The Scope of Life and Emergent Properties, Organisms exchange matter and energy within ecosystems, Cells are an organism’s basic unit, The Continuity of Life is based on the information in DNA, Diversity is the hallmark of life ands the diverse forms of life fit their functions, and Evolution 11.

A prediction is a guess of what might happen based on your hypothesis.
