Genetics Practice


Let me know what you think about our genetics Chapter. What are the muddiest points for you?
(these are the things that just are not very clear)
Post me a comment!

Sailing Ships and Whales

AS more and more people are loving the oceans it is not always smooth sailing. We forget the waters are home to thousands of biotic factors and when we invade this ecosystem, we can come into contact with anyone of the community in the ecosystem. A population can be affected and an individual organism can be harmed. (did you notice all the vocab words??!!)

Anoxic waters (no oxygen) This site will teach you something new. We know animals need oxygen, even those in the water. [This is the importance of algae, all the oxygen released from photosynthesis] Click on the FAQ tab and read a short interview about anoxic waters.

OK...one more. Oceans Pollution This is easy to read and interesting.

Would you be interested in studying
how we- humans- affect the worlds oceans?
Post me a comment and tell me what
you would study and why.

Talking about animals.....

We are done with ecology (sort of) and move to

Kingdom Animalia. Are you ready??

Our world is amazing and we still don't know the

real depths of its beauty.

Scientist are still discovering more species that are

too fantastic, more suited to a fantasy book of imaginary creatures.

Take a look at these organisms. Post me a few sentences about

The most amazing animal you

have ever seen...actually seen.

Flying Lemur in Malasyia

New Jelly Fish

Transparent Fish

video from scientist on youtube

This page has 5 most unusual new species

What is the most amazing thing I have ever seen? Our beloved dog Anne, gave birth to puppies in our pantry. They were tiny, black, wet fur balls that were a testimony to life that endures through reproduction and the power of chromosomes that exist in each cell. This is what I remember as I sit here. There are many other memories of animals I have seen that have amazed me. But I want to hear about your memories.
