This process explains how species change over time due to genetic variation and environmental pressures.
evolution
100
This is the broadest level of classification in the biological hierarchy, dividing life into three major groups: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
Domain
100
This term refers specifically to humans and their closest extinct relatives, who walked upright on two legs.
Hominin
100
What is the purpose of deoxyribonucleic acid
to store genetic information
100
These types of cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
Eukaryotic cells
200
These structures in different species have similar anatomy but may serve different functions, suggesting common ancestry.
homologous structures
200
This is the most specific level of classification, referring to a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
Species
200
This group includes all great apes and humans but excludes monkeys.
Hominoid
200
adenine will always pair with
Thymine
200
These simple cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles and include bacteria and archaea.
Prokaryotic cells
300
When two species evolve in response to each other, such as pollinators and flowers, this process occurs.
coevolution
300
This kingdom includes multicellular, heterotrophic organisms that lack cell walls and usually move at some stage of life.
Animals
300
This feature allows primates to grasp objects and use tools with precision.
Opposable Thumb
300
This process ensures that a cell creates an exact copy of itself by duplicating and dividing its DNA into two identical daughter cells.
Mitosis
300
Organisms that must consume other living things for energy because they cannot make their own food.
heterotroph
400
This mechanism of evolution, described by Charles Darwin, favors individuals with traits that help them survive and reproduce.
Natural Selection
400
This kingdom consists of multicellular, autotrophic organisms that use photosynthesis to make their own food.
Plants
400
Compared to body size, primates have this trait, which allows for advanced thinking, problem-solving, and communication.
Large Brain ratio
400
In this process, a segment of DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA) inside the nucleus.
Transcription
400
These organisms, such as plants and algae, produce their own food using sunlight or chemicals.
autotroph
500
This scientist developed the theory of natural selection after studying finches in the Galápagos Islands.
Charles Darwin
500
This domain consists of single-celled microorganisms that often live in extreme environments like hot springs and deep-sea vents.
Archaea
500
This famous Australopithecus afarensis fossil, discovered in 1974, provided key evidence for early bipedalism. 
Lucy
500
This process occurs at the ribosome, where mRNA is read to assemble amino acids into a protein.
Translation
500
This process occurs in the mitochondria, where cells break down glucose to produce ATP energy.
