Study Notes
Characteristics of Offspring
- Offspring characteristics are determined by parental genetic material.
- Genetic continuity ensures traits are passed to the next generation.
Examples of Organisms
- Humans are complex organisms with DNA influencing traits.
- Houseflies (insects) exhibit distinct traits based on their genetics.
Fungi Characteristics
- Fungi are non-photosynthetic organisms, relying on other methods for energy.
- Their cell walls are composed of chitin, differentiating them from plants.
- Some fungi are single-celled, like yeasts, while others form multicellular structures.
Cell as the Fundamental Unit
- The cell is the fundamental unit of all living matter; life depends on intact cells.
- A fragment of a cell is not considered living matter, emphasizing the importance of whole cells.
Classification Systems
- The 'Five Kingdom' classification is a widely accepted method for categorizing life forms.
- Other classification systems have existed historically and may still be in consideration.
