      BASIC CONCEPTS

      Biology is the study of life

      The characteristics of life are metabolism, reproduction, growth, movement, responsiveness, and complex organization

      The scientific method: How scientists study biology

      Based on the observation of phenomena to formulate hypotheses that are both testable and falsifiable (in case they are wrong)

      Used to test hypotheses, collect data, and analyze data statistically (if necessary)

      BIOLOGY

      EVOLUTION

      Evolution is the concept that all organisms are related to each other by common ancestry; it is the unifying theme in biology

      Natural selection: A mechanism, formulated by 19thcentury biologists Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace, for the occurrence of evolution based on the survival of those offspring best adapted to the conditions in which they live

      Individuals sexually reproduce, creating many more offspring than could possibly survive

      These offspring are not identical (in most situations) but show variations based on genetic differences

      Essentially, those individuals with variations that allow them to survive (i.e., adaptations) to the age of reproduction can pass their genes on to the next generation

      Thus, nature is selecting offspring and shaping the evolution of species

      Organismal Evolution

      Organismal Evolution
