Answer:

My father takes the train

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent clause needs a subject, a verb conjugated in a tense, and the rest of the predicate.

In Jason and Heather’s teacher, There is no verb in any tense. It is a noun phrase, teacher is the head, and it is modified by a other nouns in the possessive case.

While I waited for my friend and After we finish are dependant clauses introduced by adverbial adjuncts of time.
