Genotypes+Traits
True or False: The passing of traits from parents to offspring is called a Phenotype
What is False? It is actually heredity
The type of asexual reproduction that happens when an offspring grows from a piece of its parent
What is regeneration?
The way an organism reacts to other organisms or to its environment
What is Behavior?
True or False: Genetic Factors affect people only and Environmental Factors affect only animals
What is False? People can be affected by both genetic and environmental factors and animals can also be affected by both genetic and environmental factors
True or False: Plants can reproduce sexually but not asexually.
What is False? Plants can undergo both types of reproduction.
The father of genetics
What is Gregor Mendel?
True or False: Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism grows on the body of its parent
What is True?
Sound, light, chemicals and body language are forms of communication to do what
What is Attracting mates?
Genetic factors that affect growth are inherited from
What are the parents?
The female reproductive organ in a female
What is a pistil?
Definition of Gene
What is a section on a chromosome that has genetic information for one trait?
The advantages of asexual reproduction
What is allowing organisms to reproduce without a mate, saving time and energy, and enables some organisms to rapidly produce a large number of offspring?
True or False: Innate behavior is behavior that develops through experience or practice and Known behavior is behavior that is inherited rather than learned
What is False? Innate Behavior is behavior that is inherited rather than learned and Learned Behavior is behavior that develops through experience or practice. There is no such thing as Known Behavior.
True or False: Traits can be influenced both by genetics and by the environment
What is True? For example, weight
How seeds move or relocate
What is by wind, water or animals?
True or False: You can predict what an offspring will look like before it is born
What is True? You can use Punnett Squares
The advantages of sexual reproduction
What is genetic variation, offspring inheriting traits that may be an advantage if the environment changes and the offspring inheriting traits that enable them to survive unusually harsh conditions and diseases?
Examples of protecting offspring behavior
What is making nests to shelter offspring, herding, watching over offspring and circling young with their horns facing out to protect them from predators?
Pollination happens when this joins with the egg, and seeds develop.
What is pollen?
Definition of ’thigmotropism’
What is the response of a plant to touch?
The difference between heterozygous and homozygous
What is heterozygous being when two alleles of a gene are different and homozygous being when two alleles of a gene are the same?
A future possibility that can produce identical individuals from a cell or from a cluster of cells taken from a multicellular organisms
What is Cloning?
True or False: White Female Gypsy Moths release chemical substances called Androsterone Sulfate
What is False? It is called Pheromones
True or False: Plants can inherit genes from their parents that determine traits, such as what color flowers they will have and where on the plant the flowers will bloom
What is True?
True or False: ‘Phototropism’ is the way plants react to flashes or picture taking
What is False? It is the growth of a plant toward or away from light
