T Heredity is the process by which genetic information is transmitted from one generation to the next. What is heredity?
T A species is defined as a group of organisms who's genetic information is compatible such that their offspring can also reproduce. What is a species?
T Similar species can reproduce, creating sterile offspring. What happen if closely related species reproduce?

Look at Ligers, Tigons; Zorse and Horbra etc. What out for photoshopped pictures.
T Biodiversity is a measure of the number of species in an area. What is biodiversity?
W 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. Why is maintaining biodiversity important?

Debate?
W The use of gene banks is to preserve hereditary material. What are genes banks for?
