What is offspring?
A trait gained from a parent
What is inherited?
The control center of a cell, holds the chromosomes
What is the nucleus?
The trait that if shown will show up.
What is dominant?

What is BB, Bb, and bb?
When a sperm and egg cell unite, requires 2 organisms
What is sexual reproduction?
A genetic diagram
What is a Punnet square?
Fills up the cell, final thing to split during mitosis
What is cytoplasm?
The trait that is covered by the dominant trait.
What is recessive?

What is Ff, Ff?
When a parent makes an exact copy of itself, requires 1 organism
What is asexual reproduction?
A molecule that contains genes on chromosomes
What is DNA?
Contain DNA, inside of nucleus
What is chromosome?
When the two alleles are different
What is heterozygous?

What is 0%
Genetic information being passed down from one generation to another
What is heredity?
A specific sequence of DNA that determines one or more traits.
What is a gene?
The type of cell that splits in mitosis
What is the parent cell?
When the two alleles are the same.
What is homozygous?
A set of dog parents have two daughter puppies and two son puppies. Based on the dog parent’s genes,which puppies have straight fur? (Mom dog homozygous dominant for straight fur and dad dog has homozygous recessive for curly hair, use H as genotype letter)
What is all of the puppies?
A certain part in a line of descendants from 2 parents
What is generation?
An attribute
What is an characteristic
The type of cell that is formed as a result of mitosis
What is the daughter cell?
A version of a gene
What is an allele?
If a reindeer is heterozygous for black nose and mates with a reindeer homozygous dominant for black nose, what are the chances that the offspring will have black noses instead of red?
What is 100 percent chance?
