26
Living things consists of same biomolecules such as DNA, ATP, amino acids, and enzymes.
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY genitics
27
Organisms that are closely related have more DNA and proteins in common than those that are more distantly related.

Evolution is a ? occurring in a ? of organism over ?
Evolution is a genetic change occurring in a population of organism over many generation
29
Mating is selective and not random
Nonrandom mating
30
Any change in genetic sequence that causes change in traits of an organism and may be inherited by offspring.
Mutation –
31
the movement of genes from one population to another.
Gene Flow -
