HELLOO! How is everyone doing?? This is my last and final post for this term's roar book reviews. I hope you guys enjoyed and that I offered my help good enough. Sadly none of you guys left me a comment/ question so I'm kind of upset but it's all fine. ( probably b/c no one knows about this.) Anyhow, Thanks Alot!! ^^ Have a greatt VACATION everyone, next week && VALENTINES!!! <333333333333333**find>
The New Science Of Evo Devo : Endless Forms Most beautiful
Sean B. Carroll
5.Comments
* Our last chapter is the our title up there; Endless Forms Most Beautiful.( I LOVE the title, it's so unique!) Here the introduces the new teachings of Evo Devo and evolutionary principles of it. By observing and focusing on the genes and basis of evolution of organisms. Instead of the outside look. The more abstract illustration of evolutionary concepts bring more a clearer understanding to our science world.
* Here our author presented one of Charles Darwin's work, Descent with Modification and he explains it and the theory and all. Like he said it was the first evidence for learning of developmental of organisms. A little more on the complexity and diversity, form there our diverse world is filled with different species and animals and that is from the evolutionary era tah twe experience so many diverse and complexity.
* This is next thing I found VERY INTERESTING! When a surveyed asked 21 differnet countries wheter this question you believe is tru or not, in a scale of 1 as no and 4 as yes "Human beings are developed from earlier species of animals." United States was dead last witha 3.22 meaning that we really did believe that because of science. Otehr countries did not, and probably because they focused it as a belief of their religion. The truth is we are developed from earlier species but people did not want to believe this. (I really think so as well!! Yay us! I love science anyways, if it's proves with evidence and all then I'm okay with it.)
* Then you get a synoposis of the Evo Devo creations and struggles. I didn't get much of it so maybe you guys can give me some tips and feedback whenever you read this or something because I'm a bit confused. Sorry again. =[
* My final comment is about the most beautiful forms endangered, this inculded animals all aorudn the world that are being a sight of endangered or excint soon. So people and everyone should do tehir part and try and keep them alive. Some animals that are excinted are the DoDo, Moa, and Quagga. That's it!! Thankyou!!
4.Questions:
* How does animals becoem endangered? The climate or that people keep killing them?
* So how many species of animals are there out in our world?
* Will human beings ever be endanger at all? Or human being excinted? I really want an answer for this question.
* Does endangered species included the plantae kingdom, or plants an flowers? Are they ever developed liek animals as well?
3.Vocabulary
*Reiterated:
to say or do again or repeatedly; repeat, often excessively.
*Eloquently:
having or exercising the power of fluent, forceful, and appropriate speech: an eloquent orator.
*Poignant:
keenly distressing to the feelings: poignant regret.
2.Literary Terms:
* Allusions: Another reference made from Charles Darwin and his Descent with Modifications.
* Denoument: The ending with the endangered species and how we should try and protect them. =]
1. Overview:
* MY last overview; this last chapter is about the most beautiful of endless forms, which is the meaning of out animals and living organisms. Ending here we have the endangered species section and the survey question that was asked from all over the world of 22 countries. Then the more clearer understanding of Evo Devo and it's concepts and the term.
THANKYOUUUU! ^^ ENJOY.. Can't wait to see you againn!! Sorry for the quick rush, I have plenty of homework to get to next. (: I hope it helped you. Thankyou! BYEBYEE!

* Guess the next chapter is about? The making of beautiful minds, the making of Homo Sapiens. Here we are learning about the evolutionary of homo sapiens which will eventually evolve into modern human like us today!
* We will be able to find out about your, mine and everyone's common ancestor, from chimpanzees we have about the 99% of the same genes, however we are not chimps. Just closely related. One of the early human is Lucy. (I learned this in the begining of Sept.) the author will provide some differences and comparison from the regualr apes to modern humans. ANd how our minds work and how other apes as well can advance this mind making theory.
