processes. The living world comprises an amazing diversity of living organisms. Early man could easily perceive the difference between inanimate matter and living organisms. Early man deified some of the inanimate matter (wind‚ sea‚ fire etc.) and some among the animals and plants. A common feature of all such forms of inanimate and animate objects was the sense of awe or fear that they evoked. The description of living organisms including human beings began much later in human history. Societies

Characteristics of Living Things Living things reproduce. In sexual reproduction‚ cells from two different parents unite to form the first cell of the new organism. In asexual reproduction‚ a single parent produces offspring that are identical to itself. Characteristics of Living Things Living things grow

Five Levels of Organization of Living Things or Organisms: 1. Cell - The basic unit of life that makes up all living things. 2. Tissue - A group of cells‚ that are alike‚ working together form tissue. 3.Organ - A group of tissue working together forms organs. 4. Organ system - Groups of organs working together. 5.

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

Section One : In the discipline known as taxonomy‚ scientists classify organisms and assign each organism a universally accepted name. The first part of the scientific name—in this case‚Ursus—is the genus to which the organism belongs. Agenus(JEE-nus; plural: genera‚ JEN-ur-uh) is a group of closely related species. Linnaeus’s hierarchical system of classification includes seven levels. They are—from smallest to largest—species‚ genus‚ family‚ order‚ class‚ phylum‚ and kingdom

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
