Santa Claus has gone from being a legend, to a world wide known figure. He is known for giving out presents to children all around the world. The naughty and nice list are filled with children's name, but is Santa Claus real, or fake? Arguments have accumulated over the years, and even debates broke out on the fact that Santa might be real, or not. Some argue that he would have to travel at an immense speed to give presents to millions of children before the next day. The amount of calories that he consumes would be over the roof. His reindeer would be carrying tons, upon tons of presents, and how could the sled  carry that much weight? Countered arguments have been revealed saying that it is possible to carry that many presents, or that he could travel to all the different houses. The amount of cookies, could defer depending on the house hold you are visiting.
               In, my own opinion, evidence has been found, and both sides have a great point. Children, when they become older, believe that there is no real St. Nick. I still believe that Santa is real, what about all the orphans that receive presents? They have no real adult or guardian delivering presents to them, yet they may get piles or loads of gifts.  Children who have busy parents, how would they get their gifts? If the parents barely have time for themselves, how can they afford time for their kids gifts? The answer to this conspiracy is still unknown, we can't judge the fact of his existence if we have no true evidence. Either  side of this argument is un valid, until we get hard core proof. 
                
 
The eukaryote cell cycle, and mitosis share their differences. The first step in the cell cycle in known as inter phase. In this state of mind, the cell DNA is copied prepares to divide. Most of the cell are in this state for the majority of their lives. When the DNA copies, a line is formed down the middle and creates a zipper like motion. Two new DNA are formed from the parent DNA, and still carry some of the same traits. If the DNA were not copied, one of the cells wouldn't have DNA inside of them. Inter phase is commonly confused with pro phase from mitosis, simply because these processes come first. 
        Inter phase is the most important phase, because that is when the DNA is copied, and the process of the cell cycle is about to start. Inter phase can differ depending on the type of cell you are. Prokaryote, and eukaryote have different cell cycle processes. A new formed daughter cell enters the G1 portion of interphase, during which it acquires or synthesizes the materials needed for cell division.

DNA is a molecule that has shaped our lives, and our chraracteristics. DNA is a ladder shaped molecule, that contains sugar phosphate group, adenine, thymine,guanine and nucleotoids. DNA has basically set your features for you. The process of the splitting of the DNA molecule is oftenly thought as a zipper. Each pair is slowly broken apart, so two new DNA molecules are made. The DNA structure has another name, commonly known as the double helix. In each base pair of DNA, certain pairs match with each other. For example, adenine and thymine are always together, and guanine, and cytosine are paired up. Each of the base pairs create the ladder like shape in the DNA molecule.
       The sugar phosphate group are the sides that hold up the base pairs. The are two long pieces running down the two sides, creating the ladder like formation. They are created from sugars that build up over time and eventually create the sugar phosphate group. DNA's structure was given the name double helix, simply because of the ladder like structure.
