    Key Questions:

    1. What is heredity?
      • Heredity is the process by which genetic information is transmitted from one generation to the next.
    2. What is a species?
      • A species is a group of organisms who can produce offspring can also reproduce.
    3. What happen if closely related species reproduce?
      • Similar species can reproduce, creating sterile offspring.
    4. What is biodiversity?
      • Biodiversity is a measure of the number of species in an area.
    5. Why is maintaining biodiversity important?
      • the importance of maintaining biodiversity: means all the roles in the ecosystem are occupied, maintains genetic variation, the ecosystem has a greater stability, can save potential useful species from extinction.
    6. What are genes banks for?
      • The use of gene banks is to preserve hereditary material.
