Inheritance of traits and variation
This is the word for individuals that pass traits directly down to their offspring.
What are parents?
Genetic engineering and selective breeding are similar because in both, humans do this.
What is choose desirable traits?
Vegetative propagation is when a piece of a parent plant is cut off and grows into its own plant. This is an example of ____ reproduction.
What is asexual reproduction?
This is an event that prompts natural selection to occur.
What is a change in environment?
This is the practice of producing crops and raising livestock. (Hint, Unit 3 title)
What is agriculture?
Even if only one copy of this type of allele is present, the trait will be expressed.
What is a dominant allele?
This technology to influence the traits in an organism is heavily regulated.
What is genetic engineering?
"Offspring that are identical to the parent" is the result of this type of reproduction.
What is asexual reproduction?
This is needed in order for a population to adapt in natural selection.
What is genetic variation?
A group of individuals of the same species living together and sharing resources is often referred to as this word.
What is a population?
This is a term that refers to the differences in traits that are seen amongst individuals in a population.
What is genetic variation?
This technology to influence the traits of an organism has been practiced over thousands of years.
What is selective breeding?
This type of reproduction takes longer and requires more energy.
What is sexual reproduction?
In the Battle of the Beaks experiment, ________ traits allowed one type of bird to survive over others.
What are favorable traits?
This genotype refers to when two of the same allele produce a trait that can only be expressed when both alleles are this type.
What is homozygous recessive?
What is genetic engineering?
What is sexual reproduction?
Natural selection is a mechanism of ______.
What is evolution?
This is the one exception where offspring gets a trait that wasn't passed down from a parent.
What is a mutation?
Along with genetics, these factor also affects the traits of an organism.
What are environmental factors?
This could be a concern when considered genetic engineering.
What is a risk to the environment/organisms OR unknown/potential risks to humans
This tool is used to determine the probability of offspring inheriting traits in sexual reproduction.
What is a Punnett square?
This is the correct order of the following steps of natural selection
1. Adaptation results in higher breeding success
2. Individual has a mutation
3. Adaptive trait spreads through the population
4. Affected trait is favored in an environment, considered an adaptation.
2, 4, 1, 3
CER stands for these key components of a scientific argument.
What are claim, evidence, and reasoning?
