Asexual Reproduction
This type of reproduction involves only one parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
This tool is used to predict offspring traits.
What is a Punnett square.
Humans use this process to breed plants and animals for desired traits like size, speed, or color.
What is artificial selection?
Different versions of the same gene are called this.
What is heterozygous?
The genetic makeup of an organism is called this.
What is genotype?
A farmer grows new plants from cuttings of a parent plant, creating identical copies.
what is vegetative propogation?
If both parents are heterozygous (Aa x Aa), what is the probability of homozygous recessive (aa)?
What is 25%
This is the process of choosing parents with specific traits to produce offspring with those traits.
What is selective breeding?
Having two identical alleles is called this.
What is homozygous?
Physical appearances are called this.
What is phenotype?
This type of asexual reproduction is used by bacteria.
What is binary fission.
Aa x aa result in this percentage of heterozygous offspring.
What is 50?
This type of organism is created when scientists directly change DNA in a lab instead of using breeding.
What is a GMO?
Having two different alleles is called this.
What is heterozygous?
TT, Tt, and tt are examples of this.
What are genotypes?
What is regeneration.
In a cross of TT x tt, all offspring will have this genotype.
What is Tt?
This process allows humans to quickly change an organism's traits without waiting generations.
What is genetic modificaiton?
This allele is masked if a dominant allele is present.
What is recessive?
Brown eyes, blonde hair, being tall are all examples of this.
What is phenotype?
This method involves a new organism growing off the parent's body (like yeast or hydra).
What is budding.
In a cross between two heterozygous parents, this fraction of offspring will show the dominant phenotype.
What is 3 out of 4?
Artificial selection is slower because it requires many of these before major changes appear in a population.
What are generations?
A pair of alleles is inherited from these.
Who are parents?
A trait appears in every generation. No offspring ever skip it when at least one parent has it.
What is a dominant trait?
