from the fertilized egg. The fourth property of all living organisms possess is that populations of organisms evolve over many generations. Adaptations are inherited characteristics that allow organisms to survive in a particular environment. The seahorse has evolved and adapted camouflage. Which property is NOT a property of all living things? Ability to move* Properties of living things: having order‚ reproduce‚ evolve. Organisms that produce sexually do not produce exact copies of themselves

Duplicates its DNA and divides into two new organisms. 8. Explain the process of budding. (2pts) A small part of the parent organisms body breaks off and grows into a new organism 9. What is vegetative propagation? (2pts) Runners/rhizomes/tubers spread from the parent plant and form “plantlets” at the ends of vines or leaves 10. Explain what happens during fragmentation/regeneration. (2pts) Part of the parent’s body breaks off and forms a complete‚ new organism 11. Describe the process of conjugation

We chose a gene of our choice to compare to humans‚ to see if any other organisms have the gene that we were looking at other than humans‚ and if so how much do we share. Gene: Actin The initial gene that we started with was actin and there was so many relationships between humans and other organisms. I was surprised how closely related we are to others. It showed a cladogram of the relationships. What other organisms have it The actin gene organization and

Mitosis and Meiosis Mitosis and meiosis are both important to a living organism because they represent cell divisions that are very important to every living organism because without cell division all living organisms would fail to reproduce‚ eventually dying out. Cell division plays a very important role in the life cycle of a cell. Mitosis and meiosis are important to living organism because they help living organisms to grow‚ develop‚ and reproduce. Mitosis is a type of asexual reproduction

BIODIVERSTY the term "biodiversty" has been derived from ’bio’ and ’diversity’."Diversity" means variety within a species and among species.Biodiversity is a measure of the variety of organisms present in different ecosystem. Diversity of plants and animals the diversity of plants ’(flora) and animals’(fauna)’ ia region depends on climate‚altitude‚soils and the presence of other species.it is the richest in the tropics. biodiversity found on earth today is the result of 4billion years of

Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the living and non-living components of their environment. It involves collecting information about organisms and observing their life patterns as well. Ecology is a science that seeks to explain why patterns occur the way they do. Interdependence is a key component of biology‚ meaning that all the organism interact with one another in various ways. Its very crucial for organisms since they all depend on one another for survival

Chapter 1 Environment- All external conditions‚ factors‚ matter‚ and energy‚ living and nonliving‚ that affect any living organism or other specified system. Non-Point Sources- Broad and diffuse areas‚ rather than points‚ from which pollutants enter bodies of surface water or air. Examples include runoff of chemicals and sediments from cropland‚ livestock feedlots‚ logged forests‚ urban streets‚ parking lots‚ lawns‚ and golf courses. Compare point source.

processes unify the ecosystem to function as a unit. Of equal importance in the functioning of the ecosystem is the evolutionary process‚ which is unique to living organism. Students of environmental biology will learn about the interactions and relationships of the vsrious components of the ecosystem by directly observing the organism in their natural habitat. Observation in the field will be strengthened by group discussions and by answering the guide questions given in the exercise. Objectives:
