Animal Meiosis. Illustrates the reduction division in 15 stages, resulting in haploid germ cells. Only three homologous chromosomes are depicted for simplicity. Tetrad formation, crossing over and the resulting genetic recombination are clarified through color-coding.

Animal Mitosis. Presents nine stages in nuclear and cell division in a typical animal. For the sake of clarity, only four pairs of chromosomes are represented.

Bird Studies. The central figure identifies the topographical features of a typical bird. Eleven supplementary figures depict beak adaptations and six additional figures illustrate adaptations of bird feet.

Carbon, Oxygen, and Nitrogen Cycles. Illustrates the complex intertwining and interdependence of green plants, animals, bacteria, and the environment, which is maintained in delicate balance.

Clam. The anatomy of this common mollusk is portrayed in a complete dissection. Separate figures detail the heart and habit studies, which include an enlarged glochidium and numerous glochidia attached to a fish.

Coelentrates (Cnidaria). Hydra is featured, including a magnified section showing undischarged and discharged nematocysts. Other forms include the Sea Anemone (Metridium) and the colonial hydroid Obelia.

Concealing and Warning Adaptations. Striking examples of adaptations in coloration or form, which have evolved because they have contributed to the survivability of the organism.

Crayfish. The central figure portrays an entire male specimen dissected to reveal internal as well as external anatomy. Separate views include the female abdomen with eggs and young, the heart, and the modified appendages, which comprise the mouthparts.

Earthworm. Illustrates the anatomy of the common annelid through cutaway views. Separate figures detail the reproductive and excretory systems, as well as a habit study.

Fern Life Cycle. A sporophyte plant, complete with fronds, fiddleheads, rhizome, and roots is featured. Companion figures detail sori, sporangia, germinating spore, prothallium (gametophyte), antheridium with sperm, archegonium with egg, and developing young sporophyte.

Flatworms and Roundworms. Depicts free-living and parasitic forms, including Planaria, Sheep Liver Fluke (Fasciola hepatica) life cycle, Pork Tapeworm (Taenia solium), and the nematode Trichinella spiralis.

Flowers. All flower components are identified in a large central illustration with a typical flower showing the reproductive function. Surrounding figures depict the variety of flower form and function among angiosperm species; also includes pollination by wasps, bees, flies, and butterflies.

Frog Anatomy. Presents views of a complete ventral dissection of a male frog, the female urogenital system, and the central nervous system from the dorsal aspect. Separate figures show the ventral aspect of the brain and cranial nerves, oral cavity, and a feeding sequence.

Frog Development. Shows 14 key stages in the development of the frog, from fertilization through cleavage, embryo, tadpole limb development, and adult.

Grasshopper. The principal figure depicts the external anatomy emphasizing the three major body regions and three pairs of jointed legs that typify all insects. Supplementary figures portray the seven mouthparts, internal anatomy, and the respiratory network of trachea, air sacs, and spiracles.

Green and Brown Algae. Scalariform conjugation stages, meiotic divisions, and zygote germination in Spirogyra are shown. Reproduction via motile zoospores as well as fusion of sexual gametes is depicted for Ulothrix. Fucus, a brown alga is shown, detailing its male and female conceptacles.

Gymnosperms. Featuring the life history of the Scotch Pine, illustrated in seven figures. Supplementary illustrations depict twigs and cones of eight other gymnosperm species.

Hairy Cap Moss (Polytrichum) Life Cycle. Featuring complete depictions of the male gametophyte with antheridia and female with archegonia, the female also bears a sporophyte plant at its apex, thus illustrating the alternation of generations.

Honeybee. A graphic depiction of all stages of development, adaptations, and specializations of this social insect. Includes a comparison of the worker, queen, and drone.

Leaves. Greatly magnifies sections through a typical leaf, illustrating its cellular layers and air spaces. Also shows an array of leaf types, including carnivorous forms.

Liverwort Life Cycle. The dichotomously branched thalli of both a male plant with antheridia, and female plant with archegonia are depicted. Magnified figures of antheridia, sperm, gemmae, archegonium, young, and mature sporophytes are detailed.

Mendelian Heredity. Genotype and phenotype are detailed through the F2 generation for two hybrid crosses exhibiting Mendelian inheritance. The first, a monohybrid cross of red and white four o'clock flowers, the second a dihybrid cross in guinea pigs involving coat color and coat texture.

Monocot and Dicot Seed Germination. Ten figures compare and contrast the similarities and differences in seed structure and germination stages in a typical monocot (corn) and dicot (bean).

Pathogenic Microorganisms. A valuable asset in all studies of microbiology and disease. This colorful chart depicts 16 important pathogens as they appear during microscopic examination, using standard staining techniques.

Perch. The central figure illustrates a complete dissection of this typical bony fish. Additional figures show the structure of the gill arch, a horizontal section through the head, caudal vertebra, and the four fish scale types.

Plant Meiosis. Depicts meiosis and mitosis in 18 maturation development stages of the pollen mother cells of Lilium. Color coding helps identify chromosome orientation.

Plant Mitosis. Presents 10 distinct stages in cell division from interphase through daughter cells, as it would be observed microscopically in a rapidly growing onion root tip.

Protista. Represents free-living species: Rhizopods (Amoeba), Flagellates (Euglena and Volvox)-both solitary and colonial, and Ciliates (Paramecium), binary fission and conjugation.

Roots. Illustrates two root sections detailing the regions of the root tip and root hairs. Other figures depict specializations that adapt roots to various habitats.

Stems. Presents microscopic views of dicot and monocot stems. The other eight figures show stem adaptations such as tubers, runners, thorns, rhizomes, tendrils, and bulbs.

Symbiosis. Eight detailed figures vividly illustrate examples of the fascinating associations that can develop between unrelated organisms.

The Five Kingdoms of the Biosphere. A colorful, easy-to-understand representation of the most widely accepted taxonomic scheme. A more natural system than the traditional Two Kingdom scheme. The color-coded phylogenetic tree depicts the prokaryotic Monera giving rise to the Eukaryotic Protista, which in turn radiates into the Plant, Fungi, and Animal Kingdoms.

Two Kingdom Classification System. The traditional system of classification provides an interesting point of departure for classroom discussions when compared with the newer Five Kingdom scheme.

Wheat Rust Life Cycle. Following a clockwise sequence, all developmental stages of this important parasitic fungus of crops are depicted.
