d. ligaseWhat is recombinant DNA
A variations that makes one better suited to the environment.
What is an adaptation?
Polygenic Traits are shown with a bell curve because there are multiple _______
alleles / phenotypes
A diagram that shows the evolutionary relationship between species
What is a cladogram
The 3 parts of a DNA nucleotide
What are - deoxyribose sugars, phosphate groups and nitrogenous base
Process used to copy DNA fragments
What is Polymerase Chain Reaction
Species evolving over time with changes
What is descent with modification?
Natural Selection that acts on the middle range of the bell curve (more fitness) leads to
stabilizing selection

What is natural selection?
What is genetic drift
Called the junk drawer of the Kingdoms. Eukaryotic but may be unicellular or multicellular. Some are photosynthetic autotrophs, some are heterotrophic consumers and some are heterotrophic decomposers.
