The genes are passed to future generations and adaptations continue to occur over long periods of time. Nature Works tells us‚” animals that are better adapted to their environment survive and breed. Animals that are not well adapted to an environment may not survive.” There are three types of adaptations that can occur: morphological

    concept in biology is that life changes and develops through evolution‚ and that all life-forms known have a common origin. The theory of evolution postulates that all organisms on the Earth‚ both living and extinct‚ have descended from a common ancestor or an ancestral gene pool. This last universal common ancestor of all organisms is believed to have appeared about 3.5 billion years ago.[21] Biologists generally regard the universality and ubiquity of the genetic code as definitive evidence in favor

    Homeostasis and why it is an important process for survival The environment around us is continually changing and poses difficulties for the body to carry out its internal processes. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment within the body regardless of changes in either external or internal conditions. It allows a certain degree of independence from the environment. Regulating body temperature is one instance where homeostasis occurs (Thermoregulation). Some methods

    All organisms that are considered to be alive must possess certain key characteristics or functions. These include: order‚ response to the environment‚ reproduction‚ growth and development‚ regulation‚ energy processing and evolution. Since we recognize life by what living things do‚ these seven characteristics serve to define life. Organisms consist of one or more cells and while they may be very complex they are highly organized and coordinated. Inside each cell‚ atoms make up molecules.
