Body Systems
this is the body’s command center; it is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves
nervous
the smallest living unit of an organism
cell
when single celled organisms make a copy of their DNA, then the cell splits in half forming two new cells
bianary fission - asexual
the process by which humans breed organisms with desired traits they find useful or attractive
artificial selection/selective breeding
a kingdom where it is eukaryotic, has cell walls, is multicellular, and includes autotrophs
Plantae
the system that contains the organs that are involved in breathing
respiratory
a group of cells with a specific function
tissue
a smaller version of the parent organism grows off of the parent, eventually seperating and functioning on its own
budding - asexual
the process where living things with traits that help them survive are more likely to have offspring
natural selection
the kingdom where it includes eukaryotic, multicellular, mainly sexual, heterotrophic organisms
Animalia
the system that removes waste from the blood
urinary
self contained part of an organism with a specific structure and function
organ
a piece of the parent is cut off and offspring grows from the cut piece
fragmentation regeneration - asexual
a trait or behavior that helps a living thing survive and thrive in its environment
adaptation
the classification of organisms
the system that delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells in the body
circulatory
a group of organs that work together to perform human body functions
organ system
the reproduction where offspring inherits genes of only one parent
asexual reproduction
a characteristic or feature of a living thing
trait
an organism that eats other organisms for energy and nutrients
heterotroph
this is the system responsible for the movement of the human body
muscular
one animal, one plant, or a one-celled organism
organism
the reproduction method when two parents create new organisms by the combination of genetic information while the offspring inherits mixed traits
a change in a gene that can happen naturally and might cause a new trait
mutation
prokaryotic
