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.
