divide into two halves, also known as binary fission
What else can I help you with?
What charateristics do all living things have in common?
There are three criteria for something to be described as living/an organism: It must eat It must move of it's own accord It must be able to reproduce
What is meant by biological fitness?
Biological fitness refers to an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment. It is a measure of how well an organism is adapted to its specific ecological niche and how successful it is at passing on its genes to the next generation. Organisms with higher biological fitness are more likely to contribute their genetic information to future populations.
Identify the basic characteristics of life that define a living organism?
There are 6 basic characteristics of a living organism: Movement, reproduction, sensitivity, growth, respiration, excretion, and nutrition. You'll have to find out for yourself whether or not they describe a living organism...... You have to move if you are alive, no matter what speed or quantity You have to reproduce in order for your species to survive You have to have certain amounts of sensitivity to different things. You have to grow because you might not be fully formed when you were born or created A spontaneous generation is a life form that appeared or created itself out of inanimate matter (basically an alive thing popping up out of microscopic stuff)
In order to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to calculate genetic variation in a population which of the following conditions must exist in the population?
All organisms must reproduce.
Does an adaptation have to fit the environment?
Yes, an adaptation is a characteristic or trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in their environment. Therefore, for an adaptation to be successful, it must fit the specific challenges and conditions of the environment in which the organism lives.
What are the five jobs an organism must do?
An organism must obtain nutrients, grow and develop, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis to survive and thrive in its environment.
What are the factors that qualify n organism as a animal?
Their are six major characteristics 1. The organism can move at least once in its life. 2. The organism must capture food (not make its own) 3. It must be multi-celled 4. They must be Eukaryotic (have a nucleus and organelles) 5. It must be able to digest its food 6. It must be able to reproduce sexually but it can also reproduce asexually.
Can the non-living reproduce?
No, non-living things cannot reproduce. Reproduction is a characteristic of living organisms that involves the production of offspring. Non-living things do not possess the ability to reproduce because they lack the essential biological processes and mechanisms required for reproduction.
Do all living things have to reproduce in order to prove that they're alive?
If it is a living organism it must reproduce itself sexually or asexually. Reproduction of the organism ( not viral hijacking of the reproductive mechanisms ) is one part of the definition of living things.
Can plant seeds reproduce sexually?
Some plants reproduce sexually, depending on the type. Plant seeds must grow into plants before they can reproduce.
What is the first thing that must happen before an organism becomes fossilized?
It must die.
Is a cat a living organism?
Yes, a cat is a living organism. A living organism must have cells, it must reproduce, grow and develop, respond to change, have DNA, and it uses energy. A cat (a mammal) does and has all of those things. David (venom751998)
Must EVERY memeber of a particular species one kind of organism be able to reproduce in order for the species to survive?
No. It is not necessary for EVERY member of a species to reproduce in order for the species to survive. Consider humans. Some are infertile and can't reproduce, and some choose not to reproduce, yet the human species survives.
What are four thing you have to do to be considered a living organism?
To be considered a living organism, you must be able to grow and develop, maintain homeostasis by regulating internal conditions, respond to stimuli from the environment, and reproduce to pass on genetic information to offspring.
What charateristics do all living things have in common?
There are three criteria for something to be described as living/an organism: It must eat It must move of it's own accord It must be able to reproduce
Describe how the organism meets at least five of the characteristics of living things?
There are seven characteristics of living things. An organism must be composed of cells, have different levels of organization, use energy, respond to its environment, grow, reproduce, and be able to adapt to their environment.
Why must disaccharides and polysaccharide be digested before an organism can use them?
Because organisms use (metabolize) monosaccarides.
