Organisms: an organism is a life-form, a living entity made up of one or more cells, organisms share 5 fundamental characteristics, energy, cells. The theory of evolution by natural selection: the theory of evolution by natural selection maintains that species change through time because individuals with certain heritable traits produce more offspring than other individuals do. Natural selection: natural selection occurs when two conditions are met: - Individuals within a population vary in characteristics that are heritable. In a particular environment, certain versions of these heritable traits help individuals survive better or reproduce more than do other versions. Tree of life: the tree of life is a family tree of organisms, which helps to understand the genealogical relations between organisms. Taxonomy: taxonomy is the effort to name and classify organisms, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.
