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.

what are natural resources?

Your friend
Natural Resources Introduction The resources, available on the Earth and the energy being received from the Sun, are essential to meet the basic necessities of all life-forms on the Earth. The  biotic  component incorporates all living of the biosphere. human sperm cells The abiotic component incorporates the air, the water, and the soil of the biosphere. Biogeochemical Cycles Biogeochemical cycles explain a constant interaction between the biotic and abiotic components of the biosphere. Biogeochemical cycles are a dynamic phenomenon that helps to maintain the stability in the ecosystem. The significant biogeochemical cycles are − Water Cycle Carbon Cycle Nitrogen Cycle Oxygen Cycle Let’s discuss each of them in brief − Water Cycle The whole process, starting from the water evaporation, rainfall to flowing back into the sea via rivers, is known as the  water-cycle . water forming a circle As shown in the image given above, water cycle is a complex phenomenon. During the p...

why is force, what is pressure?

Your friend
 Force and Pressure Introduction When an object is either pushed or a pulled is known as a force. Motion, generated in an object, is because of an action of a force. The applied force makes the table move in a given direction. The strength of a force is commonly expressed by the magnitude. Force also has direction; likewise, if the magnitude or direction changes, it directly affects the force. If the force is applied in the direction opposite to the direction of motion, then it results in a decrease in the speed of the object. If an object is in motion, then external force may change in the state or direction of motion of that object. The state of motion of an object is explained by its speed and the direction of motion. The state of  ‘rest’  of an object is considered to be the zero speed, as − An object cannot move by itself. An object cannot change its speed by itself. An object cannot change its direction by itself. An object cannot change by itself. A force may make ...

why do we fall sick?

Your friend
Biology - Why do We Fall Ill Introduction Health means a state of mental, physical, and social well-being. The health of an organism largely depends on his/her surroundings or the environment. a sick man Major causes of poor health are - the garbage, which is thrown in an open area nearby residence or streets, or/and the open drain water lying stagnant around the residence area. The public cleanliness is the key of good health. Some diseases, last only for a short period of time, are known as  acute diseases . E.g. cold, fever, etc. The diseases that last for a long period of time, even as much as a lifetime, are known as  chronic diseases . E.g. asthma, osteoporosis, etc. Chronic diseases, normally, have very severe long-term effects on people’s health as compared to the acute diseases. Infectious Diseases When microbes are the immediate causes of a disease, it is known as  infectious diseases . Some of the major agents of infectious diseases are viruses, bacteria, fungi...
