Silk is a natural protein fibre, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fibre of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons. The best-known type of silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori.

The genetic code by which DNA stores the genetic information consists of "codons" of three nucleotides. The functional segments of DNA which code for the transfer of genetic information are called genes. A codon is defined by the initial nucleotide from which translation starts.

Blubber is a thick layer of vascularized adipose tissue found under the skin. Lipid-rich, collagen fiberlaced blubber comprises the hypodermis and covers the whole body, except for parts of the appendages, strongly attached to the musculature and skeleton by highly organized, fan-shaped networks of tendons and ligaments. It can comprise up to 50% of the body mass of some marine mammals during some points in their lives.

Cross fertilization occurs in Hydra. The spermatozoa released from the testis of one Hydra swim about in water with their tails and finally come into contact with the ovum of another Hydra. Only one spermatozoon penetrates the ovum and fertilizes it. This results in the formation of a zygote which is diploid.
