Biology
Life is supported by a few major characteristics that apply to all living organisms ranging from single celled organisms to multicultural organisms:
Adaptations: Where an organism adapts to its environment in order to survive.
Cellular Organization: The organism has a make up of one or more cells.
Growth & Development: It grows in some way and develops new things.
Heredity: The organisms genetics is passed on to its copies or offspring.
Metabolism: Is where the organism converts food into energy.
Reproduction: The organism makes a copy of itself or has sexual or asexual reproduction and produces offspring.
Responsiveness: Is any change in an organism in result to something stimulating it.
- Evolution
Evolution: Darwin vs. Lamarck Darwin's theory is called descent with modification. This means that he believed that each generation of an organisms offspring is in someway different than the previous generation. Which in conclusion would mean that...
- Genotype And Phenotype
What are Genotypes and Phenotypes? How do they relate to each other? A Genotype is the genetic make up or "internally coded, inheritable information" of a cell, organism or beings trait or set of traits. It is the complete amount of genes transmitted...

Mitosis can be compared to a couple of different cell actions. But what makes it different?Mitosis is the process of which a cell divides and creates copies of itself, the main purpose of this being to help the organism grow or to replace cells that are...

What makes up Life?
Life is supported by a few major characteristics that apply to all living organisms ranging from single celled organisms to multicultural organisms:
Adaptations: Where an organism adapts to its environment in order to survive.
Cellular Organization: The organism has a make up of one or more cells.
Growth & Development: It grows in some way and develops new things.
Heredity: The organisms genetics is passed on to its copies or offspring.
Homeostasis: Is where it can regulate its internal temperature so it can keep up health and functions even though its outside conditions may be changing.
Metabolism: Is where the organism converts food into energy.
Responsiveness: Is any change in an organism in result to something stimulating it.
