evolution the concept that all given organisms are related to each other though common ancestry Have scientists proven that life exists? No Big Bang Theory of how the universe formed 16-18 billion years ago Symbiosis the interaction between two different organisms living in close association "life coming together" Spontaneous Generation Theory that life arose spontaneously from inanimate matter. Not a widely held belief among scientists Biogenesis Hypothesis Theory that living matter c...

dependent: a variable whose value is measured during an experiment to see if it is influenced by changes in the independent variable. independent: a variable whose value is controlled and manually changed during an experiment to reveal effects on the dependent. - ️️define: dependent vs. independent variables living organisms have cells, movement, reproduction and growth abilities. - ️️compare living organisms with nonliving objects. viruses have DNA. however, they are not made of ...

convergent evolution - unrelated or distantly related organisms evolve similar body forms, coloration, organs, and adaptations natural selection - the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring (acts on individuals but populations evolve) Judeo- Christian perspective - The Creator: God made everything Linnaeus - Binomial nomenclature and nested classification system Cuvier - fossils in strata- catastrophism Hutton and Lyell - g...
