Types of Inheritance
The process by which an offspring receives genes from its parents
Inheritance
What are the reproductive structures in gymnosperms?
Cones
What type of plant are angiosperms?
Flowers
Which type of reproduction has greater genetic variation?
Sexual reproduction
Is the ability to speak an acquired or learned trait?
Acquired trait
Which type of inheritance is when traits from both parents show in the offspring?
Codominance
Which cone starts with the pollen?
Male cone
What is the male reproductive part of an angiosperm?
Stamen (aka pollen dusters)
Asexual reproduction
No, environmental is never passed down
Which type of inheritance is a mixing of color or size?
Incomplete dominance
Which cone is sticky to accept the pollen?
Female cone
What is the female reproductive part of an angiosperm?
Pistil (sticky stigma)
True or False: Plants only use sexual reproduction
False: They mainly use sexual but some also use asexual reproduction
List 3 types of pollinators
Bees, hummingbirds, bats, butterflies, etc.
If mom has the recessive trait for no freckles, and dad has the dominant trait for freckles, what will the offspring look like?
Offspring will have freckles (dominant trait always shows)
To allow the seeds to mature
Wind, water, animals
What do we call the helpers that allow plants to reproduce?
Pollinators
When the embryo sprouts out of the seed
Germination
which 2 types of inheritance give us the most variation?
Polygenic and Multiple alleles
What types of plants are gymnosperms
pines, redwoods, firs, cedars, hemlocks
True or False: angiosperms can reproduce by taking a plant's pollen and putting it on the same plant's stigma
False: has to use 2 different plants
What attracts pollinators to a plant?
Color and Scent
Looking ahead into lesson 3:
True or False: all parents invest into their offspring
False: some parents leave their young immediately after they are born, others stay to take care of them
