Over generations, groups of organisms evolve. Evolutionary change links to all forms of life. Fossils are evidence that forms of life was common for more than 3.5 billion years ago.

Organisms are composed of one or more cells, the smallest units considered fully alive. Cells can grow, respond to their surroundings, and reproduce. Despite their small size, cells are complex and highly organized.

Every organism has a particular pattern of growth and development. A single fertilized egg divides. As cells divide, they differ.

Organisms store complex information they need to live, grow and reproduce in a genetic code. That information is copied an passed from parent to offspring. Life's genetic code is almost identical in every organism on Earth.
