Slide 7 - Properties of Living Systems 3) Reproduction Replacement of individuals in a population Types of Reproduction Asexual Sexual
Slide 8 - Properties of Living Systems 4) Possession of a Genetic Program Faithful transmission of traits – Heredity Information contained in Genes Specifically encoded in the DNA
Slide 9 - Properties of Living Systems 5) Metabolism Complex chemical processes that go on in cells – provide energy Two processes Anabolism – Building up reactions Catabolism – Breaking down reactions
Slide 10 - Properties of Living Systems 6) Growth / Development Changes that take place during the life of an organism Metamorphosis – The transformation that take place in post-embryonic stages

Slide 16 - DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION 2) Common Descent All forms of life descended from a common ancestor through branching lineages PHYLOGENY DNA studies – Provide evidence
Slide 17 - DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION 3) Multiplication of Species new species are produced by the splitting and transformation of older ones Process known as – Speciation
Slide 18 - DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION 4) Gradualism Large differences that characterize different species, originate through the accumulation of small changes over a period of time Did not take place overnight – but over geological time
Slide 19 - DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION 5) Natural Selection Explains why organisms are constructed the way they are To meet the demands of their environment
Slide 20 - CLASSIFICATION Developed by Linnaeus
Slide 21 - Categories of Animal Classification Kingdom - Animalia Phylum - Chordata Class - Mammalia Order - Primates Family - Hominidae Genus - Homo Species - sapiens
