100
The type of reproduction that passes traits directly from parent to offspring with very little variation.
What is asexual reproduction?
100
The type of reproduction that passes traits from two parents to an offspring and creates a lot of genetic variation.
What is sexual reproduction?
100
A special quality or characteristic.
What is a trait?
100
These are known as "packets" of genetic information.
What are genes?
100
He is the Austrian monk who "discovered" genetics.
What is Mendel?
200
Three patterns of inheritance that result offspring that are clones of the parent organisms.
What are mitosis, budding and binary fission?
200
Males (men) use this type of cell to pass their genetic information to an offspring.
What is a gamete/sperm cell?
200
Scientists believe that every trait has two "versions." Each "version" of a trait is called an __________________.
What is allele?
200
This tells a cell what to do - it's "the boss."
What is DNA?
200
You can use this type of graphic organizer to predict the genotypes of possible offspring.
What is a Punnett Square?
300
This phrase describes how the offspring of asexual reproduction compares to its parent.
What is genetically identical?
300
The number of chromosomes contained in a female gamete.
What is twenty-three?
300
When one version of a trait "masks" or "blocks out" another version of the same trait, it is called a ____________________________.
What is a dominant allele?
300
This is what happens when a cell's DNA tells it to look a certain way and do a specific job.
What is cell differentiation/specialization?
300
One reason why cloning is potentially (possibly) bad for a species is because what kills one kills all if there is not enough of this...
What is genetic variation?
400
This process explains how a zygote grows into a blastocyst.
What is mitosis?
400
The name of the cell that is formed when genetic information from two parents joins together.
What is a zygote?
400
Each parent passes some of its genetic information to an offspring through sexual reproduction. This process is called _______________.
What is inheritance?
400
Changes in this can affect gene expression in your phenotype. This is why Siamese cats, which are genetically WHITE CATS, have brown fur.
What is environmental change/the environment?
400
A zygote and a bacterial cell have this in common - they pass traits to their offspring through...
What is mitosis/asexual reproduction/cloning?
500
Vocabulary word that means "the passing of traits from parent to offspring."
What is inheritance?
500
Unlike cloning, sexual reproduction creates offspring that are __________________________ from their parents.
What is genetically different?
500
Genotype determines how you look. The scientific term for how you look is _____________________.
What is phenotype?
500
A blastocyst becomes an embryo only after this process begins.
What is cell differentiation?
500
These are the names of Ms. Vieux's four cats.
