    Rodrigo,

    I'll provide you with a decode so you can respond for the final part of your assignment.

    I didn't see any errors in your coding process. Well done! Please let me know if I came up with the right sentence. Here is my decode:

    DNA: GGTCTACACCTGTTGGGTCACCTGAAAATATAAGTGCATCGACC
    RNA: CCAGAUGUGGACAACCCAGUGGACUUUUAUAUUCACGUAGCUGG
    Codons: AUG UGG ACA ACC CAG UGG ACU UUU AUA UUC ACG UAG
    (start) The skull monster ate the pizza in time for school. (stop)

Historical Influences on Darwin

1.      Charles Lyell. 2.      Charles Lyell was a geologist from the 1800s. He followed the ideas of a Scottish farmer, James Hutton.   The ideas described how Earth was transformed by changes overtime, so Lyell traveled Europe in order to prove the concept. His version later became known as uniformitarianism. Lyell’s theory deeply influences Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by viewing it as “a sort of biological uniformitarianism.” (Source: https://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/history_12 ) 3.      “ Individuals do not evolve. Populations do. Individuals cannot change their heritable traits; they can only pass them on. Evolution does not occur within a generation. It occurs between generations.”   This point was influenced by Lyell’s gradual change theory because the gradual change theory of uniformitarianism consisted of tiny changes to the environment. These tiny given a...

Human Variation & Race

1.      Solar radiation is part of our daily life. It is sunlight and we need some exposure from it to survive. High levels of exposure to solar radiation and it can greatly affect the human body. At first, it can cause minor damage to the skin in the form of sunburn damage. Over time, continuous high exposure can lead to skin cancer. Unfortunately, people who have or had cancer increase the likelihood of their offspring’s chances of developing cancer. 2. a. short-term: As solar radiation hits the skin, the skin quickly produces melanin to protect it. b. facultative: As the skin absorbed sunlight, it begins creating vitamin D. Vitamin D is useful for healthy bones, reducing risk of flu, cancer prevention, etc. c. developmental: The development of various skin color emerged due to the location humans were located. Those closer to the equator had darker skin and those furthest from it had lighter skin. d. Cultural: The u...

Homology vs Analogy

Image
1.      Homologous Traits a.      Humans are bipedal mammals in the family Hominidae with origins in Africa about 250,000 years ago.. Giraffes have long necks, have distinct spotted markings and are the tallest mammals on Earth. b.      Despite the size differences, both giraffes and humans have seven neck bones. Giraffes use their necks to reach for leaves in tall trees. Each neck bone is about 11 inches. Humans have a much smaller neck bones. Humans do not use their neck for neck battles like giraffes do. c.      The common ancestor of these two species is a mammal from the dinosaur era. The skeleton of the prehistoric mammal was reconstructed and was discovered that it had 7 neck bones in its vertebrae. 2.      Analogous Traits a.      Ducks are birds who like and live in places like ponds, streams and rivers. They a...
