According to Darwin and his theory of natural selection, what individuals are considered to be most fit?

What is the scientific word used for "children" in a Punnett Square?
What is "offspring"

What does a cross that ends with a Phenotypic ratio of 100% Red mean? R = red r = white
What is the dominant allele "R" would be in every offspring box of the punnett square
300
What word means "The set of information that controls a trait; a segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait"
What is a gene
300
What word is defined as "The different forms of a gene."

What is incomplete dominance
400
What is the word that means "an organism has two different alleles for the same trait"
What is heterozygous
400
The human appendix is an example of what type of structure?

400
If a man with blood type B marries and has children with a woman with blood type AB, what blood type might their offspring have?

500
What is "An organism’s genetic make-up or allele combinations."
What is genotype
500
What is "An organism’s physical appearance or visible traits."?
What is phenotype
500
What are the 3 types of adaptations found in organisms?
What are structural, behavioral, and physiological
500
Can you know a person's genotype if they are dominant in their phenotype?
What is no because they could be homozygous dominant or heterozygous
500
Why is colorblindness more common in males than in females?
What is because males possess only 1 x chromosome, so the recessive allele will always be displayed in the phenotype if present on their x chromosome, where as females need the allele on both of their x chromosomes to display the trait.
