Who is the "father of genetics?"

What is a habitat?
The place where an organism lives.
What is gradualism?
Slow, constant changes over a long period of time.
Stem cells have potential to help.....what?
Embryos, bone marrow, and damaged tissue.
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
The assortment of chromosomes for one trait doesn‘t affect the assortment of chromosomes for another trait.
What is a limiting factor?
Anything that restricts population stability or growth in an ecosystem
What is natural selection?
Organisms with helpful traits survive and reproduce more.
What is recombinant DNA?
Artificially made DNA from 2 or more different sources.
What is a dominant allele?
