Reproduction
this type of reproduction gives the advantage of a lot of offspring in a short time
asexual reproduction
The father of genetics
Gregor Mendel
Genes that show up in the offspring even if one of your parents pass it on to you are known as
dominant
being able to survive and reproduce describes the concept of
survival of the fittest
organisms often have more _____________ than will survive
offspring
this type of reproduction allows for variation within the offspring
sexual reproduction
the physical characteristic of a gene is known as
phenotype
Shaded square on a pedigree means
male with a trait
Something that can be inherited through genetic characteristics... means that everyone is different!
Variation
When organisms try to get their fair share of a limited amount of resources.

asexual reproduction
genotype

The process whereby organisms that have advantages survive and pass their genes onto their offspring.

asexual and sexual
Purebred can also be described as having what type of genes
homozygous
empty circle on a pedigree means
female without the trait
A group of genetically similar organisms that can mate and produce fertile offspring.
species
The random appearance of a new trait in an organism.
mutation
homeostasis allows a species to adapt and survive to the environment. this is most likely to happen in species that are the result of which type of reproduction?
sexual reproduction
hybrid can also be described as having what type of genes
heterozygous

The climate of a certain area is cold, and snow is found on the ground most of the year. Equal numbers of two populations of rabbits are introduced into this climate by a group of scientists. One of the populations is brown and the other is white. Over several generations, what will happen.
more white rabbits will survive
name of the scientist that came up with the theory of natural selection
