Study Notes
Unifying Themes in Biology
- Unity and diversity of life: a common thread that connects all living organisms
- Universal genetic code: shared among all living organisms
Role of Genes in Organisms
- Genes carry information for inherited traits and characteristics
- Genes are responsible for the development and function of an organism
- Genes determine the response to environmental stimuli
Scope of Biology
