What causes the smell after rain?" Most people notice a distinctive smell in the air after it rains.

What causes the smell after rain?"

It's frequently linked with spring, as the smell of fresh cut grass is associated with summer. Welcome to www.ultimateungulate.com. Our research: Invertebrate Biosystematics - Biosystematics.

Geology. Entomology. Molecular Expressions Microscopy Primer: Interactive Java Tutorials - Virtual Microscopy: Magnification. Interactive Java Tutorials Magnification Module This interactive Java tutorial explores the effect of increasing magnification (equivalent to changing microscope objectives) on the ability to resolve features in a sample.

To operate the tutorial, first use the pull-down menu to select a sample for viewing. Next, use the radio buttons to rotate magnifications between 25X and 1000X to discover how increasing the magnification allows the microscopist to explore the details of minute features in the sample. Important Note: Once all 6 magnifications have been downloaded locally to your computer, selecting between them will become much quicker because they already exist in your browser's cache.

We should note a technical point about this tree: the comparison of ribosomal RNA gene sequences can show the possible relatedness of organisms, but other information is needed to provide the root of a tree.

Profiles of microorganisms: the microbial world

One of the principal modes of evolution is thought to involve gene duplication followed by divergence. The original gene retains its vital function, while the copy can change and ultimately can encode a new function. If these paralogous gene pairs can be identified by sequence similarity, then the original gene should be present in all organisms whereas the new version will be present only in the more recently derived organisms.

The root for the tree in the diagram above was determined by using paralogous genes for translation elongation factors involved in synthesis of protein chains on the ribosomes. Domains and Kingdoms The proposed universal phylogenetic tree recognises three Domains of organisms (Bacteria, Archaea and Eucarya) above the traditional level of Kingdoms.

Generally birds follow the facetious advice often given to pilots -- "fly low and slow. " Most cruise speeds are in the 20-to-30-mph range, with an eider duck having the fastest accurately clocked air speed of about 47 mph. Baltimore Oriole (east) & Celebrate Urban Birds - StumbleUpon.

Habitat On their breeding grounds in eastern and east-central North America, you’ll most often find Baltimore Orioles high in leafy deciduous trees, but not in deep forests; they prefer open woodland, forest edge, river banks, and small groves of trees.
