Q

Taxonomy

A

The branch of biology that names and classifies species, formalizes the ordering of species into groups of increasing breadth, based on the degree to which they share characteristics.

19
Q

22
Q

Domain archaea characteristics

A

Prokaryotes, extremophiles, single cell, no membrane bound nucleus, no membrane bound organelles.

23
Q

Domain Eukarya characteristics

A

Eukaryotic cells, bigger, more complex, has membrane bound nucleus, membrane bound organelles, mostly multi cell (exception for others)

24
Q

Charles Darwin

A

Studied natural selection ; wrote: the origins of species.

25
Natural selection
Evolutionary adaptation | Species that have the best suited trait, have better changed if propagating and better chance to pass down its genes.
26
Hypothesis
Predictions based on observations that answer your question
27
A control
The group that gets nothing
28
Variable
