- Biodiversity- The variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem
- Identify the benefit of a population that has more genetic diversity.
- Why is biodiversity valuable to humans- without it humans wouldn't be able to live
- 1. Life
- 2. Homes
- 3. Speices
- 4. Food
- 5. Population
- Why might a species be valuable someday- Cause it could be the last of its kind -
- 1. Fur
- 2. Water
- 3. Farm
- 4. Heat.
- 5. Fire
- Create a slideshow to show each product and a picture of the organism used to produce it.
- Genetic Variation in Populations
- Gene shuffling-a facile method for the generation of sequence libraries containing the information from a family of related genes
- Mutations-changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes
- How Mutation contributes to genetic diversity-which can create entirely new alleles in a population
- How Gene Shuffling contribute to genetic diversity- combinations of genes every generation. However, it can also break up "good" combinations of genes.
- Identify the form of reproduction that is responsible for more genetic diversity= Meiosis is responible for producing genetic diversity
- Conservation
- Include the sentence " Many people around the world are involved in efforts to protect biodiversity and use resources in a sustainable way."
- 1. Recycle
- 2. Use bottles so you have a drink later
- 3. Don't throw away leftover food
- 4. Don't over use power
- 5. Moniter amount of gas you use
- Biodiversity Hotspots- Cerrado, New Zealand, & Japan
- How much of the world's land is protected- 197.48%
- Identify ways that national parks protect biodiversity- Parks help keep them safe & Parks help them from being hunted
