Adaptation
What is an environment ?
An environment contains many habitats and include areas where There are both living and non living things.
Why is evolution so important?
Evolution is important because it’s the unifying principle of biology,explaning the diversity and adaptation of life on earth.
What is a fossil?
A fossil is the preserved remains or traces of a plant that lived long ago typically more than 10,000 years .
Who was Carl Linnaeus ?
Swedish biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as Carolus Linnaeus .
What is classification?
the arrangement of animals and plants in taxonomic groups according to their observed similarities (including at least kingdom and phylum in animals, division in plants, and class, order, family, genus, and species).
What is a habitat?
A habitat refers to a specific area or place which animals and plants can live.
How did evolution help to make more new species ?
Through a process called speciation.
How are fossils made ?
Fossils are formed when the remains or traces of ancient organisms are preserved in a rock.
What was the system Carl Linnaeus created?
Binomial naming system.
Why is classification so important?
Classification is important because it helps organize and make sense of the vast and diverse world around us.
Can you think of two ways that fish are suited to living in the water?
It has gills to breath in oxygen in the water.
What is evolution?
Evolution,in biology is the change in the heritable characteristics of biology population over successive generations.
What are fossils mostly found in?
fossils are found within sedimentary rocks .
When was Carl Linnaeus born?
May 23 1707
What was the common name for Linnaeus system?
The Linnaeus system is commonly known as binomial nomenclature.
How do adaptations happen?
Adaptations form through a process called natural selection,where organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce passing those traits onto their offspring.
How does natural selection work?
Natural selection works by favoring individuals with traits that make them better suited to their environment,allowing them to survive and reproduce more successfully.
Why are fossils buried so dead into the ground ?
Fossils are buried deep underground primary due to the accumulation of sediments over vast periods of time.
When did Carl Linnaeus die?
January 10 1778
WHat impact did Carl Linnaeus have on biology?
He was the first to consistently use a binomial system of classification, giving organisms a one-word general name (called the genus) associated with a one-word specific epithet.
What are the similarities and differences between plants and animals adaptation?
Both plants and animals are exhibit adaptations to thrive in their environments but they do so through different mechanisms.
What is the difference between adaptation and evolution?
Adaptation refers to specific traits or features of an organism , while evolution is the border process of change in the genetic makeup of a population over multiple generations.
The primary "force" driving genetic mutation and variation is mutation itself.
When did Carl Linnaeus make the binomial naming system?
1753.
How many kingdoms did Linnaeus initially propose?
Linnaeus initially proposed three kingdoms: Animal, Plant, and Mineral. While the mineral kingdom was later abandoned, he initially used it as a category for non-living things.
