Scavenger Hunt 8


Genetic variation within a population is taken from a lot of different genes and alleles. Populations have to be able to adapt to the changing conditions in order to survive. They change by adding and subtracting alleles. Some alleles help, some hurt, and some are neutral. Fingerprints are neutral variations. This is my attempt at taking my fingerprint.

A hermaphrodite organism is one that does not have separate sexes. They act as the female and male reproductive parts. Snails, slugs, and some fish are examples. This isn't a picture of a snail or a slug but it is a picture of what snails and slugs do. They eat my mom's basil.

 Mycorrhizal fungi is a fungus that is essential to the growth of most plants. It gets on the roots and prevents diseases and insect problems. This is sort of a natural fertilizer. This plant most likely has mycorrhizal fungi.

Homologous structure is one that is from the same descendent but evolved in different ways. The moth’s wings and the dragonfly’s wings are homologous structures.
