works, with the genus name first and capitalized and the species name following, to categorize organisms into the five kingdoms of animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and protists. It prompts finding the Latin names of common organisms like cats and dogs on Wikipedia to illustrate patterns between closely related species names.
Self Defence2
The document discusses how the body protects itself from microbial attacks. It explains that the body uses mucus, cilia, stomach acid, skin, tears, and white blood cells to prevent microbes from entering or destroy them if they do enter. White blood cells engulf bacteria while antibodies are specially designed proteins that attack specific microbes by fitting to their surface. The immune system makes different antibodies to neutralize different microbes.
Welcome To The Science Department
The document welcomes students to the science department and provides an overview of the AS and A2 course structures for biology, chemistry, and physics. It notes that the courses follow OCR syllabi and that AS courses are 80% theory and 20% practical work, while A2 courses are 40% theory and 10% practical. It also shares that last year's pass rates for A2 were 100% for biology and chemistry, and 75% for physics, with all passes being grade C or higher. Destination information shows students went on to study medicine, chemical engineering, biochemistry, and biomedical sciences.
Control Of Heart Beat
The document summarizes the control of the heartbeat. The sinoatrial node (SAN) located in the right atrium acts as the pacemaker and initiates electrical signals that cause the atria to contract. The atrioventricular node (AVN) located between the atria and ventricles briefly delays the signal to allow the atria to empty before ventricular contraction. The purkinje fibers then transmit the signal to the ventricle walls to cause synchronized contraction from bottom to top, pumping blood out of the heart.
microbes and disease
Microbes such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi can cause disease in humans. Important scientists like Ignaz Semmelweiss, Louis Pasteur, and Joseph Lister helped discover that microbes were the cause of diseases and developed practices like hand washing and sterilization to prevent their spread. The human body also has natural defenses against microbes like skin, mucus, stomach acid, white blood cells, and the ability to develop antibodies from vaccines or previous exposures that provide protection.
Energy Transfer In Reactions
The document discusses energy transfer in chemical reactions. It explains that exothermic reactions release energy, often as heat, while endothermic reactions absorb energy from their surroundings. It also describes how reactions involve breaking bonds between atoms in reactants and forming new bonds between atoms in products. Breaking bonds requires energy and making bonds releases energy, so exothermic reactions release more energy in bond formation than is needed for bond breaking, while endothermic reactions require more energy for bond breaking than is released in bond formation.
Courseworkrequirements
The document provides guidelines for students completing a science coursework assignment on a topic related to science in the news. Students must research the topic in lesson time using supplied resources and are allowed to bring notes to the supervised writing session but not completed work. They have one hour to write a 800-word report answering the given question and must cite all sources used. Reports will be assessed on skills like selecting evidence, data analysis, and relating findings to social issues.
Chromatography
This document discusses chromatography and poses questions about separating mixtures of colors. It asks what solvent and solute were used, what other solvents and solutes could be tested, how to fairly compare different inks and ensure an experiment is repeatable, and how the experiment could be improved. It also asks what would happen if waterproof ink was used and why some dye travels further than others.
Heat Transfer Quiz
The document is a heat transfer quiz containing 10 multiple choice questions about different heat transfer processes including conduction, convection, radiation, and properties of good conductors and radiators. Key terms covered include how radiation travels as waves, how silvering in a flask prevents heat loss by radiation, how black objects are good radiators while shiny objects are good reflectors, and examples of processes using different heat transfer methods like convection and conduction.
Pawelphyschem
Physical evidence includes marks and impressions like footprints and tool marks, as well as trace evidence like fibers, glass, and paint. Analysis of these can provide clues about what happened during a crime. Footprints and toolmarks can be lifted like fingerprints for analysis. Fibers come in different types and shapes that can be identified. Different types of glass can be identified by their color, density, and refractive index. Blood spatter patterns depend on factors like size, direction, and force, and can reveal details about what took place. Chemical evidence includes substances like paint, drugs, and ink that can be analyzed to gain information about a crime. Chromatography and other techniques are used to identify chemicals and substances. Paint analysis examines color

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
