Main Concepts

Reproduction occurs when an organism produces another organism.

Survival is the ability of an organism to stay alive in its environment.

A trait is a characteristic of an organism.

Plants and animals inherit genetic information from their parents.

The genetic information that plants and animals inherit determines many of their traits.

Different organisms vary in how they look and function because they have inherited different mixtures of genetic information from their parents.

There can be a variety of traits among a group of similar organisms.

The differences in traits between individuals of the same species can help some organisms survive better than others in their environments.

Organisms that survive long enough in their environments can reproduce and pass on their genetic information.

Some examples of traits in plants and animals are size, color, texture, shape, and patterns.
