If a person has one dominant allele for a trait (e.g., A) and one recessive allele (e.g., a), what is their genotype?
heterozygous Aa
hat is the term for the process in which organisms with traits better suited to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully?
Natural Selection
Name two limitations to Evolution theory:

What is the term for structures in different species that have the same origin but may have different functions, such as the human arm and the bat wing?
Homologous Structures
Dog breeds such as pugs were bred through (define term) State an issue that rises from this.
Artificial Selection, pugs have health issues
State the full name (with Correct Spelling) for DNA
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
What is the term for an individual who carries one allele for a recessive genetic condition but does not express the condition?
Carrier
Genes that are both expressed and seen in offspring are said to be:
Codominant
What is the term for the process in which different species evolve similar traits independently due to similar environmental pressures, even though they do not share a recent common ancestor?
Convergent Evolution
Why should you not complete online ancestral DNA tracing for non medical purposes?
Data is leaked, genetic discrimination for health insurance, inaccuracy
What is the term for the process by which DNA makes an identical copy of itself before cell division, and the process by which somatic cells divide?
DNA Replication, Mitosis
What is the term for the physical exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis?
Crossing Over
What is the name of the process that produces gametes (sperm and egg) in humans and other sexually reproducing organisms?
Meiosis
What is the concept in evolutionary theory that explains how new genetic variations arise in a population, potentially leading to new traits and adaptations?
Mutations
state the process of corn becoming sweeter in modern day
Artificial selection: 1 parents with sweetest kernels chosen, 2 bred together, 3 offspring plants with sweetest taste replanted and rebred, 4 process repeated over many generations until desired characteristic achieved
