Each living thing will get a set of DNA which will give them specific features due to their specific genetic code. This will make them live, grow and reproduce properly.

Grow and Develop

All living things grow and develop differently. When an organism grows, its cells divide. Which makes the living thing look different, and be able to preform different functions.

Responding to Their Environment

Living things respond to their environment to make it easier for the organism to live and make a habitat out of their specific location. Stimulus makes then react a certain way.

Reproduce

Each living thing reproduces a similar species, to make the population grow. The two ways to reproduce is asexual and sexual.

Every living thing needs a stable environment to live. In other words, they need to remain homeostatis

Obtaining and Using Material and Energy

All organisms need to be able to take in and use energy and nutrients. This will help the living thing grow, develop, and reproduce, which is a key factor.

Made up of Cells

Living things are composed of one or more cells that are small, complex and highly organized. The cells can grow and properly react to their surrounding as well as being able to reproduce.

Evolving

Groups of organisms evolve and change over time. This can be proven by change in DNA, psychical features and structures of proteins within the living thing.
