oil spill

The Oil Spill in the Mexico Gulf has been a terrible incident. On April 20, 2010 an oil rig working for a company called BP struck an oil pocket about one mile under the surface of the ocean. This coused millions of gallons of oil to pour out and leak into the ocean. As soon as possible they got a clean up crew down there and started to capture som of the oil that was rising to the surface. At first they didnt make much of it they thought it wasnt going to be such a big deal but they were wrong. As of the 27th of september it has oozed more then five times the guessed amount. as a result of all of this hundreds of animals that made there homes anywhere near the spill have died or had to find new homes. The oil spill has gotten better but it is still hard to know for a fact when its going to stop.

Cancer

Cells are a very important part of your body. They pretty much controll everything even cancer.
Cancer grows out of normal cells in the body. Normal cells multiply when the body needs them, and die when the body doesn't need them. Cancer appears to occur when the growth of cells in the body is out of control and cells divide too quickly. It can also occur when cells forget how to die. So if you have a surplus of cells you have the chance of getting cancer. Depending on what kind of cancer it is depends on what the cause it is.

Genetics is a big part of biology. Genetics allow us to understand why some humans have some traits and others dont. Such as blue eyes or different color hair. Genetic traits come from past generations. You usally have simular properties as your parents or grandparents. If both of your parents have brown hair it means there is a very high probably that you will have brown hair. Another thing that genetics helps us with is crossbreading. When people crossbread anything from plants to animals they need to intake the possibilities of genetics.

Anatomy

Biology is very interesting! what makes it so interesting is that there is so many different kinds and types of biology. There is Cell biology, Astrobiology, Genetics and many many more. But the one type that really stood out to me and made me interestsed is Anatomy. Anatomy is baseically the study of how things work. Mainly animals and the human body. This allows us to figure out and comprehend how the human body works and what body parts does what. Without this particular type of biology we would be lost in the world. If we did not have Anatomy there would be a lot less population because it allows us to find out what is acually arong with you when your sick. A lot of people would die for things we now think is no big deal.
