"Such organisms need not maintain a full complement of genes," Dr. Lawrence wrote, referring to the basic unit of heredity.
Some organisms need a transitional area for activities such as courtship, nesting, or foraging for food.
ETC has modified its stance to focus on the industrialisation of these processes, and specifically the fact that synthetic biodiesel organisms need food.
Genes can play only the indirect role of encoding and transmitting the adaptive features that organisms need to compete successfully.
Organisms need adaptations sufficient for survival and reproduction in the environment of the moment.
LoCs for non-target organisms need to be discriminated according to the species and parameters assessed.
Terrestrial organisms need to limit evaporation from their bodies in order to maintain a homeostatic water balance.
All organisms need to be capable of adapting to changes in the availability and composition of nutrients.
Sensing and responding to the environment are two essential functions that all biological organisms need to master for survival and successful reproduction.
This change has decreased the concentration of carbonate ions, which corals, planktonic marine snails called pteropods, and other marine organisms need to make calcium carbonate shells and skeletons.
Organisms need to reduce their uncertainty about what demands the environment will place on them and to develop in a way that meets those demands.
