How does the respiratory, circulatory, and digestive System give humans nourishment.
The Respiratory breathes in oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide. The circulatory system carries oxygen around the body to the cells. The digestive system breaks down food and gets rid of waste.
Various forms of the same gene.
What is the difference between natural and artificial selection?
Natural Selection- Nature chooses best traits to survive
Artificial Selection- Humans choose the most desirable traits to reproduce

Define the four forms of asexual reproduction.
1. Mitosis - the splitting of a cell into two new identical cells. They have a nucleus.
2. Binary Fission - The splitting of a cell into two that don't have a nucleus.
3. Regeneration - Regrowing of a lost limb or body part by reproducing cells with the same genetic information.
4. Budding - forming a mass of cells near the bottom half of the organism. It eventually breaks off forming a new identical organism.
