  2. Nature versus nurture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_versus_nurture

    The alliterative expression "nature and nurture" in English has been in use since at least the Elizabethan period [1] and goes back to medieval French. [2] The complementary combination of the two concepts is an ancient concept ( Ancient Greek : ἁπό φύσεως καὶ εὐτροφίας ). [ 3 ]

  3. Natural Color System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Color_System

    Colors in the NCS are defined by three values, expressed in percentages, specifying the degree of blackness (s, = relative visual similarity to the black elementary color), chromaticness (c, = relative visual similarity to the "strongest", most saturated, color in that hue triangle), and hue (Φ, = relative similarity to one or two of the ...

  4. Color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color

    If the reflectance spectrum of a color is 1 (100%) for all the wavelengths between A and B, and 0 for all the wavelengths of the other half of the color space, then that color is a maximum chroma color, semichrome, or full color (this is the explanation to why they were called semichromes). Thus, maximum chroma colors are a type of optimal color.

  5. Biological roles of the elements - Wikipedia

    Selenium, which is an essential element for animals and prokaryotes and is a beneficial element for many plants, is the least-common of all the elements essential to life. [3] [63] Selenium acts as the catalytic center of several antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase, [11] and plays a wide variety of other biological roles.

  6. Aesthetics of nature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesthetics_of_nature

    Nature is a living system which includes animals, plants, and Eco-systems. In contrast, an art object has no regeneration, evolutionary history, or metabolism. [6] An individual may be in the forest and perceive it as beautiful because of the plethora of colors such as red, green, and yellow.

  7. Eye color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color

    Some of the eye-color genes include OCA2 and HERC2. [9] [10] The earlier belief that blue eye color is a recessive trait has been shown to be incorrect, and the genetics of eye color are so complex that almost any parent-child combination of eye colors can occur. [11] [12] [13]

  8. Tetrachromacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrachromacy

    The four pigments in a bird's cone cells (in this example, estrildid finches) extend the range of color vision into the ultraviolet. [1]Tetrachromacy (from Greek tetra, meaning "four" and chroma, meaning "color") is the condition of possessing four independent channels for conveying color information, or possessing four types of cone cell in the eye.

  9. Human variability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_variability

    The trait is still the result of variance in genetic sequence between individuals as a result of inheritance from their parents. Common traits which may be linked to genetic patterns are earlobe attachment, hair color, and hair growth patterns. [10] In terms of evolution, genetic mutations are the origins of differences in alleles between ...
