1. Unicellular (some aggregates exist, but there is no specialization of cells)\n\n2. convergent evolution (advantage of certain forms for certain function)\n\n3. expansion of local blood vessels (numerous factors trigger the blood vessels to expand and become leaky, allowing immune cells access to the tissue)

Cells. Cells are the basic unit of life. They make up every single living thing in the universe. Humans, plants, animal, bacteria, fungi, and every other living thing in the universe.

Mouse.... animal.... right.\n\nThat is to say the aspects which make them part of the Kingdom Animalia...\n\nSimple:\n#1. They're eukaryotic. That is to say for the most part they're multicellular, and have a cell structure including mitochondria, a complete genome and organelles.\n#2. They're heterotrophic. They derive energy from outside sources, rather than making their own as plants and fungi do.\n#3. No cell walls... just cell membrane holding the cell contents in. Obviously none of the required organelles used by autotrophic life either, since as previously mentioned they're heterotrophic.\n\n\nThats the basic answer for you.\nAny further characteristics of mice will not be shared by ALL members of Animalia.... in some cases merely most (such as differentiated tissues) and in some cases not many at all (whiskers, for instance).

The cell is the structural and functional unit of all living organisms, and is sometimes called the "building block of life." Some organisms, such as bacteria, are unicellular, consisting of a single cell. Other organisms, such as humans, are multicellular, (humans have an estimated 100 trillion or 1014 cells; a typical cell size is 10 µm, a typical cell mass 1 nanogram).\n\nThe cell theory, first developed in 1839 by Schleiden and Schwann, states that all organisms are composed of one or more cells; all cells come from preexisting cells; all vital functions of an organism occur within cells, and cells contain the hereditary information necessary for regulating cell functions and for transmitting information to the next generation of cells.\n\nThe word cell comes from the Latin cella, a small room. The name was chosen by Robert Hooke when he compared the cork cells he saw to the small rooms monks lived in.\n\nAll cells, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic, have a membrane, which envelopes the cell, separates its interior from its environment, regulates what moves in and out, and maintains the electric potential of the cell. Inside the membrane, a salty cytoplasm takes up most of the cell volume. All cells possess DNA, the hereditary material of genes, and RNA, containing the information necessary to build various proteins such as enzymes, the cell's primary machinery. There are also other kinds of biomolecules in cells.

All of the terrestrial vertebrates have four limbs (and thus, they are sometimes referred to as tetrapods, which literally means 'four feet').\n\nNot only that, but they all have the same basic structure of limb bones - pectoral girdle consisting of scapulae, with the humerus as the single upper arm bones, radius and ulna as the two lower arm bones and a wrist made up of carpal bones, followed by metacarpals and digits made up of phalanges.  The lower limb girdle is also nearly identical, with a pelvis, femurs, tibia/fibulla, tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges.\n\nThis incredible similarity of structure in limb bones between incredible diverse groups of organisms - chickens, frogs, salamanders, whales, lions, humans, seals, plesiosaurs, iguanas, horses, mice and platypus all have this same exact limb structure, is evidence that all of these organisms share a common ancestor that also had this limb arrangement.\n\nStrangely enough, the remaining vertebrate group, the fish, do not all share this limb bone arrangement.  Most of them have the same set-up of pectoral and pelvic limbs, but after that, there's a whole variety of totally different skeletal anatomy.\n\nThere is one group of fish that does have this limb arrangement though.  Most of them are only known as fossils today, but there is one living species of this group.  The sarcopterygians, or lobe-finned fish were the first known group to show this particular limb pattern.  The coelacanth also possesses the pattern.\n\nStrangely enough, the earliest known fossils of amphibians look amazingly similar to sarcopterygian fish with larger limbs.\n\nThis conservation of characters amongst all living terrestrial vertebrates is pretty powerful evidence for evolution having taken place, and that all of these diverse organisms developed through common descent from a single ancestor that first evolved this character.

The characteristic state or condition of a living organism.\nis the defenition.\n\nI would say it's a series of events, with different emotions and experiances, try to have kids, survive, and die. everyone dies, think of all the living things that have died on this planet sents life began on it. try and hade a good happy life, or a sad evil life. choose your own religion, or not. \n\nMany things can happen to your body after death, rot, mummify, be petrified. I believe that if there is a soul that it is only energy and it is released into the surrounding elements. You make your own hell or heaven here and now. You might be brought back to life through future genetic research, but you would be totally different because of your surroundings.

in the natural world animals develop features to attract a mate - the ones with the most perfect features (according, i assume, to their instinctive values of attraction) are the most attractive as mates. it works to ensure that the strongest/best examples of a species reproduce together, to ensure in turn that the species survives. so yes, in the natural world, an inherent concept of absolute beauty would appear to exist.\n\nhowever.\n\ndifferent animals develop different features, showing that each species has a different concept of beauty. also, in relation to human beings, it's important to remember that we have as a species gone beyond the trials of survival which necessitate mate selection in the natural world - in our secure society we can afford to be attracted to any number of things other than physical strength, cunning, childbearing suitability etc. \n\nso, in short, no, a universal concept of absolute beauty does not exist. on an individual level, i'd say that it does exist, but not only is it different in different people; it is constantly changing as we experience new things which alter our perception of the world.

1. Many traits are similar between all organisms.  Also it is believed that we all had a common organism.  This would mean that we all inherited the same gentic code.  Slight variations in this code make use different.\n\n2.  AUG,  AAU, GGC, & UGC \n\n3. UAC, UUA,  CCG,  ACG\n\n4. Methionine,  Asparagine, Glycine  & Cysteine \n\n5.  "Start" codon  I tells the ribosome to start reading the RNA and the tRNA to start bringing over amino acids.

In animals and plants, cells are the smallest units that can be considered alive. Your body, like all human bodies, is a collection of many many cells. Nearly all cells have the same basic parts - a nucleus, which has DNA, and a cell membrane, which acts as sort of a skin for the cell, keeping insides in, and outsides out. \n\nCells are arranged together to form tissues, which in turn arrange together to form organs, which fit together to form systems (like the digestive system), which in turn all keep you as one functioning living being!\n\nMost cells in a large organism like plants and animals have specialized purposes as well - some are nerve cells, transmitting signals to and from the brain to the rest of the body, some are in your blood, carrying oxygen to the rest of the body, some form your skin, keeping you from getting infected from outside. \n\nCells have their own lifespans, and can reproduce and die.\nSometimes, a mutation happens in cells, and they don't follow their genetic instructions and might grow and reproduce abnormally -- this is what cancer is.

one of the characteristics of living things is respiration, which is the breakdown of glucose to release energy, so the same thing applies for plants...because plants do respire!!! They need energy for other physiological processes like photosynthesis or growth or reproduction etc..

Can't be a virus  as one of the seven classical characteristics of life is assimilation of nutrients and viruses just don't do that. They hijack healthy cells in an organism and make them replicate the virus which runs across another characterisic of life viz. the ability to reproduce. I'd say it has to be a single cell organism of some sort but wish I could be more specific.

All organisms have symbiotic relationships. \n\nIn the case of sea horses the most obvious example are the bacteria that live in the gut. Without them the fish becomes much so prone to infection thatit can not survive. And of course the bacteria find the food provided essential to their survival.
