This is the type of reproduction involving gametes and requiring two parents
What is sexual reproduction?
100
This is one form of a trait
What is an allele?
100
This is an observable trait
What is a phenotype?
100

This is a diagram that shows the different possible combinations of alleles and the probability that each combination will occur?

Insects have this many legs
What is 6?
200
Both of these are gametes
What are egg and sperm?
200
This is the genotype of a hybrid
What is one capital and one lowercase letter?
200
This is the exact genetic makeup of an individual, usually symbolized by two letters
What is a genotype?
200
This is when the egg meets the sperm to create one cell
What is fertilization?
200
This is a group of individuals from one species living in a certain place
What is a population?
300
This is how much genetic material a gamete contains, compared to a body cell
What is half?
300
This is the genotype of a heterozygous individual
What is one capital and one lowercase letter?
300
This is how we typically represent a recessive allele
What is a lowercase letter?
300
This is the cell that is created through fertilization
What is a zygote?
300
This is a possible source of energy that can be replenished in a reasonable amount of time
What is a renewable resource?
400
This is the process that leads to the formation of gametes
What is meiosis?
400
This is the phenotype of a heterozygous individual
What is dominant?
400
This is the amount of genetic material you get from each parent
What is half?
400
This is a group of genetically similar organisms who can reproduce with each other and produce fertile offspring
What is a species?
400
DAILY DOUBLE!


In "The Bathtub" episode of Stranger Things, the students test the water by using an egg.  They are testing this property of the water

What is density?
500
This is the greatest advantage of sexual reproduction
What is genetic variation?
500
A homozygous dominant individual could never have this type of offspring
What is recessive or homozygous recessive?
500
True or false ... dominant genes are better than recessive genes
What is false?
500
This is one purpose of mitosis
What is growth (other possible answers exist)
500
This is the force, based on mass and distance between objects, that holds the solar system together
What is gravity?
