Dominate and Recessive
This type of gene "hides" in the presence of a dominant gene.
What is a recessive gene?
Traits are inherited from this many parents in sexually reproducing organisms.
What is two?
The process by which traits are passed from parents to offspring is called this.
What is heredity?
This type of reproduction involves only one parent and produces genetically identical offspring.
What is asexual reproduction?
This type of selection occurs when breeders choose specific animals to mate in order to produce offspring with certain traits.
What is artificial selection?
In a cross between a yellow-seeded pea plant and a green-seeded pea plant, if all offspring are yellow-seeded, the yellow-seeded trait is this.
What is dominant?
Genes are passed down from both parents. This process of passing traits to offspring is called this.
What is heredity?
This term describes a feature or characteristic, such as eye color, that is passed from parents to offspring.
What is a trait?
In sexual reproduction, offspring are genetically unique because they inherit traits from these sources.
What are both parents?
In the wild, traits that help an organism survive are passed down in this process, also known as "survival of the fittest."
What is natural selection?
This type of square is used to predict the possible genetic outcomes for offspring from two parents.
What is a Punnett square?
This structure is made up of DNA and contains many genes.
What is a chromosome?
This is a section of DNA that controls a specific trait, such as flower color in plants
What is a gene?
This type of reproduction creates genetically identical offspring, like flatworms and certain plants
What is asexual reproduction?
Breeding hypoallergenic animals to reduce allergens is an example of this kind of selection.
Answer: What is artificial selection?
Answer: What is artificial selection?
In a cross between two heterozygous brown mice (Bb x Bb), the percentage of offspring likely to have tan fur is this.
What is 25%?
Which of the following statements best describes heredity in organisms that reproduce sexually?
What is they produce offspring with mixed traits with each parent.
This term refers to an organism’s genetic makeup or combination of alleles, such as Bb or bb.
What is genotype?
Because some bacteria reproduce this way, each offspring receives half its genetic information from each parent, making them unique.
What is sexual reproduction?
Biotechnology often involves selective breeding, but differences in plant size, like one tomato being larger than another, could also result from this.
What are environmental factors?
This molecule contains the instructions for all traits and is organized into genes on chromosomes.
What is DNA?
