Aquatic Adaptation Aquatic plants - also called hydrophytic plants orhydrophytes - are plants that have adapted to living in aquatic environments. -One of the main problems facing submerged aquatic plants is their inability to obtain oxygen. Unlike terrestrial plants‚ these plants cannot obtain the vital gas through their stomata because they are submerged in water. -Therefore‚ the stems‚ roots‚ and leaves of submerged aquatic plants posses aerenchyma cells‚ which supply oxygen to the rest of

Reproduction Male sperm fuses with female egg. If tdf (a gene) is present‚ then the embryo develops testes and produces testosterone. Female Reproductive system • Female baby develops if tdf is not present. • Tdf – a gene located on Y chromosome; if girl‚ then two X chromosomes‚ hence no Tdf. • Female hormones: progesterone and estrogen ( both secreted by mother’s ovaries and placenta which allow female genetilia to develop.

Genes and Genetics 1. 2. each chromosome exists as two genetically identical chromatids attached to their centromere. Each chromosome appears as two chromatids attached to a centromere. In the first meiotic division chromosomes align in homologous pairs. Points of contact form between members of the same homologous pair. The points of contact or crossing over between members of a homologous pair are the chiasmata. 3. The homologous pairs move to the equator of the cell. Equal lengths of the
