Question: How do both humans and rose bushes exhibit common characteristics? As the first chapter discusses‚ biology is the study of life and of living things. There are many things on this planet that can be placed into this category‚ many organisms that share the same characteristics. I never gave much thought to this concept until the question was asked here. Plants and human beings‚ in fact‚ all things living‚ must possess certain things in order to live and to grow. Living

Meiosis is the type of nuclear division that occurs to form four genetically different gametes. This produces genetically different offspring which all differ in traits‚ the reason this occurs is because of the way that the chromosomes are handled to make gametes. The general gist of meiosis is that a homologous pair is split twice to make four separate cells that have the haploid number of chromosomes meaning when they fuse with other gametes they form a zygote with the diploid number of chromosomes

Self-reflective essay: Nursing As I think of nursing as a whole and my experiences thus far‚ many thoughts come to mind like is this for me? Is nursing what I expected? Am I in the right profession? My first day in hospital was when all these emotions started rushing to the fort‚ what really happened was all the work covered in lectures‚ practical’s and clinical settings all came to life. I stood there watching Mrs. Mitchell give us a tour around the hospital and I felt a sense of excitement as

Planning Introduction Stomata are pores on the bottom of leaves of vascular plants. The function of stomata is to allow gaseous exchange (transpiration) between the plant and the external environment (see diagrams below). This process is carried out by the plant‚ which controls the opening and closing of stomata via the guard cells. The more stomata a leaf contains the greater the rate of gas exchange and the less water it will be able to accumulate. Stomatal pores are formed between

Male System The structure and function of the human male reproductive system‚ is very similar to that of many other mammals. The male system is designed to make sperm or male gametes and is adapted to provide for the delivery of these gametes to the female to allow for fertilization. Male Reproductive System Male Reproductive System Structures 1. testes -- produces sperm and the hormone testosterone 2. scrotum -- pouch enclosing the testes keeping the sperm at an optimum temperature
