As the peppered moth evolved over time, its wings changed from light to dark so that it could better hide from predators. The evolution of peppered moth is used an example of natural selection. The evolution of the peppered moth over the last two hundred years has been studied in detail. Originally, the vast majority of peppered moths had light coloration, which effectively camouflaged them against the light-colored trees and lichens which they rested upon. However, because of the wide spread pollution during the Industrial revolution in England, many of the lichens died out, and the trees that peppered moths, or typica, to die off from predation. At the same time, the dark-colored, or melanic, moths, carbonaria, flourished because of their ability to hide on the darkened trees.
Antarctic fish species requires an adaptation to cold environment. Living at cold temperature environment would demand certain biological responses such as cutaneous respiration, enlarged blood vessels, and producing greater amounts of fat. Most of these fat are composed of higher phospolipid levels which are primarily due to phosphatidylethanolamine. This phospolipid is responsible for destabilizing cell membranes and make it more fluid thereby allowing unrestricted blood flow. The fatty acid composition of the membrane lipid is important for membrane fluidity, this is mainly attributed to unsaturated fatty acids which are responsible for decreasing the order of membrane lipids thereby decreasing viscosity. At extremely low temperatures, organisms with low concentration of unsaturated fatty acids would freeze cell membranes. That's why antarctic fishes have higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids.
This is a case of a patient that needs his subtalar joint to be immobilized by the fusion of supporting bones. This is called arthrodesis and the corresponding CPT code for arthrodesis procedures in the foot and toes is CPT 28715. The patient also underwent bone grafting from the fibula to fill in the defects in the talus. The CPT code for general grafts or implants procedures in the musculoskeletal system is CPT 20902-51.

It's like editing over what's already written. it's the process of reading something and marking for any error. (: Usually deemed more helpful when you let two completely different people proof read the same paper to get a better result!
Good luck, rockstar! (: I wish you the best and hope you pass!
