Document Summary

Cold-blooded killer: no remorse, no empathy, sociopath, no feeling for victim etc. The individual is biologically inferior, their makeup and genes make them different from non- criminals, due to this, and their pathologies can be identified and measured with scientific method. This was one of the earliest explanations of crime and was created by gall. First attempt to measure a skull shape and determine character. Specific areas of our brain determine traits and control of emotions. The more certain areas are used in the brain, the larger it would become. This would result in the pushing on the skull causing a bump. (the more you workout at the gym on certain muscles, the larger that muscle will be). Technically they read the bumps, run palms and fingers of the skull and if they find a bump it meant that area was used the most and from there it would be determined.

Describe specifically what you would need to do to decide whether two different individual organisms are members of the same species or not, under the following species concepts:

a.) phenotypic,

Ok, so this one would have to be based on phenotypes correct? say fossil records could show same bone structures like jaws etc. and then birds could be differentiating between beaks, color, and wing size?

b.) "biological"

this one and phylogenetic confuse me. won't you have to look at dna to decide if they're alike? or does biological mean something else?

c.) 'ecological'
This one would just be to check if they can breed with each other right? even though there can be seperation by continents, if they can breed theyre still the same species right?

d.) phylogenetic
this one and biological confusese me. won't you have to look at dna to decide if they're same species or not? or whats the difference from biological and phylogenetic?

Uncommon" or "emerging" pathogens are ones that are rarely seen in a clinical setting or are new to a geographic area. As a scientist, you will need to follow a logical pattern to determine what the unknown virus is. This logical process is one that all scientists are familiar with the scientific method. The scientific method is a process of determining what natural phenomenon is to be studied and developing a series of experiments to determine what is occurring. Order the steps of the scientific method as a virologist would implement them on the job.

Put the following steps of the scientific method in order (from left to right) that should be followed to identify the virus that is causing this disease
