biological process by which new individual organisms – "offspring" – are produced from their "parents". Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life; each individual organism exists as the result of reproduction. There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual. In asexual reproduction‚ an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism. Asexual reproduction is not limited to single-celled organisms. The cloning of an organism is a form of asexual reproduction. By

How can we tell if an organism is alive or not? Is a virus ‚ prion‚ virod‚ or a rock a living organism? What is life? Biologist have studied what makes organism alive for many years and have come to the conclusion the there are nine characteristics of life. Each characteristic has a property which applies to how and organism is alive. Life characteristics are as follows: order‚ metabolism‚ motility‚ responsiveness‚ reproduction‚ development‚ heredity‚ evolution‚ and adaptation. All of the characteristics

With this theory people can find great answers to all of their questions. They also might find new organisms.

This project is beneficial because regeneration is a big topic right now and regeneration in biology is the process of renewal ‚ restoration ‚ and growth that makes genomes ‚ cells ‚ organisms ‚ and ecosystems resilient to natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbances or damage. So regeneration is only applicable to some animals but in the future it could grow to other animals and maybe in the far future humans with the proper research and experimentation . my data will allow scientist

Population is all the organisms that both belong to the same species and live in the same geographical area. The area that is used to define the population is such that inter-breeding is possible between any pair within the area and more probable than cross-breeding with individuals from other areas. Normally breeding is substantially more common within the area than across the border.

an organism? -It could train them to respond to certain smells and respond in a certain way. How would natural selection affect an organism’s ability to sense and respond to this stimulus? -The organism depends on its ability to sense and respond. The organisms could compete for water or hydration. What other types of stimuli would be important for the organism to respond to? - An organism that is used to light is suddenly put in darkness‚ it may search for light. If an organism that

1. Define ecology. Identify the two features of organisms studied by ecologists. Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment‚ which in turn determine both the distribution of organisms and their abundance. Ecologists study how interactions between organisms and the environment affect phenomena such as the number of species living in a particular area‚ cycling of nutrients in a habitat‚ and the growth of populations. 2. Describe the relationship between

Characteristics of Living Organisms In order to identify living organisms‚ scientists listed 7 characteristics which all living organisms have: 1. Nutrition: Taking in nutrients which are organic substances and mineral ions‚ containing raw materials and energy for growth and tissue repair‚ absorbing and assimilating them. 2. Excretion: Removal from organisms of toxic materials‚ the waste products of metabolism and substances in excess. 3. Respiration: Chemical reactions that break
