How It's Made
An advantage of this kind of reproduction is that it only requires one parent.
What is Asexual Reproduction?
A form of cell division that results in two, diploid daughter cells.
This type of trait will always be expressed when it is present.
What is a dominant trait?
A trait that is learned in order to adapt to the immediate environment.
What is an Acquired Trait?
A form of reproduction -natural and artificial- where the offspring is genetically identical to the parent organism.
What is cloning?
The process of regrowth after fragmentation.
What is Regeneration?
This is the phase in mitosis in which the cell elongates and the spindle fibers pull individual chromatids toward the poles of the cell.
What is Anaphase?
A trait that is only expressed when two like alleles are present.
What is a recessive trait?
Brown hair would be an example of this kind of trait.
What is an Inherited Trait?
This form of artificial selection involves selecting two parents with desirable traits in order to increase the likelihood of producing offspring with those traits.
What is Selective Breeding?
An advantage of this kind of reproduction is genetic variation.
What is sexual reproduction?
This process is unique to Prophase I.
An organism with one dominant allele and one recessive allele.
What is Heterozygous?
A trait that is determined by your genes.
What is an Inherited Trait?
This is a kind of genetic modification conducted in a lab.
What is a GMO?
The division of a unicellular organism, allowing said organism to reproduce.
What is Binary Fission?
Homologous chromosomes are pulled toward the poles of the cell by spindle fibers.
What is Anaphase I?
The percent chance of an offspring expressing a dominant trait when one parent has alleles Xx and the other has xx.
What is 50% chance?
It determines your inherited traits and is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
What is a gene?
This form of Artificial Selection involves taking two dissimilar organisms and breeding them for desired traits.
What is hybridization?
This form of asexual reproduction that takes place in a gamete without another gamete.
What is Parthenogenesis?
In two cells, sister chromatids line up as the centrioles move toward the poles of the cells.
What is Prophase II?
What is 0% chance?
This is a molecule with instructions for all living things.
What is DNA?
This is a term that describes most forms of Genetic Modification.
What is Artificial Selection?
