Evolution

Metals are essential for life because they play crucial roles in biological processes, such as enzyme catalysis, electron transport, and structural stability of biomolecules. In the origin of life, metals could have facilitated the formation of complex organic molecules and acted as catalysts for prebiotic reactions. Additionally, metals are abundant in the Earth's crust and could have been readily available for early life forms to utilize.

Fad diets typically promise quick weight loss results through restrictive or unbalanced eating patterns. They often lack scientific evidence to support their effectiveness or sustainability in the long term, and can lead to nutritional deficiencies or health risks if followed for an extended period.

In incomplete dominance, the phenotype of the heterozygous individual will be intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes. For example, if one allele leads to red flowers and another allele leads to white flowers, a heterozygous individual will have pink flowers.

Evolution at the population level refers to changes in the genetic composition of a group of interbreeding individuals over successive generations. It involves processes such as natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and mutation that result in shifts in the frequency of different genetic variants within a population.

The theory of evolution is driven by the evidence of traits changing in populations over time, as well as the concept of natural selection where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. This theory helps explain the diversity of life on Earth and how species adapt to changes in their environment.

Stabilizing selection is where a population is favored by just the right amount of a certain trait, and if they don't have the right amount of that certain trait then they die.

Example: Human babies and birth weight, if the baby is too small, i gets sick. If the baby is too big, it cannot get through the pelvis; but just the right weight and it will come out lively and well.

Disruptive selection is when an animal has to fit in with its environment; I.E., camouflage.

Prokaryotes are older, more basic in function and shape, do not contain a true nucleus or any membrane-bound organelles, unicellular (for the most part - some bacteria have multicellular stages in their life), and consist of bacteria and archae (old bacteria).

Eukaryotes can be uni- or multi-cellular, have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, are generally more complex in shape and function, much larger than prokaryotes and evolved later in history.

These are just some basic comparisons.

The lack of availability of ancient fossils older than 0.54 billion years is due to geological processes like erosion, tectonic activity, and the recycling of Earth's crust. These processes can destroy or bury old fossils, making them difficult to find and study. Additionally, early life forms may not have had hard body parts that could fossilize easily, further complicating the preservation of ancient life records.

Punctuated equilibrium is the term used to describe the pattern of evolution where a species remains stable for long periods and then experiences rapid evolutionary change. This theory suggests that speciation occurs in quick bursts, followed by long periods of little change in the species.

Stasis occurs when a species shows little to no morphological change over a long period of time in punctuated equilibrium theory. This can happen during the periods of stability in between rapid bursts of evolutionary change.

One hypothesis regarding plant evolution is that early plants evolved from aquatic species and eventually adapted to living on land to take advantage of new resources and habitats. This transition likely involved the development of specialized structures such as roots, waxy cuticles, and vascular tissues to support plant growth and reproduction on land.

Punctuated Equilibria is a theory proposed by Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge to explain patterns of speciation in the fossil record. They pointed out that the record seems to show most species undergo long periods of relatively little change (stasis), then undergo rapid bursts of change at irregular (punctuated) intervals. Evolution did not seem to proceed at a stately, constant, slow speed. Gould and Eldredge explained this by taking the standard idea of how species form (allopatric speciation, or speciation in small isolated groups at the periphery of populations) and showing that this process would produce exactly the pattern which is observed in the fossil record. Essentially, evolution and speciation can occur rapidly in small isolated populations, sometimes too quickly for the fossil record to track all of the intermediate forms. The result is what looks like abrupt emergence of forms with little or no transitional stages, when in reality the evolution had occurred through intermediate stages, only too quickly for the slow process of fossilization to capture it.

there was a relatively rapid period of evolutionary change followed by long periods of stability without much change in the species. This suggests that evolution does not always happen gradually and continuously, but rather in punctuated bursts of change.

Nematocysts are the stinging cells on tentacles of a cnidarian, like a jellyfish. Since jellyfish don't have any teeth, and their body consists of gelatin, it's hard to capture prey. Nematocysts help jellyfish with feeding by stinging the prey in an attempt at trying to immobilizing the prey.

Alkanes are a family of organic molecules that consist entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms with single covalent bonds. They are a type of hydrocarbon due to their composition of only carbon and hydrogen atoms.

genes

The term itself refers to the gradual shift of something over time.

More specifically, in biology it refers to the gradual shift in traits in a population as caused by natural selection. Traits which are harmful or cause an organism to have a decreased chance to survive are 'selected against' in that they are less likely to pass on those traits. Likewise, traits which are beneficial cause there to be an increased chance the organism will survive to pass on it's traits.

1. The theory of natural selection proposed by Charles Darwin suggests that species evolve over time through the process of differential survival and reproduction of individuals with advantageous traits.
2. The theory of genetic mutation and genetic drift posits that changes in the genetic makeup of a population occur due to random mutations and genetic variations over generations, leading to new traits and species.

Phenotype. The physical expressed characteristics of an organisms genotype is known as its phenotype. Two organisms may have the same phenotype, but different genotype depending on the dominate or recessive genes present. Just remember physical=pheno.

Members of chromosome pairs separate during mitosis to ensure that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes. This separation is necessary to maintain the correct genomic content in offspring cells and prevent abnormalities such as aneuploidy.

it states that individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits on to future generations. Over time, this process leads to the accumulation of beneficial traits in a population, driving the evolution of species.

Evolutionists believe coal formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient plants that were buried, compressed, and heated under the Earth's surface. The process of coal formation is part of the carbon cycle and involves the transformation of organic matter into a carbon-rich substance due to geological processes.

If a zombie could exist, the brain would have to remain alive in order to send neurological impulses to the musculature in order to ambulate. Brain and musculature both would be the only systems still getting oxygen, delivered by the animating Z-factor, probably by osmosis, but nowhere near as efficiently as a functional cardiopulmonary system.

A human body, even a dead one, is still about 90% water, and water freezes in the winter when the temperatures drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Zombies have no body heat, so they would freeze solid, including moisture in their brain. When water freezes, it expands, so any fluid in the brain or around it such as the subarachnoid area on the surface of the brain would freeze and cause rupturing of the brain tissue and extensive trauma, destroying the zombie in all likelihood.

Even if they could somehow survive such brain trauma, they would be frozen solid, unable to move, and would be easy pickings for any human with a weapon.

Edit: as much as I like answers from my Contacts, I need to clarify a point about clothing. Clothing is not inherently "warm" - it is inherently "insulate. A jacket cannot "warm you up" if you have no body heat for the jacket to trap and conduct back to you. Clothing also reduces skin-to-air loss of heat by minimizing conduction and convection of air currents over your skin, but that doesn't help if you have no body heat in the first place. No offense, I just had to clarify that point
