The contribution of Goodall, Chory, and Drew to reinforce the understanding of the characteristics of life.

Introduction:

Life is defined as some characteristics that help in distinguishing entities showing biological processes and the one that does not. The moieties that possess biological characteristics are known as animates whereas those that do not have such characteristics are known as inanimate.

Moieties having a life are known to evolve from earlier simpler ancestors through the process of evolution.

Explanation of Solution

Jane Goodall conducted her study on Chimpanzee and their behaviour in the natural environment and gathered information about food gathering, development, and growth in them. 

Joanne Chory was another scientist who performed a detailed study on mustard plants. She observed the effect of light on these plants and different types of responses of plants towards light. 

Charles Drew developed the method of separating blood cells from blood plasma, its safe transport, and storage for processes like transfusions. 

The contribution of these scientists provides insight into the cellular organization, and its effect on the external features of an organism, on the behavioral pattern, and the different characteristics possessed by living organisms. 

Conclusion

The contribution of these scientists gave a deep insight into different behavior in the natural environment, the response of living organisms towards their external environment, and internal organization of living creatures. Thus, it has reinforced the understanding of the characteristics of life.
