a specie is a category within the classification
system.living things of the same type belong to
the same species.
individuals of the same specie can reproduce to
make more individuals of the same specie
variation
all people are human.they belong to the same species.your
friends may have diffrent eye and hair colour.the presence of
diffrences between living of the same species is called
variation
continuous and discontinuous
continuous
for any specie with acharacteristic that changes gradually over a
range of values shows continuous variation.
discontinuous
characteristic of any specie with only a limited number of possibe values
inherited and enviromental
variation in a characteristic that is a result of genetic inheritance from
the parents is called inherited variation
variation caused by the surrondings is called enviromental variation
both types together
some features can be enviromental and inherited because if a pair
of twins inherit the parents features but one is given less food that
the other one it will grow heavier:enviromental
natural and artificial selection
individuals with the variations best suited to the
enviroment will survive better than others - natural
when people use selective breeding to produce new varieties of a
species.
clasifying organisms
carl linnaeus started the modern system of
putting species of organism into certain groups
and giving them scintifc m¡anmes.
