The Englishman Robert Hooke (18th July 1635 - 3rd March 1703) was an architect, natural philosopher and brilliant scientist, best known for his law of elasticity (Hooke's law), his book Micrographia, published in 1665 and for first applying the word "cell" to describe the basic unit of life. It is also less well known that there is substantial evidence that Hooke developed the spring watch escapement, independently of and some fifteen years before Huygens, who is credited for this invention. Hooke also is recognised for his work on gravity, and his work as an architect and surveyor.
Hooke's Micrographia
Here, we focus on his pioneering work using the microscope to document observations of a variety of samples in his book Micrographia, published in September 1665.
Hooke began his famed career by initially studying at Wadham College, Oxford, where he worked closely under John Wilkins with other contemporaries, including Thomas Willis and Robert Boyle, for whom he built the vacuum pumps used in Boyle's gas law experiments. He also built some of the earliest telescopes, observing the rotations of Mars and Jupiter, and, based on his observations of fossils, was an early proponent of biological evolution. If that wasn't enough, he investigated the phenomenon of refraction, deducing the wave theory of light, and was the first to suggest that matter expands when heated and that air is made of small particles separated by relatively large distances, yet curiously Robert Hooke is somewhat overlooked in his contributions to science, perhaps as there were many people who wrote of Hooke as a difficult personality, being described as of "cynical temperament" and of "caustic tongue". There were also disputes with fellow scientists, including disputes with Isaac Newton over credit for work on gravitation and the planets. Though it must be remembered that Hooke lived at a time of immense scientific progress and discovery and none of the above diminish Hooke'
The answer is confirmation bias. This is the tendency to look for evidence that will confirm ones hypothesis and ignoring anything else that does not lead to the hypothesis. In this situation confirmation bias is evident due to the fact that you look for anything that confirms your hypothesis and ignore anything else that does not point to drug abuse.
The right option is; D) mitosis
In multicellular organisms, life begins as a single cell until mitosis occurs, causing growth.
Mitosis is a process of cell division, and a part of the cell cycle in which a single cell divides, and produces two identical daughter cells (new nuclei) that contains the same shares of the parent’s cell part. Mitosis occurs in multi cellular organisms, and its primary purpose is for growth, and to replace worn out cells. Mitosis contains four basic stages which are; prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Constructive forces build mountains and hills, and are caused by convergent plate boundaries
Answer:
Human genome editing shouldn’t be used for enhancement – yet
Explanation:
While gene editing is already saving lives, for now, the technique shouldn’t be used to edit embryos or create changes that will be passed on through the generations. So say the authors of a new report on editing the human genome.
