carries hereditary info that guides devel and other activities

consist of organisms

lipids proteins dna rna and complex carbohydrates

organism keeps its internal condition within tolerable ranges by sensing and responding to change

transmission of dna to offspring

one way

the treatment being tested

receive a certain treatment

making testing and evaluating hypotheses

characteristic or event that differs among individuals or over time

difference between results obtained from a subset and results from the whole

result that is statistically unlikely to have occurred by chance alone

when researchers cannot directly observe all individuals of a population

consistent natural phenomenon for which there is incomplete scientific explanation

hypothesis that has not been disproven after many years of testing

using large sample sizes

nutrients and energy
