6 themesthat unify Biology |
1. Cells are the simplest unit of life 2. Structure and function are correlated in biological organization 3. New properties emerge at each level in the biological hierarchy 4. Organisms interact with their environments, exchanging matter and energy 5. Feedback mechanisms regulate biological systems 6. The continuity of life is based on heritable information in the form of DNABesides Evolution there are 6 themesthat unify BiologyConnect the facts to these themes |
