Genetics 2
100
Distinctive characteristics or features that make something different from anything else
What is variation?
100
Occurs when only one parent supplies genetic information to the offspring
What is asexual reproduction?
100

Having excellent leadership skills is an example of what type of trait?

What is a non-inherited trait? 

100

This type of reproduction has the disadvantage of low genetic diversity in a population. 

What is asexual reproduction? 

100
a cell first duplicates its contents, including its nucleus and other organelles. After the amoeba divides, each new cell has a copy of the genetic material, creating identical offspring.
What is binary fission?
200

A park composed of different species is called this.

What is a community?

200
Cutting from a parent stem to produce new plants that are exact copies
What is cloning?
200

When the species in an area divide a niche to avoid competition for resources. 

What is resource partitioning?

200

Chromosomes are located in this location in a cell. 

What is the nucleus? 

200
When two parents supply genetic material to the offspring
What is sexual reproduction?
300

Where in the world we find the most biological diversity

What is the equator?
300

when genetic characteristics have a limited number of possibilities. For example: eye colour

What is discrete variation?

300

Bees pollinate flowers. Flowers produce seeds from this and bees produce honey. This is an example of this kind of relationship between organisms?

What is mutualism? 

300
Cell division that produces somatic (body) cells. 

What is mitosis?

300

The joining of the male and female gametes.

What is a zygote?

400

the role or activity that is undertaken by an organism in an ecosystem. For example, an earthworm decomposes decaying organic matter and is eaten by birds. 

What is a niche?

400

Composed strands of DNA

What are chromosomes?

400

A person's height is an example of what type of variation?

What is a continuous variation? 

400

Describes a trait that can be passed down from parent to offspring. 

What is a heritable trait? 

400

Refers to a trait or allele that is hidden unless 2 copies are present on the DNA. 

What is a recessive trait?

500
An interaction between organisms of different species living in close proximity to each other in a relationship that lasts over time
What is a symbiotic relationship?
500

When an organism has 2 different alleles for a trait.

What is a hybrid?

500

The process by which certain traits are selected for in a specific environment and able to be passed onto an organism's offspring. For example, over time, giraffes benefit from longer necks, so the trait is passed on to their offspring. 

What is natural selection?

500

When a species is extinct only in a specific area. 

What is extirpation? 

500

In a Punnett square, these kinds of letters indicate a dominant trait. 

What are capital letters?