* Then they have a really cool diagram of different apes and man skeletons and here you can look for yourself that we look really alike from those of the chimpanzees. Oh and actaully apes and human together are called hominids, I forgot to tell you that. Sorry. (:
* Next you can check out the characteristics that makes human more interesting than regualr apes. Like the differences for example some that are listed ( which I learned outside as well) are: the relative brain size, S-shaped spin, brain topology and so much more. Then ou will read continuing to the different hominids species and their brain sixe and body size. You can also check out the evidence of early hominids by footprints left in the Laetoli. Check out more about it.
* Lastly tehy will talk about the brain and the specifics that can make a brain into a beautiful mind, how our brian is more advanced and develope. You can get a better understanding about it.
4.Questions:
(I asked some before I continued reading.)
* Where in the DNA does the difference between human and apes develope?
* Was human evolution in any other way typical to otehr mammals?
* Where in our brain does the capabilities resides?
* How do our mind really develope from other apes that could develope as well?
3.Vocabulary:
*Accumulated:
to gather or collect, often in gradual degrees; heap up.
*Spectrum:
an array of entities, as light waves or particles, ordered in accordance with the magnitudes of a common physical property, as wavelength or mass: often the band of colors produced when sunlight is passed through a prism, comprising red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
*Degrades:
To reduce in grade, rank, or status; demote.
2.Literary Terms:
* Allusion: He made a quick reference to Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory.
* Irony: That the oldest hominids is not advanced or wise as the modern humans, because you hear the saying, the older you get the smarter you'll be. But that's so ironic because we evolved from them.
1. Overview
* The overview for this section is that the studies of hominids and the brain and the developed human minds and body. How we are super closely related to the apes family, however we are different and tehy provided some examples for us to see. Then the skeletal explaination and genetics of the same common characteristics. From there we go to the evidence of where this theory comes from and the real proof that biologists and scientists have been studying.

Hey everyone, this is going to be a quick post because I have way too much homework and so little time. It's getting late and I have other thigns to do to catch up. ^^ Sorry, thanks fro understanding. See you soon again. BTW, Sorry no posts for my PB (personal blog) for awhile. I'm too busy. thanks Good bye!!

5.Comments:
* The term melanism is refering to the conditions where an individual or a species display the broader area of the color black or dark in a greater/ larger amount then the other colors within the organism. Melanin pigment are the complex chemicals that polymers that occur in many forms. From black, brown, reddish or tan.
*Many organism have this melanism color pigment. This chemical is a benefit, it help prevent damages form ultra light rays, thermal regulations and camouflages. From mammals to insects and fishes. In mammals, there are two type of melanin that are produced by the pigment cells. One on the skin and the other of the hair, eumelanin, phaeomelanin.
* The next chapter the book explains how the melanin could change or be inrupted when DNA crosses. There are equations and everything but it's too high level for me to catch on. Sorry guys. Next they talk about rats and mice that have the shades of black to grey and so on. The gene is each mice is different, from the amino acid and the MC1R protien.
* From mice we go to Black leopards, white bears and redheads. Again we use the MC1R.. which is very confusing so I don't know how to explain it. So the Evolution of francier of patterns in the mammals of stripes and spots. So we go on back to the zebras. And the embryos of when each stripes will develope. For each species of zebras, tehir stripes come different at different times.
* HAHHA we convert back to the fruit flies, here they're explaining the spots that fruit flies encounters. It express the pigmentations of the gene that makes the species different just becasue of a spot.
4.Questions:
* Why is it all focused on the color black? Isn't ther other pigment as well for other colors, because there are other animals in different colors.
* What makes the color black in animals so important?
* Does the animals get the color from the genetic gene of their paren's genes? If so does that mean there is a disadvantage for animals taht does not have the color black on them?
* How do the zebras get the different stripes then otehr zebras? How do people recongnizes the differences?
3.Vocabulary:
*Melanoblast: an undifferentiated cell that develops into a melanophore or melanocyte.
*Mentation: mental activity.
*Correlation: mutual relation of two or more things, parts, etc.
