Apart from the novelty of being such rare fish, have very great zoological importance. First, they are "living fossils"-a life form that has been preserved almost unchanged for many millions of years. As such, they offer the scientist a view of the biology of an earlier stage in the history of life. Second, the group of fishes to which the coelacan .....

Cloning

From what I have researched I have come to understand that currently is very “Hit or Miss”(Hawley). From 277 attempts, Dolly was the only successful attempt. The point is however that we now have a man created sheep, what else could be done in the near future. There are many different goals for genetic .

The digestion system of a shark contains a “spiral valve” intestinal system, which increases the surface area and lengthens the time food is digested in the unusually short intestine system of a shark. Sharks sexually reproduce. Unlike a shark, rays have flattened bodies so they can hide themselves in the sand at the bottom of any shallow water area and wait for a meal. Rays also have a whiplike tail for defense and jaws, which it uses to crush mollusks and cru .....

The Human Brain

nervous system.
The brain doesn't just control your organs, but also can think and
remember. That part of the brain is called the mind.
PROTECTING THE BRAIN
Twenty-eight bones make up the skull. Eight of these bones are
interlocking plates. These plates form the cranium. The cranium provides
maximum protection with minimum weight, the ideal combination. The other
twenty bones make up the face, jaw and other parts of the skull.
Another way the brain keeps it self safe is by keeping itself in
liquid. Nearly one fifth of the blood pumped by the heart is sent to the
brain. Th .....

Extinction Of Dinosaurs
Words: 684 - Pages: 3.... have proposed scenarios that could have caused these
extinctions. One such scenario involves the growing number of small mammals
which ate dinosaur eggs, and therefore caused the dinosaurs' birth rate to drop.
The birth rate became smaller than the death rate and the dinosaurs died out.
This, however, is not a plausible scenario. This would only account for the
dinosaurs, but not all the other creatures of that time. Paleontologists needed
to come up with a more plausible and devastating theory that would include the
other creatures that died out 65 million years ago.
There have been several major theories that have come about that can a .....

50 years later Darwin came up with a theory that most scientist
believe it to this day. this is called the theory of evolution. His book was

The Autumn And The Fall Of Leaves

than a discreet touch. They make a little sound, less than the least of sounds.
No bird at night in the marshes rustles so slightly, no men, though men are the
most refined of living beings, put so passing a stress upon their sacred
whispers or their prayers. The leaves are hardly heard, but they are heard just
