multi-cellular organisms Theory of Evolution Darwin (studied in the Galapagos) and Wallace (studied in South East Asia) proposed that all species are related by common ancestry; they also proposed that the characteristics of a species can be modified from generation to generation Evolution – postulates that: o Species are related to one another o Species can change through time Natural Selection – process that explains how evolution occurs -> over time‚ it is the transition of genetic material

by Pinker (2000)‚ who argued that language promoted a distinctive adaptive advantage‚ and the other suggested by Sperber (2000)‚ who argued that language arose as a by product of cognitive abilities. Language is used by a variety of different species to communicate. For example‚ Karl Von-Frisch (1950) after having studied bees‚ found that bees once they had returned to their hives performed certain dances to communicate other bees where and how far the food was. Moreover‚ Seyfarth et al. (1980)

synthesis and creation of new species. It is also understood today that all organisms survive by consuming and transforming energy and by regulating their internal environment to maintain a stable and vital condition. Subdisciplines of biology are defined by the scale at which organisms are studied‚ the kinds of organisms studied‚ and the methods used to study them: biochemistry examines the rudimentary chemistry of life; molecular biology studies the complex interactions among biological molecules; botany studies

To begin the lesson‚ they played a game called “Guess who makes that sound?”. This game included the teacher playing various sounds of different species of frogs without showing the student the video.

The teacher then showed them the video part to connect the call to the frog

is the relationship between organisms and environment‚ so ecology may well be called as "Environmental Biology." Growth‚ development and destruction of all organisms is determined by physical and biological conditions‚ their extremes and their interactions. Environment determines the destiny of a living organism. Plants growing in any particular place fully adapt themselves to that habitat. The term ecology was first of all proposed by Reiter‚ a zoologist in 1865. In 1866 Haeckel another zoologist
