Developmental biology

Können Sie sich vorstellen, die Erde für immer zu verlassen und dauerhaft im Weltall zu leben?

Die schlechte Nachricht vorweg: Wie das irdische Leben entstanden ist, werden wir wohl nie genau wissen.

Haben Sie schon einmal versucht, sich IHRE EIGENE Zukunft vorzustellen?

Charles Darwin desempeñó un papel crucial a la hora de convertir la herencia en una cuestión científica y, sin embargo, fracasó estrepitosamente a la hora de responderla.

Oxygen exists in two gaseous (dioxygen and ozone) and six solid allotropic modifications.

Seit Darwins »survival of the fttest« – die am besten angepassten Individuen in einem Lebensraum überleben – sind über 150 Jahre vergangen.

Am Anfang war alles wüst und leer – die junge Erde ähnelte in der Tat dem Beginn der Bibel.

Charles Darwin hat unser Weltbild entscheidend verändert: Dass die Lebewelt auf unserem Planeten kein fertiges Inventar ist, sondern sich beständig wandelt - mal schnell, mal langsam -, war zu seiner Zeit revolutionär und wird auch heute noch von manchen abgestritten.

Unser blauer Planet ist etwas ganz Besonderes.

Nematodes are small multicellular organisms that have been used as biological models since the 1960s.
