Flower ovary: The ovule-bearing lower part of a pistil that ripens into a fruit, or flower.

I cut open into this flower to show the actual ovary and ovule of the flower.

Hydrophilic: Had a tendency to be mixed with, or dissolved in water. It is water loving, such as phosphate heads that make up the phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane.

I did an experiment mixing sugar into a glass of water, dissolving it, proving it was hydrophilic.

Mullerian Mimicry: Mimicry is the similarity of one species to another which protects one or both.

As in this picture, I tried to show how these two knives are both similar and different. One is a butter know and one can be used for vegetables. Both for different, but share a common goal like many insects and animals.

Genetic variation within a population: The alleles within a population change. Gene variation is also an important factor in natural selection. In a snowy area, there could be a white rabbit and a brown rabbit. Factors show that the brown rabbit will be easily spotted and killed by the predator before the white rabbit. The white rabbit living in the snowing terrain is more camouflaged then the brown rabbit.

These flowers are bother the same species, but one in orange then the other is yellow.

Prokaryote: a unicellular organism having cells lacking membrane-bound nuclei.

Cleaners lack membrane-bound nuclei, classifying as prokaryotes.