2.Literary Term:
* ehh... I can't find any
* none
1.Overview:
* This overview is about the color black on mammals and animals, It is called melanism, there are benefits from it and it's very different I guess from other colors or something because only balck was mentioned. Anyhow, then we go to the zebras and their stripes and how long it takes for each different species to develope their stripes. Then we go back to the fruit fly and the spots on their wings.

5.Comments:
* Next we are goingt o learn how the butterfly get's it spots. Funny huhs? ... Here tehy are thousand of butterflies and they are many one that are similar. Now we are going to sense the wing patterns this from the elements. Butterfly wings have scales and each scale is a product of one cell.
*Patterns of the wing it made by the lined up of scales that creates a spot. They are formed in different colors as well. The distal-less of proteins resolves the wings to appear spots. There are real live photographs in the next few pages to show what they are talking about. It is really amazing to actually see because they provided the pictures of the embryos of the caterpillars and the wings marks.
* The patterns on a butterfly can change, depending on the season and climate. For example the Bicyclus Anynana, in the wet seasons and otehr seasons their wings will change color and patterns of the spots. And another two pair of tiger swallowtail butterfly. Both have same features but different colors.
* The next page was a fan mail to this authro complaining how he is using their tax money instead of helping the environment to care about butterfly wings...(OBVISOULY this guys who wrote this is a NO- BRAIN!!! How can he write something like this? This is pure science that people should know!!!!!....igornant fan.sorry ^^ I was just so mad when I read it.) Iliem learning about this.
* Next is the Paint in Black section. This section is the observation of animals and how they got their color black. First example is the zebra which obtain black stripes. This help them to play with the predetors eye, by thinking its a shadown and it's hard to see them.
4. Question:
*Which on which? The Black stripes on the white or the White stripes on the black on zebras? I always wondered this...
*Why did the author pick butterflies as a topic.. I'm very interested because not alot of science is on the butterfly so far that I'd known of yet.
*Is a butterfly an insect?
* Why sepcific on butterflies with spot? There are other butterfly without spots..
3.Vocabulary:
*Bastesian Mimicry: the protective resemblance in appearance of a palatable or harmless species, as the viceroy butterfly, to an unpalatable or dangerous species, as the monarch butterfly, that is usually avoided by predators.
*Diverged: to move, lie, or extend in different directions from a common point; branch off.
*Curator: Law. a guardian of a minor, lunatic, or other incompetent, esp. with regard to his or her property.
2.Literary Terms:
*Imagery: The describtion of the scales and colors that together forms the wings of a butterfly.
* There were some references to some famous biologist but I don't know a literary term for this.. sorry guys.
1.Overview:
* This one overview is about butterflies and their wings. The developement of thier wigns and the spots that they obtain. Also while we go into spots of butterflies, we get into the color black next of animals. How animals get them so far I'm readign about the zebras that have black stripes.

5.Comments:
*I was suprised because today I learned some insects have more than 4 wings, it follows the Williston's law. And it's the evolution of wing numbers. Like a Primitive aquatic nymph has more than 8 wings...there pently more and they compare it to each insect to see the difference and how they evolved.
*Now are the Sipders tales: the more adaptations of the arthropods gills. Some of their innovations is the book lungs, tracheal spiracle, and spinnerets. They are all structures that are homologs of the pedipalps which are the mouth parts and walking legs. It related to the adaptations of the arthropods gill branches.
*Next is the series of genes that help involve modern insects like butterflies and thier wings, flies, and the hindwings insects. The way it is the Ultrabithorax, it's a protien that regulates the circuity of insects and it command the binding and the switching of genes of wings in insects.
*Fish fins to fingers... (wierd huhs?) The evolution of the tetrapod hand into wings. it;s been seen and recorded in old devonian fossils that they have common positions and bones located.
*Then from the wings that are created, they have phalanges, radius, and humerus like our human fingers and arm and so on other animals. That's the evolving of limbs for the new styles. Then after there are a few pages that I didn't understand a bit so I didn't write about. Sorry, but this part is kind of too high leveled for a freshman like me.... ^^
4.Questions:
*How is the wings of animals can be seen related to a human arm? I mean like how do they decide that it's related, it could be another bone..
