    • variation can have environmental or inherited causes .
    • Environmental variation is the conditions in which the organisms surroundings is in . Humans are affected by environmental variation by sunburn and scars .
    • Inherited variation is caused by features being passed down form parents to their offspring eg; natural hair colour , eye colour
    • Classification , There are so many species that we have to put them into groups
      • Vertebrates are animals with back bones there are 5 types of vertebrates .  Inverterbrates are species without backbone there are 8 of them .
      • Amphibians have moist skin , lay eggs In water and the eggs have a jelly coating

        • Molluscs have fleshy pad for movement
          • echinoderms have bodies on 5 parts and a spiny outer covering.
        • crustceans have 5-7 pairs of legs and a chalky shell.
        • insects have 3 pairs of legs and bodies in 3 sections
        • arachnids have 4 pairs of legs  and bodies in 2 sections .
        • centipedes and millipedes have many pairs of legs and many bodie sections
