what is tissue fluid
part of blood plasms pushed out of capillary walls into
the surrounding tissue.
part of tissue fluid
water
ions
hormones
aa
co2
o2
function of tissue fluid
facilitates exchangw of susbtanced between blood and cells
plasma vs tissue fluid
plasma= liquid part of blood within vessels
tissue fluid= bathes space between cells (no proteins cause cant pass throgh capillary wall)
tissue fluid moves out of blood capillaries due to
high hydrostatic pressure at arterial end of capillary
the tissue fluid will go back into capillaries at the
venule end due to less pressure
adaptations of lymph ducts
valves (ensure flow is 1 direction)
thin walls and gaps: allow drainning excessive tissue fluid
overproduction
producing more offspring than will survive as this mantains a constant population
graph for birth and death rate
Birth rate > death rate = exponential growth
4 factors that cause genetic variation
summarised how evolution happens
organisms have different alleles (long neck)
competition for limited resources (tall trees, no grass)
those w speciifc alleles will be better suited, so have more resources so more offspring, while those w/o alleles dont have many offsrping
the offspring will have the alleles also (for long necks)
over time, those alleles passed on
genetic makeup of popu change
biological fittness is
the ability of an organism to reprodue and pass on its genetic material to its offsrping
what determines biological fittness
enviroment where individual livs (depends what traits are best)
survival rate (can it survive to reproduce?)
reproductive potetial (can it attract mates, care for offspring and have workig gametes?)
why does sexual selection happen
cause not worried about daily survival
different alleles result from
mutations, can cause gene mutations
mutations are….. and occur during…. and can be from
errors
occur during dna replication and repain
mutagens (cause mutations)
types of mutations
base subsitution (t changes w c)
cauaee SNPs (often no effect due to degenerative nature of dna)
or base insetion or base deletion
changes everything as it is a frame shift
where do mutations have to happen to get passed on
in germline cells as they divide to form gametes
will be in every cell of zygote
inheritance of mutated genes in germ cells and cancer in somatic cells.
mutations in gametes will be passed to all offsrping,
while mutations in somatic cells wont be
