Evolution is a process by which species change over the years. Various views explaining how evolution takes place have been prop

osed by scientists across the decades. Though most of these theories have been discarded, those of two scientists have been supported by different segments of the scientific community.
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposed the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics to explain the process of evolution. It suggests that an organism can change itself willfully and pass on the acquired characteristics to the next generation or its offspring. Individuals develop traits that are useful and discard others that are not according to a predefined plot. Lamarck combined these two thoughts in his theory and substantiated them by evidence. One piece of evidence cited by him was that of the giraffe’s long neck. He said that giraffes stretched their necks to reach leaves on branches of high trees, and this gradually lengthened their necks over time. This acquired trait of a long neck was inherited by their offspring, and thus all giraffes now have long necks.
If you were to debate Lamarck today about his theory, what core concept in biology would you rely on?
A) Organisms lacking favorable traits will become extinct.
B) Mutations do not result in beneficial genetic variation.
C) Traits cannot be chosen willfully, but are randomly inherited from our parents.
D) Environmental stresses cause organisms to change, regardless of their genetic make-up.

How do oxygen and carbon dioxide cross capillary walls?
muminat
The answer is diffusion.

The most important mechanism that enables oxygen and carbon dioxide (but as well other small molecules such as glucose, amino acids, wastes) across capillary walls is diffusion. Diffusion is a net movement of molecules through some barrier from an area of high concentration to the area of low concentration. When blood rich in oxygen reaches capillaries close to the cell, now there <span>is </span>more oxygen in the capillaries than in the cells and by diffusion, oxygen will pass capillary walls and enter the cell. Since blood in capillaries lacks in carbon dioxide, it will easily leave the cells and enter the blood. It should be taken into consideration that capillary walls may be fenestrated, continuous, and discontinuous which can affect movement through them.

Biotechnology, by the word itself is a technology that is centered in biology. It is the exploitation of biological process. Biotechnology has harness the cellular and bio molecular processes to develop technologies and product that help us elevate our lives. With the help of biotechnology, we are able to modify the products for its specific use. Let me give you an example of the following:

<span>1.    </span>Medicine: In medicine, the modern biotechnology had provided products that could combat rare diseases. Currently, around 250 biotechnology health care products and vaccines were made as well as those that are known to be untreated.

<span>2.    </span>Agriculture: With the help of biotechnology, we can reduce some of the environmental footprint. It has been reported that it is more than 13.3 million farmers used biotechnology products to prevent damage from the yield cause by the pest.

<span>3.    </span>Conservation: Biotechnology also help us reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
