What is Homozygous Dominant?
The physical characteristics of an organism.
What is Phenotype?
Fill in the missing information for the punnett square
Bb or bb
A reproductive process that involves one parent and produces offspring that are identical to the parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
Produce more offspring quickly.
What is advantage of Asexual reproduction?
What is Homozygous Recessive?
This type of organism has two identical alleles for a trait.
What is homozygous?
Spotted fur (S) is dominant over white fur (s) in Dalmations. If both parents are heterozygous for spots, these are the expected genotypes for their offspring.
What is SS and Ss (spotted fur) and ss (white fur)?
A reproductive process that involves two parents that combine their genetic material to produce a new organism.
What is sexual reproduction?
Does not require a mate (only one parent)
What is advantage of asexual reproduction?
Bb
What is Heterozygous?
The genes/alleles for a trait
What is genotype?
Green (g) fish are recessive to Purple fish (G). If a heterozygous fish and a homozygous dominant fish breed, this is the expected genotypes
What is GG and Gg?
This reproductive process creates genetic variation (diversity)
What is sexual reproduction?
Genetic variation present in offspring
What is advantage of sexual reproduction?
An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present.
What is a recessive allele?
An allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when it is present.
What is dominant allele?
Sexual reproduction results in greater genetic variation due to this.
What is two parents each passing on half of their genetic information?
Requires more time and energy.
What is disadvantage of sexual reproduction?
This organism has two different alleles for a trait.
What is heterozygous?
The process by which genetic information is passed from parent to child.
What is inheritance?
Squidward’s sons who are heterozygous for light blue body color married a girl that is also heterozygous. Create a Punnett square using the letter B to show the possibilities that would result if they had children?
3 out of 4 with light blue skin = 75%
1 out of 4 with light green skin = 25%
Name 3 ways asexual reproduction is different from sexual reproduction
No genetic variation vs a lot of genetic variation
1 parent vs 2 parents
Offspring identical vs offspring different from parents
Greater chance of survival when faced with environmental changes.
What is advantage of sexual reproduction? OR what is disadvantage of asexual reproduction?
