Facts About The Evolution Of Human | Science facts


The Story of Human Evolution

Few people seem to be interested in questioning the existence of the universe. Most people are too busy dealing with the responsibilities and distractions of daily life. They do not have the time or the inclination to contemplate the existence of the universe. They just want simple answers that are presented to them in an interesting way.

Anaconda -Water Boa - The largest snake of the World | science facts

ANACONDA - LARGEST SNAKE OF THE WORLD



Another name for the anaconda is the water boa, an appropriate name for a snake that is almost always found near water. They live in the Amazon and Orinoco basins of tropical South America, and their habitat extends from the Andes, all the way east to Trinidad and part way up the Caribbean side of Central America. The animal moves much more easily swimming than on land. Like the crocodile, the anaconda has nostrils high on its snout so that it can swim with its head above water to breathe. The eyes are also placed high on its head so that it can watch for prey. The snake lies near the shore, waiting for its prey. When a deer, bird, or other prey comes to the water to drink, the anaconda quickly strikes, dragging its victim underwater to drown it. It then eats the unfortunate animal whole. They are nonvenomous. A good meal can last an anaconda for several weeks, during which it will usually lie around in the water content digesting its food.

Evolution Fact and Theory and the Origins of Life

Evolution Fact and Theory and the Origins of Life 


What is evolution?

It is two things: The fact of evolution and the hypotheses surrounding how evolution works. The hypotheses are collectively known as the theory of evolution.

The fact of evolution

Evolution is defined simply as genetic change over time, meaning more precisely between generations. Examples of genetic change over time are extremely easy to identify. Every year we observe new flu viruses and new bacterial strains. This is evolution. Every human has slightly different genes from his or her parents. That is evolution, too.

Facts about replication of DNA

FACTS ABOUT REPLICATION OF DNA



Genetic information is carried out from parents to offsprings by proper replication of parental DNA molecules. The important fact about DNA replication is that it has a self complementary nature.

Facts about DNA Replication
Genetic information is carried out from parents to their offsprings by a proper replication of the parental DNA molecules. Usually the information is present in one or more double stranded DNA molecules. Replication of double stranded DNA is a more complex and multistep process because; a supply of energy is needed to unwind the twist. Moreover, single enzyme can catalyze only a small number of physical and chemical reactions, but in replication, many types of reactions are involved.
The most important fact about the DNA replication is that it has a self complementary nature i.e. each of the two strands of every parental DNA molecules acts as a template for the development of a complementary daughter strand.

Having sex while sick can reduce a fever due to the sweat produced | science facts

Having sex while sick can reduce a fever due to the sweat produced

Sex is also a pain reliever, ten times more effective than Valium: immediately before orgasm, levels of the hormone oxytocin rise by five times, determining a huge release of endorphins. These chemicals calm pain, from a minor headache to arthritis or migraines, and with no secondary effects.

Cracking your knuckles does not actually hurt your bones or cause arthritis. The sound you hear is just gas bubbles bursting | science facts

Cracking your knuckles does not actually hurt your bones or cause arthritis. The sound you hear is just gas bubbles bursting


Cracking your knuckles (or any of your joints) can have therapeutic benefits. When you crack one of your joints you are pulling the bones that are connected at the joint apart from each other. This process stimulates your tendons, relaxes your muscles, and loosens your joints. Chiropractors do this for spinal joints when your back is sore and stiff, but you can do this on your own for your knuckles, toes, knees, neck, etc.

There’s a wild mushroom that tastes like chicken | science facts

There’s a wild mushroom that tastes like chicken

Laetiporus is a type of edible mushroom that grows in many areas of the world. It is also known as "sulphur shelf," "chicken of the woods," and "the chicken mushroom" because many people think that it tastes similar to chicken.
The mushroom grows in large brackets made up of 2-10 inch wide shelves. These brackets can grow very large with some reaching nearly 100 pounds.

Tongue possesses receptors that can sense different tastes | Science based life

Science based life


On your tongue you possess receptors that can sense, very generally, the following tastes:
Sweet – usually indicates energy rich nutrients
Umami – the taste of amino acids (e.g. meat broth or aged cheese)
Salty – allows modulating diet for electrolyte balance
Sour – typically the taste of acids
Bitter – allows sensing of diverse natural toxins
