Rosa
and Susannah: Brittle Star (asexually and sexually)

# data[].attributes.body
1. Complexity of the Brittle Star: 3

2. Parents ContributIng: 1 or 2

3. Reproductive Mechanism:

Asexually: At any time, the brittle star can split into half in order to

reproduce. It will fracture down the midde of the main body, splitting into two 3-armed brittle stars. They will then grow back the other three arms.

Sexually: At certain times of the year, the brittle star will release sperm or egg into the ocean. The egg and sperm will meet and produce larvae, which will then become brittle stars

4. Amount of Parental Care: 1

5. Level of Genetic Variation: 1

Daudi: Spiny Water Flea (alternates between sexual and asexual)

# data[].attributes.body
1. relative complexity of the organism: 3

2. number of parents that are contributing genetic information.
sometimes 1, sometimes 2

3. reproductive mechanism

sometime the female produces their own eggs without fertilizing which then become clones of itself. But when food is scarce, the females make male clones, and those males mate with other females around.

4. relative amount of parental care.
0 amount of care

5. genetic variation in offspring
2-3

1. Complexity of a duck leech: 2-3

2. Two parents contributing genetic information

3. When the duck leech reproduces, two leeches rub together and give each other their sperm.

4. Parental care: 3

5. Genetic variation: 1

1. Complexity of Amoeba 2

2. 1 parent, splitting into 2

3. 1 amoeba reproduce by binary fission, meaning splitting into two organisms, making a copy of itself.

4. 0 parental care

5. 0 since the offspring is a copy of the parent

1. The complexity of a scorpion is 3.

2. It needs two scorpions to reproduce (Male and Female)

3. Usually Scorpions dance during Courtship. The male grasps the female by their Pincher. Then the Male Scorpions deposit a packet of sperm on a stick or other surface. Then eventually the female will go on top of the sperm and fertilized.

4. Parental Care: 5

5. Offspring Variation: 5

Jennifer and Deedra: Desert Grasslands Whiptail Lizard (Asexual)

# data[].attributes.body
1. Complexity of lizards: 2

2. Number of parents who contribute: 2

3. Reproductive mechanism: Females take turns playing "male" when mating. If the "female" is interested, the "male" will wrap around her and grip "his" jaws around her body. They stay like this for around 5-10 minutes. The "female" will lay eggs which all hatch into copies of their mum.

4. Relative amount of parental care: Only a few species provide care when they're born or hatched

5. Genetic variation: All of the offsprings are a copy of their mum

1. Complexity of salmonella is 1.

2. 0 parents.

3. When salmonella from infected food reaches our small intestine, it divides rapidly, producing copies of itself through simple division. These bacteria continue to rapidly divide, increasing in number and infecting other cells.

4. The relative amount of parental care is 0.

5. The level of the genetic variation in the offspring is 0.

1. Complexity of a Red Kangaroo : 4

2. 2 Parents contributing genetic information

3. After 33 days of being gestated, one baby kangaroo is born. It swims through the moms fur to get to the pouch, where it attaches to a nipple and finish developing after 7 months. Then the joey gets to big and leaves the mothers pouch. The mother will repeatedly repeat this process to another pink baby. Female have about 3 joeys every 2 years.

4. The Baby kangaroo will bounce around next to his or her mother after leaving the pouch. On a scale from 1-5 it is about 4.

5. Genetic Variation....

Karen and Alexis: Leafy Sea Dragon (Sexual)

# data[].attributes.body
1.Complexity of Leafy Sea Dragon: 2

2. 1 Father and 1 mother contributing to genetic information.

3.The female insert eggs underneath the male's tail where his sperm fertilizes the eggs. The males carry and hatch the young instead of the female. Eggs cling for 4-5 weeks before they hatch.

4. Parental Care: Medium.. 2/5

5. Genetic Variation: High... 4/5

# data[].attributes.body
1. Complexity of a Grizzly Bear: 4

2. 2 parents that contribute genetic information

3. During mating, the male deposits sperm into the female in order to fertilise the egg. The baby is delivered through natural birth.

4. Parental Care: 4 (The mother takes care of the cub for three years)

5. Genetic Variation: 3

Thirza and Stella: Blue-Headed Wrasse (Sexually)

# data[].attributes.body
1. Complexity of a blue-headed wrasse: 2. The females lay the eggs and the males fertilizing it by releasing sperm.

2. 2 parents contribute genetic information.

3. Big males defend their territories around the reefs, strutting their stuff until younger females find them attractive. When this happens, the female will swim with the male and releases her eggs. Then, the male will fertilize it with his sperm before the eggs float away.

4. Low: 1. When the females lay the eggs and the males fertilize it, they let the eggs float away into the ocean.

5. Genetic variation: 5. The females have the ability to sexually morph into males, so they can spread their genetic diversity by laying eggs at a younger age and fertilizing thousands of eggs when they get older.
