On your paper, cross a Homozygous tall (T) and a homozygous short (t). What percentage is heterozygous?
100%
A trait that will always show up as long as one allele is present.
Dominant trait
When two alleles or genes are the same
Homozygous
If an offspring was a product of asexual reproduction, would it be the exact same or different from the parent?
Exact same
Which of the following best explains the difference between the terms “genetics” and “heredity”?
A: Genetics is the study of recessive traits; heredity is the study of dominant traits.
B: Genetics is the study of dominant traits; heredity is the study of recessive traits.
C: Genetics is the study of genes; heredity is the study of how genes are transferred from one generation to the next.
D:Genetics is the study of how genes are transferred from one generation to the next, heredity is the study of genes.

On your paper, cross two heterozygous tall plants (Tt). What plant is half of the offspring?
Heterozygous
Lucky
Free
When two alleles or genes are different
Heterozygous?
Give an advantage of asexual reproduction
An organism inherits its genetic instructions from the —
Parents
Lucky
Free
This type of reproduction creates offspring that are genetically diverse.
Sexual reproduction
What is the only way that the recessive gene will be shown?
homozygous recessive
What is an advantage of offspring produced from sexual reproduction?
Offspring have more diversity
Offspring get more advantageous traits
Which student did the best job of defining the word “heredity”?
Kendall – Heredity is the study of chromosomes and the genes that they contain.
Carla – Heredity is the passing of genetic information contained in chromosomes from one generation to the next.
Joseph – Heredity is the study of human characteristics passed down from parent to offspring.
Devon – Heredity is the reason that tall parents will usually have tall children.
Carla – Heredity is the passing of genetic information contained in chromosomes from one generation to the next.
