How does evolution relate to genetic material? | Genetic Material is related to evolution because mutations in the DNA cause the changes. |
Overpopulation? | When an organism produces too many babies and the environment can't handle it. |
Variation? | Change in DNA being passed down. |
Adaption? | A trait that is being passed down that gives the animal an advantage. |

Isolation? | Animals that get 'left behind' start a new generation with another animal. |

Is classifying animals important? Why or why not? | Yes because one simple name for an animal can mean something totally in another language. Putting them in binomial nomenclature is easier to recognize them. |
How are organisms classified? | Based on physical traits and genetic material/cells. |
What are the 8 levels of classification? | Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, class, family, genus and species. |
Most specific level of classification? | Species |
Most general level of classification? | Domain |
