genotype and phenotype‚ and describe how they are related. Genotype is the genetic make-up‚ the inheritable information‚ which comprises an individual organism. It is the code that is copied in reproduction and is passed from 1 generation to the next. It serves as the main guide in the growth‚ development and maintenance of a living organism; it also controls the formation of certain proteins and regulation of metabolism and synthesis. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene and genotype refer

concerned with the study of organisms and their habitats. This includes the interdependence of various populations‚ their impact on each other and their surroundings‚ the effect of the surroundings on their behaviour‚ as well as the ways in which the organisms and the environment change in response to each other. A pond and its inhabitants provide a good example of these interrelationships. A pond contains: a. soil consisting of rock‚ minerals and dead remains of organisms b. water with minerals c.

is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering‚ technology‚ medicine and other fields requiring bioproducts. Biotechnology also utilizes these products for manufacturing purpose. Modern use of similar terms includes genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture technologies. The concept encompasses a wide range of procedures (and history) for modifying living organisms according to human purposes — going back to domestication of animals

genetic diversity. A transgenic specie or a transgene is basically an organism that has had genetic material injected into it from another organism. For the most part‚ transgenic species are betterment for humans; but the impact they have/can have on genetic diversity is one of its disadvantages. The potential impact of these species depends on how well the species competes. Their ability to survive‚ compared to other organisms‚ could harm other useful species and poorly disturb the food web.

Transport Systems Essay In single celled organisms‚ nutrients‚ water and various substances that are need for basic cellular processes can easily be transported in and out through the cell membrane. This is an effective transport system for microscopic organisms‚ but multicellular organisms require a more complex transport system to sustain itself. Take humans for example; unlike a cell‚ only the outer layer of skin is in contact with the body’s outside environment. It’s not possible for substances

The 4 different types of microbes than can cause disease are; Bacteria Bacteria‚ also known as Bacterium in the singular term‚ are a prokaryote. Prokaryotes are simple ‚ single celled organisms. Bacteria get their nutrients from the environments in which they live‚ in some cases‚ that is the human body. http://kidshealth.org/kid/talk/qa/germs.html They are larger than viruses‚ but smaller than human body
