Blog 5 Explain how different species form (speciation)

One way speciation can happen is by a natural disaster causing geographic isolation. Geographic isolation is when the environment of a species seperates causing a new species to be created. For example, if an earthquake was to happen in between the ocean causing seperation between two creatures that are the same, a new species would emerge because they would have to learn to survive in the new enviroment.

Blog #4 Summarize what Darwin said about evolution.

Darwin's theory is based on key observations and inferences drawn from them:

1. Species have great fertility. They have more offspring than can grow to adulthood.
2. Populations remain roughly the same size, with small changes.
3. Food resources are limited, but are relatively stable over time.
4. An implicit struggle for survival ensues.
5. In sexually reproducing species, generally no two individuals are identical.

Blog entry #1 Predict a way that genetics will be used much more frequently in the future. Defend your prediction.

I think that genetics will be used more often in the criminal justice system to catch criminals. Also to cure and prevent diseases that have not yet been cured. It may define the future of medicine but along with good benefits come downfalls.

Blog #2 Should we clone full humans? For what purpose?

Yes i think we should be able to clone full humans. I think we should be able to as long as the person(s) that are being cloned approve of it.It would be cool because if you feel sick or you cannot make it somewhere important you can always send your clone to replace you. It may be cool but also have some defects.

A twin is generally defined as one of two offspring produced in the same pregnancy and/or born at the same birth process, although people with unusually high genetical similarity also may be called twins although they may not be born at the same time.
