Give an example of a specific organism that reproduces asexually.
What is Hydra, Potato, Strawberry, or etc...?
A Blue Heeler (BB) and a Red Heeler (bb) have offspring.
Which parent is homozygous?

Which Disney princess was originally intended to be a villain?
Who is Elsa?
Describe the structure of DNA.
What is a double helix or twisted ladder?
Which type of reproduction will give a population the best chance of survival? Explain...
What is sexual because of the genetic variation of the offspring. The more diversity the more likely the population is to survive and even thrive.
Double Jeopardy
A Blue Heeler (BB) and a Red Heeler (bb) have offspring.
How many offspring will be blue or red?
100% Blue
0% Red
What is selective breeding, and what is an organism humans have selectively breed?
Selective breeding is where humans choose a plant or animal to bred based on their traits or characteristics.
An Example is Dogs.
Which famous musician released the song “24K Magic” in 2016?

Which chromosomes determine if you are male or female? What type would a person need to be male or female?
What is the 23rd pair of chromosomes and XX female/XY male?
Double Jeopardy
A biologist has a saltwater tank with purple starfish. He wishes to have a variety of colored starfish. What should the biologist do?
He should have the purple starfish reproduce with another colored starfish. The offspring should exhibit different colors.
What is the difference between codominance and incomplete dominance?
Codominance- Both alleles are dominant, and the traits of both show up.
Incomplete Dominance- A lack of dominance between the two alleles creates a new phenotype.
Describe how humans could selectively breed great danes to make them larger.
They would take the largest offspring and breed them with other large great danes. They would continue this process until they reached the desired size.
In what year was YouTube created?
Double Jeopardy
How many total chromosomes do you have and how many do you receive from your parents?
What is 23 chromosomes from your mother and 23 chromosomes from your father for a total of 46 chromosomes.
The advantages/disadvantages of sexual and asexual reproduction.
Asexual Reproduction
Positive- Doesn't require special cells or a lot of energy, and it produces offspring quickly.
Negative- Doesn't produce a lot of variation in offspring, and they can't adapt.
Sexual Reproduction
Positive- Has a lot of variety in offspring, and they can adapt to their environment.
Negative- A lot of time and energy is needed, and offspring cannot be produced quickly.
A Blue Heeler (BB) and a Red Heeler (bb) have offspring. Two of the offspring reproduce. What are the genotypes of their offspring?
What is
BB
Bb
Bb

What are GMO's? What does GMO stand for? Identify a specific example of a GMO and the purpose behind it.
Genetically Modified Organisms are living things that contain DNA that has been altered using genetic engineering. Genetic engineering typically changes an organism in a way that would not occur naturally. It is even common for scientists to insert genes into an organism from an entirely different organism.
I'll judge the example and purpose...
