Wide feet for spreading
body weight over soft
shifting sand.
How is a camel adapted to life in a very hot, dry climate?
Fat is stored in the hump.
There is no other body fat
to prevent overheating.
How are camels adapted?How are camels adapted?
Brown coat for camouflage.
Long, thin legs mean the
body surface area is large
compared to volumeto increase heat loss.
Loses little water throughsweating or urine.

Leaves are narrow spines
that reduce water loss and
protect from predators.
Stores water in fleshy stem.
How is a cactus adapted?How is a cactus adapted?
Thick, waxy surface
to reduce water loss.
How is a cactus adapted to life in a very hot, dry climate?
Plant surface area is
small compared to volume
to reduce water loss.Some have shallow,
spreading roots for surface
water, others
have deep roots.

Chromosomes and Genes
Chromosomes are long strands of genetic informationlocated in the nuclei of cells. They are made of DNA
A gene is a sectionof DNA that carriesthe instructions for agenetic characteristic
We inherit 23chromosomes from
each parent