*What is the devonians?
*How is Ultraithorax create? Do human have them as well , maybe in some of our body?
*Is switching really important to the way an organism turn out? like a gene or something?
3.Vocabulary:
*Innovation: the act of innovating; introduction of new things or methods.
*Modularity: the use of individually distinct functional units, as in assembling an electronic or mechanical system.
*Reiterate: to say or do again or repeatedly; repeat, often excessively.
2.Literary Terms:
*Allusion: A reference was made to the Williston's law and the Pat Shipman. It was cited in some direct qoutes.
*Anmorphotism? : The sentence that refered that the bat and fish had some human characteristic.
1.Overview:
* It's the insects section, and here we are learnign about the genes that creat their different wings. From fish fins to insects we get to the wings of birds, and bat how they then relate to our human arms. Isn't that interesting? It's like a connection to all living animals. I'm sorry it's a short summary but it's really what all of them relate by and plus I'm so sleepy I think I'm going to drop any second.. HAHAHA... goodnightt....(:

Hey you guys!! ^^ I'm big on midterms and test on going so it might take some time for me to update you guys! Sorry! =[ &Also OB IDOL TOMORROW!! ^^
Here's a quick 5.4.3.2.1 synopsis!(: Take Care!
The New Science Of Evo Devo: Endless Forms Most Beautiful
Sean B. Carroll
5.Comments:
* Back to the switches, here how some genetics switches works: There are activators, and repressors and the act as switches. There is abd activation of effects, multiple of activators and repressors are involved in the building patterns od any structures.
* End of that, back to Cambrian Explosion: the so many Arthropods. Oh then the next few pages are phtographs... real live photos! How great is that? anyhow, there are embryos of flys onces again but now you can actually see the subdivision of it turning into a fly. And all it's body parts. ^^
*The pictures are really cool, it's all neon and glowy.... wow so fantastic! Back to the tool kit genes.. and the embryo is startign to shape itself. Now to the Cambrian arthropods, there are the Marella, Olenoides, Waptia, Yohoia which all have a dominate feature in the similar appendages. Though they do difference themselfs with oth body parts. And continue with the Aysheaia, very different spieces but have some common bodies.
*Next the shitfing zones of the Hox Genes that shap the major different in the arthropod designs. example: an insect, centipede, brine shrimp, mysid, lobster, cleaner shrimp and the trilobite, these have common features but what makes them so different...? Read it and figure it out.
* Next chapter, the evolutionary of inventions, for again examples: paper clips: the Gem (most used) the reeve, wright, and philadephia. These all perform the same tasks but they been inventing new different technology to adapt a better performace... same with organisms and mdern technology.
4.Question:
* How did people start to think about all the advanced technology to actually make them?
*Does that mean the insects, centipede, brine shrimps and so on all came from a common ancestor?
* How were the scientists and biologists able to take all took pictures?
* Was the first real animal the arthropods? If not why are they such a big deal? Was it because their genes were complex?
3.VOcabulary:
*Blastopore: Embryology The opening of the archenteron.
*Cervical: the neck, esp. the back part.
*Schematically: pertaining to or of the nature of a schema, diagram, or scheme; diagrammatic.
2.Literary Terms:
*Imagery: ? The descripton of how the switches works, they presented as a kind of a map ?
*ehh.... none..
1.Overview:
* SO we're starting on the genetic switches to the Cambrian Era agai nto the Arthropods. The complex structures of organism that now are present and the technology of inventions that became for dependable. It relates to living organisms because we as well will evolve and be able to adapt to different situations.
Here's a quick 5.4.3.2.1 synopsis!(: Take Care!

