Reproduction: Sexual or Asexual
This type of reproduction requires two parent organisms
Sexual reproduction
A chart to look at the possible allele combinations of offspring from two parent organisms
Punnett square
The product of reproduction, a new organism produced by one or two parents
This type of reproduction requires only one parent
Asexual reproduction
How many possibilities are generated in a punnett square to predict the genotype of an offspring?
4
A highly structured and organized piece made up of DNA, located in the nucleus
Chromosome
The offspring are genetically identical to the parent
Asexual
In guinea pigs, short hair is dominant (H) and long hair is recessive (h). One parent has a genotype of HH and the other parent has a genotype of Hh, what will the phenotype be of the offspring?
Short hair
The basic physical and functional unit of heredity that controls a specific trait
Gene
Siblings may look similar, but not exact copies due to _______ in their genes,
Variation
In an organism that reproduces sexually, the dominant trait is brown eyes (B) and the recessive trait is blue eyes (b). One parent has a genotype of BB and the other parent has a genotype of bb. What is the percent chance that the offspring will have brown eyes?
100%
The different versions of a gene
Allele
Name two types of asexual reproduction
budding, binary fission, vegetative propagation, regeneration
In rabbits, black fur is dominant to white fur. If a Bb male reproduced with a Bb female, what is the percent chance the offspring will have white fur?
25%
_____ _______ is the occurrence of a trait in more than one form within a species
Genetic variation
