Biology Wise: Batesian Mimicry vs. Mullerian Mimicry

Carrier proteins and channel proteins are both involved in cell transport across the plasma membrane. Their functions, similarities, and differences are described in this resource. Includes examples for active, facilitated, and passive...

Explains what genetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection are, and compares their differences, two at a time.

Divergent and convergent evolution are explained and their differences are highlighted.

Provides a comparison of germline and somatic mutations based on cause, heredity, how they are inherited, the effects they have, when they occur, the extent of the occurrence, and how they are detected. Describes examples of both types...

Describes what mimicry is. Describes the different kinds of mimicry found and by whom.

At this site from the University of Arizona, the two main types of mimicry, batesian and muelleries are discussed as they apply to butterflies. Discusses what each type is and how they are different.

The Northern blot and the Southern blot are two methods used to analyze DNA and RNA. Each technique is described, its purpose, and the methodology. A table comparing features of each is provided.

High schoolers are able to explain the relationship between adaptation and ability for survival and reproduction. They are able to give examples of a series of adaptations that would support the idea that evolution is a series of minor...

Biological mimicry is a fascinating subject and Batesian mimicry does not disappoint. It occurs as a protective mechanism when one defenseless species mimics characteristics of a species that can harm or even poison a predator. Examples...

Explains what progenitor and stem cells are and presents a chart showing their major differences, as well as a list of their scientific applications.
