Define Natural Selection:
Individuals that are best adapted to their particular environment, should on average, leave behind more offspring than those that are less adapted.
4 tenets of theory of evolution by means of natural selection:
1) Variation
2) Overproduction
3) Competition
4) Survival to reproduce
Absorptive heterotroph, chitin in cell walls:
Fungi kingdom
Prokaryote, causes many diseases:
Domain bacteria (Eubacteria)
Kingdom Plantae characteristics:
- Eukaryote
- Autotrophic
- Cellulose in cell walls
- Forms and retains embryo
- Includes non-vascular and vascular plants
