AP Enduring Understandings - 1.A, 1.C, 1.D, 2.A, 2.C, 2.D, 3.E, 4.A, 4.C

1.A: Change in the genetic makeup of a population over time is evolution. 

1.B: Organisms are linked by lines of descent from common ancestry. 

1.C: Life continues to evolve within a changing environment. 

1.D: The origin of living systems is explained by natural processes. 

2.A: Growth, reproduction and maintenance of the organization of living systems require free energy and matter. 

2.B: Growth, reproduction and dynamic homeostasis require that cells create and maintain internal environments that are different from their external environments. 

2.C: Organisms use feedback mechanisms to regulate growth and reproduction, and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. 

2.D: Growth and dynamic homeostasis of a biological system are influenced by changes in the system’s environment. 

2.E: Many biological processes involved in growth, reproduction and dynamic homeostasis include temporal regulation and coordination. 

3.A: Heritable information provides for continuity of life. 

3.B: Expression of genetic information involves cellular and molecular mechanisms. 

3.C: The processing of genetic information is imperfect and is a source of genetic variation. 

3.D: Cells communicate by generating, transmitting and receiving chemical signals. 

3.E: Transmission of information results in changes within and between biological systems.

4.A: Interactions within biological systems lead to complex properties. 

4.B: Competition and cooperation are important aspects of biological systems. 

4.C: Naturally occurring diversity among and between components within biological systems affects interactions with the environment.
