This word describes parts of a cell
Organelles
200
A human body system is made up of these (you may think of them as the 'parts' of a body system)
Organs

What possible genotypes could result from this Punnett Square?
AA and Aa
200
What is the difference between natural and artificial selection (be specific!)
Natural selection is caused by an environmental change, while artificial selection is caused by humans choosing which organisms are able to reproduce based on their traits.

What is a connection between genetic mutations and natural selection?
Genetic mutation is one way that the variation can be created for natural selection to take place.
