Fig. (cid:1005). (cid:1007) poi(cid:374)ts out se(cid:448)e(cid:374) properties of life. Keep in mind that there are areas of study for each of these levels and within these levels as well. In bsc1010, we focus on biology at the cellular level, so we are learning about levels 8-10. And evolution starts with changes that occur in the dna, a chemical molecule in the cell that is passed on from one generation to the next in reproduction. It provides a scheme to put similar organisms into to categories.
