What increases gene flow? Migrants change the distribution of genetic diversity among populations, by modifying allele frequencies (the proportion of members carrying a particular variant of a gene). When gene flow is impeded, there can be an increase in inbreeding, measured by the inbreeding coefficient (F) within a population. How do mutations affect an organism? […]

How do you find the refractive index of water?
How do you find the refractive index of water? The Refractive index of water is 1.3 and the refractive index of glass is 1.5. From the equation n = c/v, we know that the refractive index of a medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of light in that medium. Hence, light travels faster in […]
What is the difference between reflection and reflective practice?
What is the difference between reflection and reflective practice? Reflective practice is ‘learning through and from experience towards gaining new insights of self and practice’ (Finlay, 2008). Reflection is a systematic reviewing process for all teachers which allows you to make links from one experience to the next, making sure your students make maximum progress. […]

What is SFX and VFX?
What is SFX and VFX? Special Effects (often abbreviated to SFX) refers to on-set visual effects techniques; you could also call them ‘practical effects’. VFX is an abbreviation of Video Effects.

Can scanning electron microscopes see DNA?
Can scanning electron microscopes see DNA? Now an electron microscope has captured the famous Watson-Crick double helix in all its glory, by imaging threads of DNA resting on a silicon bed of nails. The technique will let researchers see how proteins, RNA and other biomolecules interact with DNA. Can cilia be seen with a light […]
Do windmills kill bats?
Do windmills kill bats? Dead bats are found beneath wind turbines all over the world. It’s estimated that tens to hundreds of thousands die at wind turbines each year in North America alone. These bats migrate and mate primarily during late summer and early autumn, which is also when the vast majority of bat fatalities […]
