What is an ECOSYSTEM?
100
This system acts as the body's first line of defense against pathogens and includes the skin and hair.
What is the immune system?
100
This term describes an allele that will always show up in the phenotype if even one copy is present.
What is a dominant allele?
200
Genetic variations in traits that different species inherit that allow them to live longer and reproduce more
