Genus, Species
What is the difference between artificial selection and natural selection?

What is the difference between a monomer and a polymer?
Monomer (single chain) is a building block of a polymer (multiple).
What is the difference between a dominant allele and a recessive allele?
Dominant - shows trait, Capital Letter
Recessive - may not show trait, lower case letter

What structure helps some cells move by whipping back and forth?
Flagellum
Give one example of adaptation in nature.
ex: white fur in artic, webbed feet for aquatic/amphibious organisms, etc.
Main difference(s) between a plant and animal cell?
Plant: cell wall, chloroplasts
