Evolution And Diversity of Living Things

Evolution is caused by natural selection which is where the ones that are more adapted to surviving in the environment are more likely to survive predators and continues to breed passing on the successive gene. For example, evolution happens because of four things there is variation within a species those variations are inheritable there is limited resources in an ecosystem, and thus, competition between members of a species for those resources the members of a species with the traits best suited to acquire resources tend to leave behind more offspring than those without those traits. Genetic diversity is an important thing in the survival and adaptability of a species. When a populations habitat changes, the population may have to adapt to survive. High genetic diversity is also essential for a species to evolve. Species that have less genetic variation are at a greater risk. With very little gene variation within the species, healthy reproduction becomes increasingly difficult, and offspring are more likely to deal with problems such as inbreeding.

The genetic variation is a variation in alleles of genes, occurs both within and among populations. Genetic variation is important because it provides the genetic material for natural selection. Genetic variation is brought about by mutation, which is a permanent change in the chemical structure of a gene. Polyploidy is an example of chromosomal mutation. Polyploidy is a condition wherein organisms have three or more sets of genetic variation.

Without genetic variations there can be no evolution. Natural selection is the selection of those variations. Natural selection (the driving force of evolution) is the selection of genetic variations by how they affect the organism's chances of survival or reproduction. If they diminish it's chances, the organism or its immediate offspring die and the gene is gone.

Taoism

Taoism:)

philosophy:

Taoism is a Chinese philosophy Antigua, later my religion, based on the way the naturalesa. The word Tao means the way or path of naturalesa. is one of the three religions of China traditionally taught the Chinese people. With him included Confucianism and Buddhism.

Who created it:

Its founder, Lao-tse was born in the sixth century BC. Occupies an important place in the emperor's court, but when he saw such corruption decides to organize a trip to the Far West "Tao-te-King", proposes a very different way of salvation by Confucius. His doctrine about Hinduism. He says the important thing is to get away from all the sensory and walk the pure, the Tao. The Tao is the source of heaven and earth, from whom all things come, is who regulates the Yin-Yang. The three fundamental virtues of Taoism

My Worst Mistake Ever Essay

My Worst Mistake Ever!

From the people that I know 99% has had a big problem and they learn some very good lessons from their  mistakes. One day my mom and i were all bored at home with nothing to do. We could almost go to sleep for a thousand years. When all of a sudden something would pop in my mom’s head. My mom said that before she left to work she was able to give me some lessons on  how to cook for myself and how to lite the stove with a. When my mom was teaching me all of this step by step she never imagined that I would have any problems with not being able to handle it with precaution.But that day latter at  Lakewood Elementary School I got so carried away that lots of bad things happened.

Jumping right off my bed with lots of excitement on my face, it was like i had a smile all over my face like the sun across the sky, i went to school to show what my mom had taught me.As soon as I saw my friend Crystal walk in the classroom, I ran up to her and I told her that for the first time I had cooked something and I had turned a match on. I also went to Crystals house to cook for her family! They thought that the food was so delicious, so then Rosa, Crystal’s, mom wanted me to teach her how i made the food.

The next day, at school me and Crystal went to go ask our teacher if we can go to the restroom.Then she said “Yes you may go but do not mess around and come right back when you girls are done with your business!Okay!?”The truth was that Crystal and I were not really going to the restroom we were just going to go to try to lite up a fire in the restroom.So that we can sort of make us look all tuff in front of everyone. As soon as the smoke detectors smelled the smoke coming out of the restroom it started to ring very hard that it did not stop until like 30 minutes after. The fire we created was eating our whole school! Since Crystal and I saw that the fire alarm would no come off we got very scared and we did not know what to do! So then we just decided to go outside of the restroom  and go straight to our class just like if we had not done anything bad in there.

”CRYSTAL LEMUS & JENNIFER LEMUS PLEASE COME HERE YOU LADIES ARE IN SO MUCH BIG TROUBLE! “ Screamed our teacher very furiously with a face that looked like she was gonna die of the anger.

Then the principal took us to her office right there she had a very serious talk with us. She looked evil like the devil.She got us suspended for ten days, without being able to go to the restroom or without being able to do anything fun with the rest of the classmates. As soon as mom heard what we had done that at school she was so disappointed with me and then she got me in to trouble. She took away the most important thing to me in the world which is my phone!

The days came and passed by, very slow like a turtle and I was still grounded until one day my mom just decided to give me back my phone! That was if I promised her that I will never do this anymore.  That i would only use it for the necessary. When I got to school the school’s principal made me promise her the  same thing as my mom did to me. She told me to promise her that I will not do that ever again. And so it was everything got fixed I got my phone back and Ms. Wise gave me my academic learning time.

To conclude, having bad days with lots of problem just because you can’t  manage how to use a match can because you lots of trouble especially if you do like me not want to use the match wisely. It can cause lots of danger, problems and can also cause you lots of money because you’re parents are going to have to pay for whoever has been injured in the accident. Hope that this error does not happen to you just like it happened to me when my mom shows me how to turn on a match and I was not able to take care for my own actions.

My Sun Poem :)

I sparkle brightly in the beautiful  orange sky.

I view down at the green grass hills.

I crawl slowly behind the grass hills.

I glide happily across the orange sky.

I am the sun.

I bump across the other grass hills next to me.

I dance happily when the sun shines on me.

I grow fast when it rains on me.

I bloom beautiful flowers when i am happy.

I am the beautiful green grass hills.

I explore the world out there when i fly up high.

I stretch my wings widely across the orange sky.

I swim calmly across the sky.

I smell all different types of things when I'm up in the sky wondering around.

I am the birds.

Chemical Bonds Essay Physical Science

Chemical Bonds Essay

First I am going to tell you about the ionic bond. An ionic bond, bonds a metal and a nonmetal. Also in the ionic bond and electron is transferred, making a positive ion and a negative ion. The ionic bond makes solids with strong bonds, that are very hard to melt.  This bond also gains or loses an electron . For example the atom that takes the electron becomes a negative ion. Then the other atom loses an electron and becomes a positive ion. Finally it results in a repeating lattice pattern of ions. One example would be like salt (NACL).

Then I am going to tell you about the metallic bond. This bond, bonds a metal and metal. The metallic bond has an electron cloud around the atoms also known as the “Sea Of Electrons”. The atoms donate outside electrons to the whole group.They are a very good conductor of all states, lustrous, very high melting point. An example would be NA, FE,AL,AU and CO. To sum up the metallic  

bond share their electrons.

Finally I am going to tell you about Covalent Bonds. Covalent Bonds are formed by the sharing of electron pairs. For example Water (H2O). Thus bond, bonds a metal and a nonmetal. Between non-metal the elemnts have the similar electronegativity. However they are not good conductors of any state.
