The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.
A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another. Heredity is made possible via large strings of chromosomes which carry information encoded in genes.
The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