* End of that, back to Cambrian Explosion: the so many Arthropods. Oh then the next few pages are phtographs... real live photos! How great is that? anyhow, there are embryos of flys onces again but now you can actually see the subdivision of it turning into a fly. And all it's body parts. ^^
*The pictures are really cool, it's all neon and glowy.... wow so fantastic! Back to the tool kit genes.. and the embryo is startign to shape itself. Now to the Cambrian arthropods, there are the Marella, Olenoides, Waptia, Yohoia which all have a dominate feature in the similar appendages. Though they do difference themselfs with oth body parts. And continue with the Aysheaia, very different spieces but have some common bodies.
*Next the shitfing zones of the Hox Genes that shap the major different in the arthropod designs. example: an insect, centipede, brine shrimp, mysid, lobster, cleaner shrimp and the trilobite, these have common features but what makes them so different...? Read it and figure it out.
* Next chapter, the evolutionary of inventions, for again examples: paper clips: the Gem (most used) the reeve, wright, and philadephia. These all perform the same tasks but they been inventing new different technology to adapt a better performace... same with organisms and mdern technology.
4.Question:
* How did people start to think about all the advanced technology to actually make them?
*Does that mean the insects, centipede, brine shrimps and so on all came from a common ancestor?
* How were the scientists and biologists able to take all took pictures?
* Was the first real animal the arthropods? If not why are they such a big deal? Was it because their genes were complex?
3.VOcabulary:
*Blastopore: Embryology The opening of the archenteron.
*Cervical: the neck, esp. the back part.
*Schematically: pertaining to or of the nature of a schema, diagram, or scheme; diagrammatic.
2.Literary Terms:
*Imagery: ? The descripton of how the switches works, they presented as a kind of a map ?
*ehh.... none..
1.Overview:
* SO we're starting on the genetic switches to the Cambrian Era agai nto the Arthropods. The complex structures of organism that now are present and the technology of inventions that became for dependable. It relates to living organisms because we as well will evolve and be able to adapt to different situations.

I have a sub for English today so, here I am doing a Roar Post. ^^ What a great oppertunity for another Roar Post for you gusy! ^^ Hahaha....ENJOY!
The New Science Of Evo Devo: Endles Form Most beautiful
Sean B. Carroll
5.Comments:
* The dark matter of the genome, here Sean Carroll is explaining to us about the dark matter which is dark energy from the universe and galaxies. With astronomy, the structure of stars, galaxies, collaspe of suns and all the visable objects in the universe. As the same thing for animals DNA.
* So the previous comment relates to human as the dark genes in us, as for fingers, heart, eyes and the visible genes in them are the RNA and protiens.The genetics switches controls where genes are used in our body tissues.
* These few pages after are a bit confusing because tehy relate together in a wierd way, example is the switching of strpe bty stripe and bone by bone, switches of GPS intergrators. And more switches....I didn't get most of it.
* Now I'm into part 11 of the book, and it's Fossils.Genes, and the making of Animal Diversity. Startign with teh Big bang of the Animals Evolution. presented first by first so called, Cambrian Explosion Era around525 to 505 million years ago recorded by the rocks that were appeared in complex forms.
*One of the fossils that we now found from the Cambrian Era was the Dickinsonia Coststala (completely confused right?) It's like a small shelled crockaroach. These were the Ediacaran forms. The next page is the animal evolutionary tree and it shows and provide us the information of which organism started to evolve and was the first known ancestors of our mordern time animals.
4.Question:
* What really caused the Big Bang? Was it the explosions of stars, that's what I heard.
* How does the first organism created? Like how did one animals all started? And which came first the plants organisms or the animals organisms?
* So the relation of anstronomy with the human body is that the anatomy of our body is by constellation of of switches and taht are distributed all over genomes? (I think I know the answer but I'm still unsure?
* Who first came up wtih this theory of the Eras and how everything started to evolve from the first few animals? (That person is a GENIUS!)
