What are plant cells?
organisms such as viruses and cancers that cause illness or even death
what are pathogens?
The parts of a mushroom that are used for reproduction.
What are spores?

What is the nucleus?
the way that cells can self destruct when they detect a virus or cancer has infiltrated
what is apoptosis?

What is the mycellium?
the genetic disorder that is a single point mutation in the red blood cells that co-evolved as a survival trait against malaria
What is Sickle Cell Disease?
the mechanism that allows advantageous traits to be “selected for” which can result in the emergence of new traits and potentially new species over time
What is natural selection?
The process of maintaining stable conditions for the cells.
What is homeostasis?
