The organisms physical appearance
What is Phenotype?
This type of reproduction is done with only 1 parent
What is asexual reproduction?
When crossing a "BB" mother with a "Bb" father, what percent probability for the recessive phenotype will the offspring have?
What is 0%?
Both asexually and sexually reproducing organisms can produce offspring.
What is true?
they are considered the father of modern genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
An organism possesses two dominant alleles for the same trait.
What is homozygous Dominant?
This type of reproduction is vulnerable to the same stressors.
What is asexual reproduction?
When crossing a heterozygous father with a heterozygous mother, what percent probability for the recessive phenotype will the offspring have?
What is 25%
Organisms from asexual reproduction have less or little genetic variation
What is true?
This is the plant that Mendel studied.
What is pea plants?
When new individuals split off from existing ones.
What is budding?
This type of reproduction takes much longer and uses more energy.
What is Sexual Reproduction?
When crossing a homozygous dominant father with a homozygous recessive mother, what percent probability for the dominant phenotype will the offspring have?
What is 100%?
Genetics are long threadlike structures found in the nucleus of the cell for ALL living organisms.
When both alleles contribute to an organism
What is codominance?
A cutting from a plant, such as a stem, is taken from the parent plant and grows into an identical plant
What is Regeneration?
This type of reproduction creates a higher genetic diversity, and increases chances of living.
What is sexual reproduction?
When crossing a "rr" father with a "Rr" mother, what percent probability for the recessive phenotype will the offspring have?
What is 50%?
Probability is the likelihood that a particular event will occur.
What is true?
These are a four bases that make up DNA
What is Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.
A cell that does not contain a nucleus divides into two genetically identical cells.
What is Binary Fission?
This type of reproduction is done only with single celled organisms that lack a nucleus.
What is binary Fission?
When crossing a homozygous recessive father with a heterozygous mother, what percent probability for the dominant phenotype will the offspring have?
What is 50%?
Deoxyribonucleic Acid is a complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes.
What is true?
This is the organelle that makes plants green.
