  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. Biological roles of the elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_roles_of_the...

    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.

  4. Impossible color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color

    When colors are displayed in the CIE 1931 XYZ color space, additive mixture results in color along the line between the colors being mixed. By mixing any three colors, one can therefore create any color contained in the triangle they describe – this is called the gamut formed by those three colors, which are called primary colors. Any colors ...

  5. 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.

  6. Interactionism (nature versus nurture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactionism_(nature...

    Historically, interactionism has presented a limited view of the manner in which behavioral traits develop, and has simply demonstrated that "nature" and "nurture" are both necessary. [3] Among the first biologists to propose an interactionist theory of development was Daniel Lehrman. [4]

  7. 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 ...

  8. Natural Color System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Color_System

    In order to be able to manufacture physical representations of the NCS color space (such as color atlases), a reduced set of colors had to be selected that would illustrate the system well. Originally developed in 1979 as part of becoming the Swedish national color standard by the SIS (Swedish Standards Institute), the Natural Color System was ...

  9. Nurture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurture

    Nurture is usually defined as the process of caring for an organism, as it grows, usually a human. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is often used in debates as the opposite of "nature", [ a ] whereby nurture means the process of replicating learned cultural information from one mind to another, and nature means the replication of genetic non-learned behavior.
