Heredity Material
1. ___________________________________
Universal Genetic Code
DNA helix- code that stores
everything
Essential to that organism
greatest achievement in
modern biology
responds to stimuli
8. ___________________________________
responds to light, temp, & touch
response: Eating or escaping
stimuli - what causes an action
response - reaction to stimuli
grow and develop
7. ___________________________________
infant to adult
Single cell increase in size
multicellular organisms go
through development process
Cells divide - change shape and
structure
can reproduce
2. ___________________________________
asexual reproduction - identical copies
EX. Bacteria & SOme Plants
sexual reproduction - 2 parents
contribute genetic material
Ex. Animals & Some plants
Living Things and
Their Characteristics
Lesson 1.3
pg. 22
Made of Cells
3. ___________________________________
Smallest thing still
considered living
Bacteria: single cell
(unicellular)
humans, whales, trees:
millions of cells
(multicellular)
Requires energy
4. ___________________________________
maintains metabolism
Grow, develop, and reproduce
comes from sun (plants) or other
organisms (animals)
Maintains homeostasis
Evolves through adaptations
6. ___________________________________ 5. ___________________________________
stable internal environment
Ex. Temperature, pH, and blood sugar
internal stimuli help maintain
homestasis
EX. body needs water --> Feel thirsty
change over time
can be see through fossils & DNA
adapt to changing environment
individual and group changes
