Clues

  • A tissue culture method where large numbers of plants can be produced from a tissue sample from an original plant, without the need for seeds. (5, 11)
  • areas of the world with especially large numbers of plant species of economic importance and where these populations had great genetic diversity. (7, 6)
  • As their numbers are low they are in danger of becoming extinct (10, 7)
  • break up dead organic matter (12)
  • Most appealing species that can be used to highlight conservation campaigns.If the flagship species are successfully protected then the others that share their environment may also be protected (8, 7)
  • Only shows if the individual has both copies of the recessive gene (9, 4)
  • self-sufficient farming - farmers grow enough food to feed themselves and their families (11, 7)
  • species that are native to the area (10, 7)
  • the study of living organisms so the knowledge gained can be applied to engineering or technological developments (11)
  • The transfer of fertilised eggs/embryos from a female of a rare species into females of closely related more common species. (6, 8)
