lubricated by a secretion from Bartholin’s glands. Eggs released in the ovaries reach the uterus via fallopian tubes. Production of gametes‚ gametogenesis‚ takes place in specialized tissues known as gonads. It occurs when cells in the tissue undergo meiosis. This process results in the division of the normal cells containing 46 chromosomes into cells containing 23 chromosomes. In males‚ it results in the formation of sperms. Sperms are formed in the testes‚ specifically in the seminiferous tubules. Immature

Onda‚ Kristal H. TTH 8:30-10:00 am BSAC3 BIOLOGY 1. How plants grow and develop? Just as humans have essential needs for survival‚ all plants require several basic elements to grow and thrive‚ including… Soil minerals (the more nutrient-rich the soil‚ the better the plant will grow) Water Air (carbon dioxide‚ hydrogen and oxygen) Sunlight Proper soil temperature Proper air temperature How much a plant needs of each element initially depends on the plant’s original habitat. For example

It has a number of characteristics: It is a triplet code- three bases code of an amino acid It is a degenerate code- All amino acids bar one have more than one code Some codes don’t code for amino acids

Diatom is part of the stramenopiles clade‚ which is considered to be plant-like autotrophs that are often called algae. These autotrophs are mainly photosynthetic using chlorophylls a‚ chlorophylls c and xanthophyll to undergo photosynthesis to convert energy from the sun. Some species of Diatom are colorless‚ but those that do have color get it from various pigments. Diatom have two halves of their cell wall making up what’s called a silica cell wall. The soft part of the cell wall decomposes‚ but

In the early 1950’s‚ when Alfred Hersey and Martha Chase were preforming experiments to determine which material in a cell was the hereditary material‚ the scientific community was much different that it currently is. To begin‚ female scientists were discriminated against heavily‚ especially if that woman was not a full-time researcher or also taught students (Gur-Arie). Unfortunately‚ this problem is still present today to a lesser degree. Also‚ scientists were often recruited to top research facilities
