How does Messi keep the ball close to himself

Your friend
The science of how Messi keeps the ball close to himself photo credit: ZaleDesigns Messi is a magician with the ball at his feet. He's in my opinion the best player in the sense that he can control the ball so well, runs so fast with the ball & changes the direction at full speed like it's a walk in the park. For starters he started playing very early (at 3) which is crucial if you want to be a good player. In that aspect, he's God gifted as he had dribble skills which is genetic in my opinion. Height He is short which means a low center of gravity so it's difficult to push him off the ball. That's why we see that anyone rarely can topple him down, instead players much larger than him lose possession to him. So his short height suits his style of play & is a blessing in disguise. Change of pace Messi changes his pace really well. He starts slow and runs directly at the defender which means the defender has to stop & focus on him. When he reac...

What is hereditary and evolution

Heredity and Evolution

Introduction

evolution


  • The principle of heredity determines the process by which traits and characteristics of an organism are reliably inherited.

  • There are some organisms (especially plants) in which there are very less variations and sometimes difficult to establish the differences, but in some other organisms (especially human beings), there are comparatively greater variations. This is the reason that offspring do not look similar.

Rules for the Inheritance of Traits – Mendel’s Contributions

  • Johann Mendel is known as "father of modern genetics."

  • In human beings, the rules for inheritance of traits and characteristics are related to the fact that both the father and the mother equally contribute the genetic material to their child.

  • Further, each trait of an offspring is usually influenced by both paternal and maternal DNA.

  • Johann Mendel, who was an Austrian scientist, had experimented on peas and gave the “laws of inheritance.”

Johann Mendel

  • Mendel used a various contrasting visible characters of garden peas – round/wrinkled seeds, tall/short plants, white/violet flowers and many more to prove his law of inheritance.

  • Mendel’s law of inheritance became popular as “as the laws of Mendelian inheritance.”

  • The frequency of an inherited trait changes one after another generation. This happens because of change in genes (as genes control traits).

Evolution – Charles Darwin

  • Charles Darwin was an English geologist, biologist, and naturalist; and, he is best known for his contributions to the science of evolution.

charles darwin


  • In 1859, Darwin published his book “On the Origin of Species” explaining the theory of evolution (by natural selection).

  • Darwin’s theory of evolution describes - how life evolved from a simple to more complex forms; whereas, Mendel’s experiments explains the mechanism for the inheritance of traits from one generation to the next.

  • Evolution is basically the generation of diversity and the shaping of the diversity by the means of environmental selection.

  • Over period of time, variations in the species may advise survival advantages or merely an example of the genetic drift.

  • Further, changes in the non-reproductive tissues, are largely because of environmental factors (not by inheritance).



  • Study of the process of evolution of human beings specifies that most likely all human beings belong to a single species that evolved in Africa continent and over period of time spread across the world in phases.

  • The complex organs and other features most likely evolved and adapted to cope up with changing environment; the whole phenomenon is known as evolution. E. g., feathers (of birds) are believed to have been initially evolved for warmth, but later adapted for flight.

The Fundamental Units Of. Life

Your friend
Biology - The Fundamental Unit of Life Introduction The fundamental unit of life is cell. Cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665 in a simple microscope. In 1674, Leeuwenhoek, with the help of developed microscope, discovered the free living cells in pond water. In 1831, Robert Brown had discovered the  nucleus  in the cell. In 1839, Purkinje used the term ‘protoplasm’ for the fluid substance found in the cell. The cell theory was proposed by Schleiden (1838) and Schwann (1839). According to the cell theory, all the plants and animals are composed of cells and that the cell is the basic unit of life. In 1855, Virchow further expanded the cell theory and suggested that all cells arise from pre-existing cells. In 1940, the discovery of electron microscope made possible to observe and understand the complex structure of the cell. Unicellular Organisms The single cellular organisms, such as  Amoeba, Chlamydomonas, Paramoecium , and bacteria, ...

carbon and it's compound

Your friend
Chemistry - Carbon and its Compounds Introduction Carbon plays very important roles for all living beings. The amount of carbon in the earth’s crust is merely 0.02%, which is available in the form of minerals such as carbonates, hydrogen-carbonates, coal, and petroleum. The presence of carbon in the atmosphere of the earth is 0.03%, in the form of carbon dioxide. Compounds of Carbon Almost all carbon compounds (except a few) are poor conductors of the electricity. The diamond and graphite both are formed by carbon atoms; however, the difference lies between them in the manner in which the carbon atoms are bonded to one another. In diamond, each atom of the carbon, is bonded to four other carbon atoms and form a rigid three-dimensional structure (see the image given below). In graphite, each atom of the carbon, is bonded to three other carbon atoms in the same plane, which gives a hexagonal array (see the image given below) − There is also difference in some physical structu...

What happened to the dinosaurs?

Your friend
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THE DINOSAURS One day 66 million years ago, an asteroid the size of a mountain struck near the Yucatán Peninsula with an explosive force equivalent to 100 trillion tons of TNT. In that cataclysmic instant, the 165-million-year reign of the dinosaurs came to an end. The asteroid theory of the dinosaurs’ demise was first suggested in 1980. More than a decade later, the identification of the Chicxulub Crater in the Gulf of Mexico established where and when. Using an impact calculator developed by geophysicists from Purdue University and Imperial College London, researchers obtained a pretty good idea of what occurred at the moment of impact and immediately after—what is known as the K-Pg (Cretaceous-Paleogene) extinction event. The asteroid struck the Earth at 40,000 miles (64,000 kilometres) per hour, creating a crater more than 115 miles across and instantly vaporizing thousands of cubic miles of rock. Any creature close enough to witness the strike was immediate...
