Cause of Hyperlipasemia (High Lipase Levels): Pancreatitis - also known as inflammation of the pancreas, can cause amylase and lipase levels to be increased up to 3 times normal. Both values should be increased, in order to carry the diagnosis of pancreatitis. Lipase may be increased in tumors of the pancreas, or stomach certain stomach conditions.
Over time, this process gradually leads to entirely new types of life. This process is responsible for the many diverse life forms in the world today. Evolution is the process of change in all forms of life over generations. An organism inherits features called traits from its parents through genes. Changes called mutations in these genes can produce a new trait in the offspring of an organism.
Life history characteristics [edit]. Life history characteristics are traits that affect the life table of an organism, and can be imagined as various investments in growth, reproduction, and survivorship.The goal of life history theory is to understand the variation in such life history strategies.he key to life history theory is that there are limited resources available, and focusing on only a few life history characteristics is necessary. Examples of some major life history characteristics include: 1  Age at first reproductive event. 2  Reproductive lifespan and ageing.
