To answer these questions‚ we must first define the word life

Symmetry Symmetry has two meanings. The first is a vague sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion and balance.[1][2] The second is an exact mathematical "patterned self-similarity" that can be demonstrated with the rules of a formal system‚ such as geometry or physics. Although these two meanings of "symmetry" can sometimes be told apart‚ they are related‚ so they are here discussed together.[2] Mathematical symmetry may be observed * with respect to the passage of time; * as a spatial

Exam Review – January 2013 Diversity Unit - List taxonomic ranks in order. What is the significance of this order? Domain‚ Kingdom‚ Phylum‚ Class‚ Order‚ Family‚ Genus‚ Species. Classification of species: kingdoms contain many different types of organisms‚ each taxon contains progressively fewer types of organisms‚ taxon “species” is narrowest category‚ containing only one type of organism. As you go from kingdom to species‚ organisms share more and more in common. - Explain and give an example
