    • Darwin theory of evolution
      1. Genetic variation(all individuals vary)
      2. Environmental change(lack of food,water,space)
      3. Must be competition in environment
      4. Natural selection/survival of the fittest
      5. Inheritance(surviving individuals reproduce and pass on successful ene to offspring)
    • What is natural slection(happens because of variation)
      individuals have better traits suited to the environment than others
    • Bionominal classification
      • An organisms scientific name had 2 Latin words referring to genus and species(Genus is capital and species is always lowercase)
      • E.g common name is human but scientific name is Homo(genus)sapiens(species)
    • A traditional way of classifying is splitting organisms into 5 kingdoms
      1. Plant(e.g.flowers,trees are multicellular)
      2. Animal(e.g.animals,dogs are multicellular)
      3. Fungi(e.g.mushrooms,yeast are multicellular)
      4. Prokaryotes(e.g.bacteria are unicellular)
      5. Protists(e.g. algae,ambodea are unicellular)
    • Carl woese proposed that the three domains of life above the kingdoms are
      bacteria
      archaea(primitive bacteria which lives in extreme environments)
      eukaryotic(protists,Fungi,animals and plants)
      • Linnanean system
      Carl linnaeus discovered the traditional way to classifying organisms into groups based on their similarities in there structures and characteristics.
    • Carl linnaeus grouped each organism into(kevin phylum can open familair great sounds)
      1. Kingdom
      2. Phylum
      3. Class
      4. Order
      5. Family
      6. Genus
      7. Specie
    • Carl woese developed 3 domain system using genetic analysis
