Q
Natural selection
A
Variation can lead to a species evolving because some organisms can outcompete others as they are better adapted to the environment, and are therefore more likely to survive due to natural selection. This means they are more likely to reproduce and pass on their characteristics.

9
Q
Why do we use the 3 domains rather than the 5 kingdoms?
A
Genetic analysis
10

A
No nucleus with all genes used for something
12
Q
Archaea
A
No nucleus some unused DNA present
13
Q
Eukarya
A
Nucleus with some unused DNA present
