Genetics
Mendel used T to show the dominant allele for height, meaning tall. He used this letter to show the recessive allele.
What is t?
Certain traits that help animals survive
What is adaptations?
An organism's physical appearance is called this
What is phenotype?
Why is maintaining biodiversity important?
A. Biodiversity uses resources
B. Biodiversity destroys habitats
C. Biodiversity uses land
D. Biodiversity helps the environment
What is d?
Only type of reproduction that leads to diverse genetic
Reproduction involving one parent
What is asexual reproduction?
Behavioral adaptation that skunks are known for
What is spraying other animals to defend its self?
This is the term that refers to the physical characteristics that are studied in genetics.
What is trait?
What are the three types of biodiversity?
A. Species, Genetic, Disorder
B. Mutation, Disoerder, Regression
C. Genes, Cells, Traits
D. Water, Land, Mountains
What is A. Species, Genetics, Disorder?
asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site
What is budding?
Reproduction involving two parents
What is sexual reproduction?
When winter months arrive, some animals store up food and sleep for a long period of time.
What is hibernation?
An organism's genetic type is called this.
What is genotype?
Variety of living things which leads to ecosystem sustainibility
What is biodiversity?
asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies
What is binary fission?
The part of DNA which codes for a specific trait
What are genes?
Reason is it important for animals to be able to camouflage themselves
What is to hide from predators?
If this type of allele is present, its trait will appear in the organism.
What is dominant?
Where you find biodiversity.
What is everywhere?
asexual method of reproduction in which a new organism grows from a piece of the parent organism
What is regeneration?
One of two or more alternative forms of a gene
What is an allele?
Reason for hibernation
What is change in season from fall to winter?
Any change in a gene or chromosome.
What is a mutaion?
This occurs when biodiversity is lost.
What is extinction?
asexual method of plant reproduction that occurs when its leaves, roots and stem travel outward from the plant to create new offspring
What is vegetative propogation?
