Document Summary

There is no such thing as the most highly evolved species. Evolution theory: theory: explanation of what we see in natural world, specific. Biodiversity: variability among living organisms from all sources, variety of living species on earth. Identifies name and class of animals: taxonomist, systematist: identifies evolutionary relationships. Type material: collection of specimens of a species, used to describe a brand new species that will be created from the sample. Holotype: specimen used as description to describe a species. Paratype: the other animals in the sample that are compared to the holotype. Species: population in nature that can breed and produce viable offspring: inbreeding: mating between closely related individuals (share same genes, outbreeding: mating between unrelated conspecifics. Genetic variety: genome: full dna sequence. Nuclear genome: inside nucleus (humans=46 sets of chromosomes) Biological control agents: living things that help us control invasive species without the use of poison/pesticides.
