A) According to Dan Vergano from the National Geographic, arthropods have been adapting since the age of the dinosaur. Stick bugs, in particular, are known for this trait. I am interested in the article Stick Insects Have Mimicked Plants Since Age of Dinosaurs because I am fascinated by the survival and change of an entire species of bugs based off of camouflage. This article shows that physical traits can be just as important to survival as biological and chemical traits. It is interesting to know the bugs like any animal, even humans, adapts to increase their survival. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/03/140319-ancient-stick-insect-science-plants-evolution/
B) Researchers are trying to discover when stick bugs began mimicking
The Jurassic Period is a time period were new dinosaurs were being discovered and found. It was about 199.6 to 145.5 million years ago. Some of the species that were found in the Jurassic Period are the Stegosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Allosaurus. Each dinosaur had their own characteristics for survival.
My teacher Jessica wants me to plan a trip on weekend. I go home and do a research, so I decided to go to the museum. The museum I would like to go to is the Dinosaur Museum.
1) Wu talks to Hammond about creating a version 4.4 of all of the dinosaurs because of the fact that they move so quickly and are far too difficult to take care of, so he believes that this version should make them slower. Hammond doesn't agree with this as he believes that the dinosaurs wouldn't be real if they altered them, but Wu states that they already aren't real because they are engineered.
The movie Jurassic Park is based on scientists trying to successfully extracting dinosaur DNA from the thorax, cloning it, and breeding a variety of dinosaurs. Everything took place in a remote village of Costa Rica. As a plot unfold, it becomes very clear that the Velociraptor is the most dangerous of them all. John Hammond, the man who started it all, made his project more cost efficient by using a few personnel as possible in the park. However, the park never got the chance to open, due to the tragic that happened during a visit by private parties.
Females for the nourishment of the young could define a mammal as a warm-blooded vertebrate animal of a class that is distinguished by the possession of hair or fur, the secretion of milk. The roots of the mammalian line reach back almost 300 million years. Some of the very early mammal relatives dominated the landscape millions of years before dinosaurs appeared, and most of these species became extinct. During the age of dinosaurs, most mammals were not much bigger than small rodents. It was after the extinction of the large dinosaurs that the great diversity of mammals arose. The timeline in this hall displays the development of such key mammalian physical features as the synapsid opening in the skull, a large hole behind the eye socket
Lisa Randall, a cosmologist who studied at Harvard, affirms on her theory that sixty-¬six million years ago, based on her dark-matter disk model, a miniscule tic, caused by an invisible force in the distant reaches of the cosmos, threw a comet three times the width of Manhattan towards the Earth at about 38,500 miles per hour. The crash created the most powerful earthquake of all time and released energy a billion times that of an atomic bomb, like a burning incinerator, the atmosphere dramatically heated and killed three-quarters of life on Earth. As a result, creatures less than 55 pounds survived; among them were some dinosaurs: the Microraptor that stood about 16 inches, the Theropod which averaged about two feet long and weighed about seven pounds and the Saltopus, also standing about two feet. As you might know, ordinary matter contains an
The force was definitely with everyone because the first installation for the new trilogy hauled in a hefty $517 Million, making it the biggest North American debut of all time according to a studio estimates. Now I think, to say that the force was strong on this one is an understatement.
There are different kinds of dinosaurs around the earth. Dinosaurs are in museums and in the ground, there are probably more about dinosaurs to be discovered. For my research I will be finding things and information about the Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex).
Argument 1: Why I believe there is dinosaurs in my backyard because back when there was dinosaurs there was a shallow sea around hallett cove south Australia which it would be where we are right now.
The dinosaurs lived on earth for about 165 million years before an asteroid lead to their Extinction (Weems, Robert). Over the years, several theories have been made regarding the extinction of the dinosaurs. The first theory is that the dinosaurs died from global plagues or a supernova. The second theory is that the dinosaurs died from an asteroid hitting the earth.This paper will explain why the second theory is the correct theory. While some experts believe the dinosaurs became extinct due to global plagues or of a supernova, they were actually killed by an asteroid.
Sixty-Five Million years ago, a giant space rock believed to be some six miles across hit Earth near the town of Chicxulub, Mexico, blasting a crater more than 110 miles wide. The impact is believed to have released as much energy as 100 trillion tons of TNT, more than 1 billion times the power of the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. The giant mosasaurs and plesiosaurs in the seas and the pterosaurs in the skies. Plankton, the base of the ocean food chain, took a hard hit. Many families of brachiopods and sea sponges disappeared. The remaining hard-shelled ammonites vanished. Shark diversity shriveled. Most vegetation withered. In all, more than half of the world's species were obliterated.
The scientists have a big responsibility when they are working with changing the DNA of dinosaurs. However cloning as well as monetary benefit has a great deal of positive and negative medical benefits. Nevertheless the idea of cloning is a very costly procedure. When genetically preprogramming the dinosaurs they must be prepared to deal with the behavioural outbursts and must make sure that everyone is safe. For example; in Jurassic Park they used electric fences to keep the dinosaurs in their cages. They also had trackers put into the dinosaurs to keep track of them all of the time, but they did not realized that not all of the dinosaurs were being tracked. The scientists changed the DNA in the dinosaurs so they were all females, because
It has been said that fossils Provide snapshots of the past for us to study and learn from.
In 1993, director Stephen Spielberg released the blockbuster hit Jurassic Park. The sci-fi film explored the potential outcome of cloning dinosaurs from prehistoric DNA. The velociraptors, dilophosaurus’, and triceratops’ seemed to thrive from the beginning of the movie, hunting down prey. They had access to the appropriate food, had appropriate habitats, and never seemed to struggle. In reality, however, if scientists had the correct technology, dinosaurs would most likely not be able to adapt to today’s environment the way they did in the film. In the 21st century, current dangers include climate change, food sources, and bacteria. The way dinosaurs adapt fully depend on scenarios based on their surroundings.
Zhenyuanlong Suni was dinosaur that was officially announced on July 2015 when the official scientific report (written by the paleontologist who studied it) was published. The dinosaur was given it’s name after Zhenyuan Sun who took it’s fossils for a deep study upon being discovered by a local farmer. The fossils were taken to Jinzhou Paleontological Museum by Zhenyuan Sun for further examination. The specimen was further studied by paleontologists Stephen Brusatte of the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom and Lü Junchang of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences in Beijing. According to researchers Zhenyuanlong Suni is the largest winged dinosaur to be discovered so far, and it was known to be carnivorous. In this paper we will examine the time period which it lived, the climate and the area, and finally it’s unique anatomical features.
