Being able to identify how predation and competition influence natural selection is essential in understanding the evolutionary ecology of a population of species. In predation, substandard individuals are inherently selected. By substandard these are the young, sick and physically unfit individuals. As a result, preys also evolve into a more resilient ones putting pressure also to the predators. This scenario reflects a coevolution of both predators and preys. In this study, we will examine the predatory-prey relationship and understand the dynamics involved in relation to environmental changes.

SWOT analysis helps an individual or an organization to identify internal (Strengths (S) and Weaknesses (W)) and external (Opportunities (O) and Threats (T)) factors for success. The analysis then enables the individual or organization to focus on exploiting strengths and opportunities while addressing weaknesses and threats to improve performance. There are also other factors that affect a person or organization’s performance, which include political, economic, social and technological (PEST) factors. A PEST analysis considers each of the external forces particularly how they affect a person or organization. This is followed by the development of a plan for dealing with these forces ...

Academic Affiliation

Mass media is a powerful tool that influences people’s attitude and way of thinking. In forming a perception about male and women, media contributes to the stereotypes people develop about men and women as a result of the roles they portray in movies and TV shows.

Introduction

Organizations around the world have a tendency to assume that the best way to have projects accomplished is through teamwork. Richard Hackman, an expert in team dynamics, conducted various studies and concluded that teamwork was not necessarily the best way to complete a challenging project. The comment was as a result of revelations from his researches that the majority of team members rarely agree on what the team should be doing. Underperformance, therefore, arises from a lack of coordination and inspiration. Richard Hackman’s comment merely suggested that use of teams to complete complex projects was entirely meaningless. Rather, he wanted team leaders ...

The idea, in addition, should have a proper estimate of costs, tools and the equipment that will be needed. Individuals should ensure that there is the availability of tools for implementation to reduce stumbling blocks (Lager, 2011). The requirements for implementation ...

Introduction:

Scientists believe that the gymnosperms developed from an extinct phylum whose members reproduced through spores (E. Taylor, T. Taylor, & Krings, 2009). The first true gymnosperms, however, produced seeds instead of spores. As a result, the evolution of the seeds became a fundamental adaptation of the gymnosperms to the dry conditions on land. The second factor that made the group successful on land was the development of pollen grains, which transported and protected the male gametes. Hence, unlike the seedless vascular plants, the gymnosperms became less dependent on the aquatic conditions for the success of fertilization. Instead, they gained the ability to ...

Microbiology laboratory report

Abstract
Bacteriophages are intracellular parasitic viruses that infect bacteria to carry out their multiplication. During the lytic infection cycles, phages lyse the host cells forming a clear zone called plaque on the agar media. The experiment is aimed to measure the number of plaques created when the virus T4 infects the host bacteria and their genetic material integrates into the genetic material of the host cell. This happens because the E.coli becomes resistant to T4 bacteriophage. The T4 phage was diluted in a test tube and then E.coli bacteria was added in the tubes. The mixture was poured with soft ...

There are many different kinds of cheating, but one of the most important forms of cheating in academia is the issue of plagiarism.

The cost, time, specification triangle is a visual way of expressing the constraints that govern all project management projects (Lock, 2007, p. 7). It is a useful way to show the relationship between the key components of a project and because of their inter-relationship, it provides a reminder that changes in any of the three constraints will have an impact on the remaining ones. However, there are issues when attempting to use this approach as the sole way of determining if a project was successful. In particular, the cost, time, and specification are always determined in relation to the needs of the client for ...

For years, many scholars such as sociologists and behavioral scientists believe that presence of subcultures between societies has generated varying social norms that appear to be extensively diverse from each other. Thus creates a confusion on what is generally accepted as the norms because what maybe a norm in one subculture may be regarded as deviant in another.
Such great disparity between norms has caused some to view that modern societies are now turning into a state of “anomie”or the lack of social norms. Structural tension and lack of moral regulations, as what the “Functionalist Theories” assert, can become the ...

Part I. A concept that I find interesting in John W. Gardner’s, ‘On Leadership’, is the concept of ‘leaders shape and are shaped.’ There are many inherent qualities that give one leader potential, such as determination, motivation, and goal orientation. These qualities enable a leader to continue to push forward regardless of the obstacles they may encounter. When it comes to motivating, leaders must be able to motivate and influence those that depend on them in a way that shapes them into stronger minds and greater achievers. John W. Gardner’s, ‘On Leadership’ explains all of theses concepts but does ...
