Document Summary
Biology 1m03- lecture 1- chapter 1 biology and the tree of life. Cell theory involves the idea that all organisms comprise of cells and that cells derive from pre- existing cells. Theory of evolution by natural selection involves the idea that species change through time because individuals with particular heritable traits survive and produce offspring more effectively than other individuals. A phylogenetic tree is a diagram that may be interpreted as representing inferred evolutionary relationships among species. Biologists ask questions, generate hypotheses to answer them and design experiments to test the predictions. Are comprised of two components: patterns observed in the natural world, mechanisms or processes proposed to produce the patterns. A cell is a highly organized compartment bounded by a plasma membrane that contains concentrated chemicals in an aqueous solution. Complete cell theory: all organisms are made of cells and all cells come from pre-existing cells.
