Phenotype
Natural Selection
Humans have more genes than any other organism
True
False
Variants of genes are called
nucleotides
phonemes

In natural selection
the smaller individuals are pruned from a population
the bigger you are the better you are
traits that are advantageous allow individuals to survive and reproduce at a greater rate
only the strong survive

asthma
Natural Selection
base pairs
Founder effect

False
True
