Reproduction
Name the main differences between sexual and asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction does not require a mate and utilizes the process of Mitosis .
You are not born with these, but instead learn then during your life time.
Acquired Traits
If you have a homozygous recessive parent and a homozygous dominant parent, what is the probability that the offspring will have a heterozygous genotype?
100% Probability
the genetic makeup of an organism.
Genotype
Pairs of thread-like molecules, which live in the cell’s nucleus, and carries heredity information are called__________________.
Chromosomes
What process is used in asexual reproduction?
Mitosis
These are passed down from the parent to the offspring
Inherited traits
What is the probability of a child having blue eyes if their parents are both heterozygous. (Brown being dominant)
25%
the appearance of an organism based on its genotype, plus environmental factors
phenotype
Which is not an advantage for asexual reproduction?
Less genetic variation
List positives for asexual reproduction.
Good for less mobile organisms, takes less energy, occurs quickly and produces multiple
What is a mutation?
A change in the sequence of DNA
If you have a heterozygous mom and homozygous dominant parent, what is the probability that the offspring will display any recessive traits?
0%
The transfer of traits from one generation to another generation.
heredity
Sexual reproduction involves which type of cell division?
Both Types
How many daughter cells does mitosis produce?
2
Where can you find a gene?
on a specific segment on DNA
List the possible genotypes of offspring between 2 heterozygous parents.
:Homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, heterozygous
carries two copies of the same dominant allele (BB)
homozygous dominant
Fully grown parent cells split into two halves resulting in two daughter cells with the exact DNA as the parent.
Binary Fisson
How many diploid cells does mitosis create?
4
If you have a heterozygous offspring, what trait will show? Dominant or Recessive?
Dominate
2 plants are crossbred and have 50% offspring with purple petals and 50% offspring blue petals. Assuming that blue is dominant, what are the genotypes of the parents?
Heterozygous
A stretch of DNA on a chromosome with instructions for one trait.
Genes
Changes in an organism that affect its appearance, how it behaves, and its functions.
