Infertility is something no one wants to experience. There are many reasons a person can be infertile. Infertility is defined as “not being able to reproduce offspring” by Merriam- Webster Dictionary. Examining infertility from a biology standpoint reproduction is needed in order for people to survive. Infertility can stem from both females and males. Females who experience being infertile can be caused by many things. Age, weight, lifestyle, occupation. A woman is considered to be infertile if she experiences

information to the next generation through cellular division. Meiosis increases reproductive variability through crossing-over. Meiosis is the reproduction of gametes (sex cells). Crossing-over is the exchange of chromosomal segments between a pair of homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis. Crossing-over helps variability in cells because it makes the cell different and more adaptable to new or different environments. DNA alternations such as insertions, deletions, and substitutions can

The three main phyla of fungi are Zgomycota, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. Three main phyla has there is a forth known as imperfect fungi. Fungi are divided into phyla primarily based on their reproduction structures. Most fungi are adaptable to more extreme environments than bacteria would be able to survive and thrive in. For example most fungi prefer lower pH levels that would be far too acidic for most bacteria. They also have the ability to flourish in low moisture environments, such as

Chapters 1-6 Chapter 1: Scientific Study of Life * The Cell is the basic Unit of life. * An Organism is a living individual and consists of one or more cells The levels of Biological Organization are (smallest to largest): * Atoms = The smallest chemical unit * Molecule = Group of joined atoms * Organelle = Membrane bounded structure that has a specific function within a cell * Tissue = Collection of specialized cells that function in coordination * Organ = Structure consisting

isotopes of that element. Elements come together to give up, accept or equally share electrons to make molecules. The smallest part of an organism is a cell. Some single-celled organisms are free-living and contain structures, called organelles that allow them to be self-sufficient. More complex organisms are multicellular. In the case of a human, cells are organized into tissues. These have a common function like a muscle. Tissues are organized into organs like the heart. Organs are organized into organ

“ Even the most perfect reproduction of a work of art is lacking in one element: its presence in time and space, its unique existence at the place where it happens to be”. We are able to look at reproductions and admire the great beauty of the original work of art, however it is not the same as standing in front of the original. You may be able to copy the lines of a painting but you can not reproduce the artist emotions that went into their piece Although a reproduction can not fully compare to

There are two key processes of cell division in the human body. (A) Mitosis and this is where a one celled organism divides into two individuals one growth and the other replacement of body cells. (B) the Meiosis, this is the production of sex cells, which are located in the testes and the ovaries and that cell is called the Gametes. The gametes is the sex cell produced by the meiosis which contains a reproduction of the 23rd chromosome set. Within the gamete process, the production of spermatogenesis

Unit 4 Biologically conception is the moment when a sperm cell from a male enters the ovum or the egg from a female. The process is also known as fertilization and this is the initial stage of development for the baby’s growth. This is one of the key stages of sexual reproduction which is a form of reproduction that is necessary for genetic diversity. At four weeks a baby’s brain and spinal cord begin to form and the heart begins to form, also the arm and leg buds appear and the baby is now classed
