About me

My name is Catrina Aguirre I am a senior at Oklahoma State University studying to get my Biochemistry, Biology, and Physiology degrees, and eventually go to medical school where I hope to become an orthopedic surgeon. I currently enjoy working as a CNA and am excited to further my career in the medical field.




Some things I love to do in my free time are:
  • Running
  • Reading
  • Puzzles
  • Coloring
  • Swimming/Surfing
  • Watching/Playing sports
  • Building Legos
  • Binging TV shows with my best friends


I love Italian food and I could eat Pasta for every meal.



This is my Chihuahua his name is Picasso.

My favorite color is navy.

sexual selection

In an evolutionary context, sex as a state refers to the biological categories of organisms typically male, female, or hermaphrodite based on their reproductive anatomy and the type of gametes they produce. Males produce smaller, mobile gametes called sperm, while females produce larger, nutrient-rich gametes called eggs. Hermaphrodites possess both male and female reproductive organs, enabling them to produce both types of gametes. These categories play a role in how genetic material is passed down, affecting how traits evolve within a population. Sex as an action refers to the process through which genetic material is combined from two parents to create offspring with a unique set of genes. Sexual reproduction introduces genetic diversity into populations through processes like recombination, mutation, and independent assortment, which are key to evolution. This genetic variation allows populations to adapt to changing environments, as certain combinations of genes may provide advant...

Genetic Drift

Image
This demonstrates genetic drift by contrasting two populations of fish on separate islands. On Island A, the large population maintains its genetic diversity, demonstrating that genetic drift has little effect in stable, large populations. However, Island B shows a dramatic change in population color due to random chance events affecting a small group, leading to the loss of diversity. This picture emphasizes that genetic drift is a random process that significantly impacts smaller populations, leading to reduced genetic variation, while it has minimal effects on larger populations. Additionally, it highlights that genetic drift is not the same as natural selection, which involves differential survival based on advantageous traits rather than random events.
