how a trait appears or is expressed.
phenotype
a section of DNA on a chromosome that has genetic information for one trait.
gene
a model that shows genetic traits that were inherited by members on a family.
pedigree
type of reproduction where the genetic material from two different cells combine, producing an offspring.
sexual reproduction
the passing of traits from parents to offspring.
heredity
a different form of a gene.
allele
a type of asexual reproduction that occurs when an offspring grows from a piece of its parent.
regeneration
the way an organism reacts to other organisms or to its environment.
behavior
the study of how traits are passed from parents to offspring.
genetics
the alleles of all the genes on an organism’s chromosomes; controls an organism's phenotype.
genotype
a form of asexual reproduction in which offspring grow from a part of a parent plant.
vegetative reproduction
the process that occurs when pollen grains land on a female reproductive structure of a plant that is the same species as the pollen grains.
pollination
a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor.
dominant
a genotype in which the two alleles of a gene are the same.
homozygous
a type of reproduction in which only one parent organism or part of that organism produces a new organism.
asexual reproduction
the growth of a plant toward or away from light.
phototropism
a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant factor.
recessive
a genotype in which the two alleles of a gene are different.
heterozygous
a form of asexual reproduction where an organism grows on the body of its parent.
budding
the response of a plant to touch.
thigmotropism
