Q

Emergent Properties

A

Results from interactions among components at lower levels, biological organization are examples of the properties and happens when nature into interacts to parts as complexity increases

17
Q

System of Biology

A

Exploration of biological system by analyzing the interactions among its parts

18
Q

What is evolution responsible for?

A

Unity and diversity, adaption of organisms to environment, modified descendants from common ancestors

19
Q

What are the seven common characteristics restricts?

A

Species, genus, family, order, phylum, kingdom, and domain

20
Q

What are examples of Domain?

A

Animals and bacteria

21
Q

What is Charles Darwin’s theory evolution?

A

Descendants with modifications and natural selection

22
Q

What evidence supported Charles Darwin’s natural selection theory?

A

1) inheritable traits
2) overproduction
3) adapt to environment

23
Q

Evolution

A

Process of change that has transformed life on Earth from its earliest beginnings to the diversity of organisms living today

24
Q

True or false. Within the system of biology there a structure and function which often correlates. For example the hummingbirds wings by backwards so it can feed

A

True
