a principle in genetics that states that when parents with contrasting traits are crossed, only one form of the trait will appear in the offspring
The law of dominance
Traits inherited from parents that determine characteristics of an organism.
Genetic Factors
External conditions like sunlight, water, soil quality, and temperature that affect growth.
Environmental Factors
The process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into food.
Photosynthesis
The variety of different species in an ecosystem, which helps it adapt to changes.
Biodiversity

Climate Change
The health and nutrient content of the soil, which affects plant growth.
Soil Quality
The ability of an organism to fight off diseases, often influenced by genetics.
Disease Resistance
Substances that provide nourishment essential for growth and the maintenance of life.
Nutrients
Changes in an organism that help it survive in its environment.
Adaptation
Underwater structures made from coral polyps that are sensitive to environmental changes.
Coral Reefs
A group of living organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring.
Species
The speed at which an organism increases in size or number.
Growth Rate
The observable physical characteristics of an organism, influenced by both genetics and environment.