3.Vocabulary Words:
* Protostomes: Compared with Duterostomes: Any of a major group of animals defined by its embryonic development, in which the first opening in the embryo becomes the mouth. At this stage of development, the later specialization of any given embryonic cell has already been determined. Protostomes are one of the two groups of animals having a true body cavity (coelom) and are believed to share a common ancestor. They include the mollusks, annelids, and arthropods. **Any of a major group of animals defined by its embryonic development, in which the first opening in the embryo becomes the anus. At this stage in their development, the later specialized function of any given embryonic cell has not yet been determined. Deuterostomes are one of the two groups of animals that have true body cavities (coeloms), and are believed to share a common ancestor. They include the echinoderms, chaetognaths, hemichordates, and chordates.
*modularity: Of, relating to, or based on a module or modulus
*Deciphered:To convert from a code or cipher to plain text; decode
2.Literary terms:
* Irony: That animals came become modern us humans, and the starting of the world is from Big Bang.....BTW, does that mean the world will end by something else? And by that happening will something or another world appeare after then?
*Personicification: There were some lines that indicated the DNA and genetics of ours genes were described as human beings and other stuff.... o.o...sorrys really kidna unclear.
1.Overview:
* This whole overview is about the ending of one piece and begining of one piece so it might be confusing but here it is: The author first desrcibed the structure of the world and comapred it to our body. Next was the human anatonomy and the dark matters of enegery in the world and ourselves. Conclusion of the animals evolution and the starting of it caused by the Big Bang and the presents of the Cambrian Era.

ROAR 5-4-3-2-1 #3
HEY HEY HEY!! ^^ HAPPY SUNDAY!. Here's another free post!^^ get your mind blogging...
The New Science Of Evo Devo: Endless Forms most Beautiful
Sean B. Carroll
5*COMMENTS:
*The continue of DNA sequences and responses, there are 2 gene logic that is 1) "the regulated use of a gene occurs through the on/off binding of a DNA binding protien;" 2) " the DNA binding protien recognizes a specific DNA sequence near a gene."P.60 Carroll. I was kind of confused at first because he was mentionaling about bacteria then he switched to a fruit fly. Which was a very good organism to experiment with.
*More information on fruit flies, and the body-building genes of their bodies. from a embryo. Then about how mutation can affect the fruit fly, like one can have a normal large multifaceted eye or one with a lack of eye tissue which express as an eyeless fly. (creepy... there was pictures that I didn't want to see...)
*Still with the flies, now it's about the hair patterns, from the starting as a larva the hedgehog fly. A mutanted one will have the denticles(hairs) all bunched together and a normal hedgehog fly will not. This was the tool kit of the paradox and one of the origins.
*Next was about the genes of making babies. With 25,000. This section was about varies of chicken, tadpoles.The embryo development in orders. There was a nice image that help supported this part of the book. There was one for the tadpole, and fly.
* Next was the geography of the embryos. Like which steps occur first, and where it will be places in the embryo. This wil be by the tool kit genes once again. They also gave you a part of directions to draw it yourself and the general logic of the embryo geogrpahy.
4.Questions:
* Are flies easy and fast developers? Like if their life span is short we can do more experiments with them.
* How long does an embryo usually develope until it is ready to leave the mom? ( I can't find a word for this.. sorry.)
* How long does it take before we can recognize the embryo of it's speicies?
* Why is the tool kit section in every section but it was so different?
3.Vocabulary words:
*Reductionism: the theory that every complex phenomenon, esp. in biology or psychology, can be explained by analyzing the simplest, most basic physical mechanisms that are in operation during the phenomenon.
*Tantilizing:having or exhibiting something that provokes or arouses expectation, interest, or desire, esp. that which remains
*Chemotherapy:the treatment of disease by means of chemicals that have a specific toxic effect upon the disease-producing microorganisms or that selectively destroy cancerous tissue. ( I kind of guessed this word right. ^^ )
2.Literary Terms:
There wasn't much of the terms I would know but I' m sure there were some. Here this section was mainly explaing the embryos and I guess I just couldn't find any.
1.Overview:
This section was bits and bits about embryos and embryologists. Mostly focused on flies and their behavoir way to develope. Also the re mapping of their embryos and I think there was something taht could connect to us humans when we were embryos as well. But I think the author wants us to figure it out ourselves but maybe he'll tell us later on the next chapters.
