This lesson discussed the engineering design process and the devastation of three ecosystems: the Kitakami River region, the Abukuma Highlands, and Japan's coastal habitat. In this activity, you will select one of these ecosystems and follow the steps of the engineering design process to design a recovery solution. Complete each section of the Recovering Ecosystems Worksheet, including the problem, sub-problems, criteria and constraints, and proposed solutions for ecosystem recovery. Instructions for each section are included in the worksheet. Be sure to review the assignment's rubric before completing and submitting this assignment. Thank you for your help

1. the passing of is the basis of heredity. 2. our encode the instructions that define our traits. 3. each of us has thousands of genes, which are made of and reside in our chromosomes. 4. in addition to our genes, the we live in also define our traits. 5. humans have two complete sets of chromosomes. 6. when parents conceive a child, each parent contributes set of chromosomes. 7. every child receives of its chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. 8. this transfer takes place at when the father’s sperm joins the mother’s egg. 9. while most cells in our bodies have two sets of chromosomes, or a total of egg and sperm each have chromosomes. 10. when egg and sperm unite they create a single cell called a 11. each parent contributes complete set of chromosomes to their child. 12. since the parents contribute the chromosomes to each new child, every child inherits a unique set of chromosomes. 13. as a result, every baby will have a combination of traits.

What two fields of study provide the core information that is used to classify organisms?

In what for do plants utilize nitrogen? why do they need nitrogen?
