| What is evolution? | How humans and other animals came to be the way they are today. |
| 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. |
| How are variations different from adaptions? | Variations are the slight change that cause the adaption. |
| Isolation? | Animals that get 'left behind' start a new generation with another animal. |
| Why do scientists classify organisms? | It is easier to recognize and study them. |
| 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 |
| 3 Domains? | Eukaryote, Archaea and Bacteria |
| What are the 6 kingdoms? | Protista, Animalia, Archaea, Plantae, Fungi and Bacteria. |
| Characteristics of Plantae? | -Food by Sun's energy -Can't move from place to place -Can grow around or on things -Can grow upward and toward light -Multicelluar -Eukaryote |
| Organisms from Animalia? | Humans, dogs, whales, bears, etc. |
| Organisms from Fungi? | Molds, Yeasts and Mushrooms |
