Summary Introduction
To review:
The tissues containing gap junctions.
Introduction:
The gap junctions are intercellular junctions that join the cytoplasm of adjacent cells to allow the free passage of ions and molecules. In the region of these junctions, the plasma membrane of adjacent cells are closely apposed together and cytoplasm is connected through cylindrical pores composed of connexin protein.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?
Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?
Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.

Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
