Chromosomes- genetic material that is coiled up into structures during cell division. Importance of DNA- genes control the production of proteins..(look like‚ body function‚ body communications‚ and enzyme control) DNA screening- the process of testing individuals to determine whether they have the gene(s) associated w/

Biology- Animal cell The NUCLEUS is the largest organelle in the majority of cells. It contains genetic information in DNA‚ which is responsible for the cells unique characteristics. The nucleus is separated from the rest of the cell by.... ...The NUCLEAR ENVELOPE is used as a barrier which separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm‚ all in all keeping the DNA safe and intact. The nuclear envelope regulates the flow of substances into and out of the nucleus. The NUCLEOLUS is an important

Transgenic Animals and Plants What is a transgenic animal/plant? A transgenic animal or plant is one that has a foreign gene (called a "transgene") inserted into its DNA. Transgenic animals and plants are sometimes called "genetically modified organisms" or GMO ’s for short. What is a transgene? A transgene is the foreign gene that has been moved from one organism into a new organism by genetic engineering. For example‚ a bacterial gene that is inserted into a plant ’s DNA would be a

Animal Cell Cells are the beginning of everything. Every living thing is composed and made from cells. Cells are the smallest unit of organization that we know of. There are two major categories of cellular organization in eukaryotic cells. Those parts which are “membrane bound”‚ called organelles and those which are not “membrane bound”. Every aspect of the cell is important because each part or organelle’s structure is unique to its function. Non membrane bound organelles‚ are those which provide

single cell to divide and produce all the differentiated cells in an organism‚ including extraembryonic tissues. Totipotent cells formed during sexual and asexual reproduction include spores and zygotes. Zygotes are the products of the fusion of two gametes. In some organisms‚ cells can dedifferentiate and regain totipotency. For example‚ a plant cutting or callus can be used to grow an entire plant. Human development begins when a sperm fertilizes an egg and creates a single totipotent cell called

have identical DNA. Sometimes‚ plants are self-pollinated‚ producing seeds and eventually more plants with the same genetic code. Some forests are made entirely of trees originating from one single plant; the original tree spread its roots‚ which later sprouted new trees. When earthworms are cut in half‚ they regenerate the missing parts of their bodies‚ leading to two worms with the same set of genes. However‚ the ability to intentionally create a clone in the animal kingdom by working on the cellular

Many different plant and animal species thrive in the rainforest environment‚ but it is the trees that define the way we see the rainforest. From the air‚ a rainforest looks like an enormous‚ green carpet. The canopy very rarely breaks‚ with no gaps between the trees. Beneath these trees‚ there are thousands of different types of plants. Living amongst the trees‚ vines‚ shrubs‚ ferns‚ and mosses are many different types of animals. These range from the smallest ant to the carnivorous (meat-eating)

The domestication of plants and animals lead to great change in the development and structuring of communities‚ as the hunter-gatherer lifestyle was slowly replaced by permanent settlements of farmers and villages. We can see that the communities varied greatly dependent on their local ecology‚ the resources available‚ and the time period within which their community was based. The road to agricultural way of life in the MIddle East is characterized by Four distinct stages. It was during the Kebaran

desert is the home to many plant and animal wildlife. Of course‚ to survive the hot and dry conditions‚ these wildlife have to be specially adapted to capture as much food and water as possible to sustain themselves. In the desert‚ it can get as hot as over 30 degrees in the day and below 16 degrees at night! This project will further explore a few of the plants and animals‚ as well some of their adaptations.
