Describe and evaluate the evolutionary theory of food preferences According to an evolutionary approach current human behaviour can be understood in terms of how it may have been adaptive in our ancestral past. Evolutionary theorists are concerned with behaviour which is adaptive and having survival value‚ these researchers look for ultimate explanations. Current behaviours may be maladaptive and dysfunctional but can be understood as having been adaptive and functional in some way. To undertake

Biology Vocabulary: 1. Immigration: influx of individuals into an area 2. Emigration: movement of individuals out an area. 3. Logistic growth: (shown with an S-shaped curve) population growth that levels off at carrying capacity. 4. Exponential growth: (shown as J-shaped curve) geometric increase of a population as it grows into an ideal unlimited environment. 5. Niche: the sum total of a species use of the abiotic and biotic resources in its environment 6. Symbiosis: an ecological relationship

supported hypotheses and evidence to support the theory of evolution. Evidence include that of the fossil record‚ comparative anatomy and embryology‚ as well as molecular biology and experimental evolution. The evidence presented supports the theory of evolution by natural selection but it must not be taken as proof. All evolutionary evidence is presented in a way that assumes evolution occurs. Fossils and the fossil record have‚ for

Evolutionary Biology vs. Creationism Evolutionary biology and Creationism are both alike and different in many ways. Evolutionary biology is known as an “interdisciplinary field”. That is because it is known to include scientists from a wide range of both field and lab oriented disciplines. Evolutionary biology includes scientist who have special training in mammalogy‚ ornithology‚ and herpetology. Creationism only has one creator‚ which is God. God is the one and only scientist and creator of

I have been inspired to pursue biology as a subject since my time at high school. During my GCSE stages of high school‚ I became fascinated by animal behaviour‚ ecology and evolution of different species and different organisms. Developing on from this‚ my current studies in applied science has enabled me to enjoy participating in practicals‚ working in a group‚ and working as an individual‚ having the opportunity to widen my experiences in practical sciences. I have particularly enjoyed scientific

AP BIOLOGY EXAM ESSAY (FREE RESPONSE) QUESTIONS General directions: Answers must be in essay form. Labeled diagrams may be used to supplement discussion‚ but in no case will a diagram alone suffice. It is important that you read each question completely‚ and answer each section of the question. When giving examples‚ the first ones you give will be the ones graded. (if two examples are asked for‚ and you write about 4‚ make sure the first two are the best ones; they are the only ones counted

I am very good at Biology as it is the main subject required for this course and have a good understanding on a cellular level of organisms (plants and animals). I am a negotiator and prefer to work in teams‚ paying close attention to everyone’s opinion and making decisions accordingly. I have studied all three sciences at school level and because Biology was the subject I was very much interested in is what has compelled me to pursue a career in a Biology related field. At level 3 I am

Science Natural Selection/Evolution Study Guide Important People: - Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection after collecting and studying many organisms on the voyage of the H.M.S. Beagle. - Jean Baptiste Larmarck (1700s): he was a soldier and a biologist and an early proponent of the idea of evolution and natural laws. - George Cuvier (1800s): Was in instrumental in establishing the field of comparative anatomy through his work in comparing living
