worked to hinder the mitotic cell division in the haploid gametophyte. II: Introduction C-Fern begins with a haploid spore known as the spore imbibition (Hickok‚ Warne 2009)‚ then after 3 to 4 days the spore will develop into a gametophyte via mitosis after germination. This is a photoautotrophic process. The gametophyte will then undergo differentiation (Hickok‚ Warne 2009)‚ to form the antheridium and the archegonium after 6 to 8 days (Hickok‚ Warne 2009). Following the gametophyte displaying

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. Parts of the female reproductive system:

Physiology Linder Unit 1 Possible Essay Questions Chapter 1 1. Describe the concept of homeostasis. Explain how negative feedback and positive feedback loops effect the homeostatic condition. Use examples to explain your answer. Homeostasis can be described as maintaining a relatively internal environment even though the external environment is variable.

Cycles in Biology Cycles in biology play a fundamental role in the world that we live in. Cycles occur all around and inside of us in many different forms‚ from the Krebs to the Calvin cycle. There are large scale cycles happening and they are essential in regulating the nutrients and substances that are around us which without‚ life on earth could no function. One of the largest cycles that occurs all around us is in everyday life is the carbon cycle. The current atmospheric

fertilization‚ this cell copied itself to make two cells. This was your first experience of mitosis. Soon after‚ these two cells copied themselves to make four and so on. You have been subject to mitosis ever since (billions of times). By copying the original 46 chromosomes‚ your body has created more than a hundred billion kilometers of DNA - that ’s enough to stretch around the Earth 2‚500 times. Mitosis has copied a total of about 100 ZB of data. As a rough estimate‚ this is equivalent to making
