100
Type of reproduction that requires only 1 parent

Asexual

100

Reproduction of a single cell by dividing into two parts.

Binary Fission 

100

A gene editing tool that can add, remove, or alter DNA. 

CRISPR

On a punnet square, capital letters represent what? 

Dominant traits. 

100

Three tigers have different parents.  They all have the same protein for stripe pattern in their cells.  What can you say about the tiger's stripe patterns?  

They will have the same stripe patterns since their proteins for stripe patterns are the same so the proteins will connect the same way. 

200

Type of reproduction that mixes DNA to create a unique offspring

Sexual Reproduction 

200

Growth or bud forms on the parent and breaks off when big enough. 

Budding

200

A change in a DNA sequence. 

Mutation 

200

Squares represent males, and circles represent females. Based on the chart, who is mostly affected by this trait? 


Males

Two goldfish have different parents. One fish has a split tail and the other does not. Why do the goldfish have tails with different shapes? 

The goldfish have different versions of the gene for tail shape, which instruct for different proteins that connect in different ways to make different tail shapes.  

300
Produces an exact copy of the parent

Asexual

300

Reproduction found in plants where new plants are formed without the production of seeds. Some plants can produce little plantlets or some grow new plants out of runners. 

Vegetative propagation 

300

A molecule that codes for proteins and creates genes. 

DNA

300

Pedigree charts show how genetic mutations and traits are passed down from different ____________ in a family.  

Generations

300

A young goat has down-ward curved horns. Its father has upward curved horns while its mother has downward curved horns.  Why does the young goat have downward-curved horns? 

The young goat inherited its copies of the genes for horn shape from its mother and not from its father. Those genes connect together to make its downward-curved horns. 

400

Creates genetic variation in a species, which can increase the odds of surviving in a change in environment. 

Sexual Reproduction 

400

Reproduction where a new organism grows from a fragment or piece of the parent.

Fragmentation 

400

The process of altering or changing DNA

Genetic Modification or Genetic Engineering 
400
Punnet squares model an individuals chances of inheriting a trait due to _____________ reproduction. 

Sexual

400

Two rabbits have different parents.  One rabbit has ears that flop over, and the other rabbit has ears that stand straight up.  Why do rabbits have ears with different shapes? 

Different versions of the trait, which instruct different proteins that make different ear shapes. 

500

Is much quicker and produces many offsprings. 

Asexual Reproduction 

500

An unfertilized egg develops into a new individual.

Parthenogenesis 

500

Name 2 neutral mutations. 

Attached or detached earlobes, color blindness, two different eye colors. 

500

What is the probability of having (B) brown hair?


50%

500

A father- curly wool

Mother- Straight wool

What happened to the offspring? 

Lamb received one gene from mom and one from dad, the combination could make the lamb have either type of wool.
