What is an inherited traits?
The transfer of traits from one generation to another generation
What is a cell
A cell is the basic building blocks of all living things
What is Genetics?
The study of heredity, which is a biological process where a parent passes certain genes onto their offspring
What is mutations?
A change that occurs in the DNA sequence
What is a homozygous dominant?
Carries two copies of the same dominant allele
What is a dominant traits?
Traits that hide other traits when passed onto offspring
What is Asexual reproduction?
Type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism
What is a Genotype?
The genetic makeup of an organism
What is meiosis?
A type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells
What is a homozygous recessive?
Carries two copies of the same recessive allele
What is a recessive traits?
Traits that get hidden by dominant traits
What is mitosis?
Type of cell division
What is a Phenotype?
The appearance of an organism based on its genotype,plus environmental factors
What is mitosis?
Type of cell division
What is a heterozygous?
Carries two different alleles
What is a nucleus?
A small egged-shaped structure inside the cell
What is Fragmentation?
The body of the parent breaks into distinct pieces
What is a dominant alleles?
Shows their effect with only one copy of the allele
What is regeneration?
If a piece of a parent is detached,it can grow and develop into a completely new offspring
What is Buddings?
Offspring grows out of the body of the parent
What is a chromosomes?
Thread-like structures found in the nucleus of a cell that contains all DNA
What is sexual reproduction?
Type of reproduction by which offspring arise from two parents
What is a recessive alleles?
Shows their effect with two copies of the allele
What is vegetative reproduction?
A process by which new organisms arise without production of seeds or spores
What is Binary fission?
Common in prokaryotes
