Inheritance
The study of how traits are passed from parents to offspring.
Genetics
The genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor.
Dominant trait
This type of reproduction requires both a male & female.
sexual reproduction
Animals engage in various behaviors to find a mate. This is called___
courtship behavior
True or false: some plants can reproduce both sexually & asexually
True
A section on a chromosome that has genetic information.
gene
The genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of another genetic factor.
recessive trait
This type of reproduction requires only 1 parent organism.
Asexual Reproduction
This is a behavior that an animal is born knowing how to do
Innate behavior
This occurs when pollen grains land on a female plant structure of the same species.
pollination
Different forms of a gene (ie blue eyes vs brown eyes)
allele
You would use this to predict possible outcomes of the offspring genotype & phenotype
Punnett Square
This type of reproduction produces offspring that is genetically identical to the parent.
Asexual reproduction
This is behavior that develops through experience or practice
learned behavior
True or false: the male plant structure is called the pistil
False
How a trait appears
phenotype
A scientist crosses two hybrid plants with yellow pea seeds (Yy). Yellow seeds are dominant & green seeds are recessive.
How many of the 4 predicted offspring will be yellow?
3 of the 4
This type of reproduction produces offspring that is genetically different from the parents
Sexual Reproduction
Name one behavior an animal might do to protect it's offspring
teacher will determine if answer given is correct
The growth of a plant toward or away from light
phototropism
Two alleles of a gene is a trait's __________
genotype
A scientist crosses two hybrid plants with yellow pea seeds (Yy). Yellow seeds are dominant & green seeds are recessive.
How many of the 4 predicted offspring will be green?
1 of the 4
Which one is NOT Asexual reproduction:
regeneration, vegetative reproduction, pollination, budding
pollination
teacher will determine if answer is correct
Seeds can spread three ways: wind, water or by animal. Pick two of these ways and describe the type seed that matches the description
wind=lightweight, parachute or propeller shape
water=able to float, fibrous husk
animal=able to attach or be eaten
