“Evolution: Genetic Diversity is one of the very few resources
which effectively makes a link between classical genetics,
population genetics and evolution. The ability to easily explore
the relationships between
allele frequencies and
population size as random
events is brilliant.”

Arid Adaptations - Plants v2
• 30 game levels ranging from temperate to an extreme arid climate.
Critical thinking and problem solving! • 12 arid adaptations to aid survival.
• Description of each adaptation for easy learning.
• Adaptations include: • Small leaves • Stem water storage
• Succulent leaves • Spines
• Thick cuticle • Sunken stomates
• Leaf hairs • Stomata hairs
• Rollable leaves • C4 photosynthesis
• Stem photosynthesis • CAM photosynthesis
Under arid conditions:
• Survival becomes a nightmare.
Attaining success • Critical thinking and knowledge of adaptations is required.
is straightforward in • Animals eat moisture-laden plants more often!

however in the harshest, • Too many leaves can lead to critical water loss.
• Too few leaves result in slow growth.
