Darwin theory of evolution
Genetic variation
(all individuals vary)
Environmental change
(lack of food,water,space)
Must be
competition
in environment
Natural selection
/survival of the fittest
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
Plant
(e.g.flowers,trees are multicellular)
Animal
(e.g.animals,dogs are multicellular)
Fungi
(e.g.mushrooms,yeast are multicellular)
Prokaryotes(e.g.bacteria are unicellular)
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)
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Specie
Carl woese developed
3
domain system using
genetic analysis
