Document Summary
Sequence of dna is the blueprint of life. Complexity we form as groups and populations: design both good and bad. Result of genetic changes: diversity we see across our planet in the biological world, evolution. Big to small: tree of life = biggest. This is where genes and genomes are found that make up the biological world. The evolution and diversification of life that resulted in the tree of life are the result of genetic changes. Every living thing on this planet, cellular organism has been in one of these 3 categories. Eukaryotes (cid:498)complex(cid:499: do not have many complex organelles, have complex organelles including nucleus. It has a genome: genome = set of genetic instructions within a biological compartment. Everything that is alive right now (including us) is at the very edge of these groups: find thousands of branches representing unique species and lineages in the domains.
