Cladograms can be used to show evolution between species with a common ancestor

Scientists classify things based on their characteristics. Classification relates to my Taxonomy challenge and classification also relates to genes and behaviour.

Organisms are adapted to live in certain environments based on how they evolve. Evolution relates to both Cell Biology and Taxonomy because evolution comes from common ancestors.

During this challenge I drew a picture of the difference between an animal cell, bacteria, and a virus. This was one of my favourite activities I did because I got to be creative while still learning the facts.

If questions like these intrigue you and is something that you are very interested in you can look into how to become a cell biologist. A cell biologist is a type of scientist that studies the structure and behaviour to uncover the mysteries of living organisms.

The animals genes and behaviours can play a role in natural selection. If an animal is more advanced to be able to adapt to different conditions they are more likely to survive than an animal who is only able to live in certain conditions.

If you are interested in topics such as natural selection you might want to look into studying ecology. When you study ecology you observe environmental patterns and test hypotheses about populations, communities, and ecosystem function.

Genetic biodiversity is what evolution uses to adapt species to changes in the environment. If an animal has little genetic biodiversity they might not be able to adapt which is where natural selection will take over.

In this challenge we looked at different fruits and vegetables and how they were artificially selected. This was one of my favourite activities in this challenge because of all the stories of how the foods we know and love evolved over time.
