Sexual Asexual Example For Students

Sexual Asexual Question Answer The study of how traits are studied Genetics Structures in a cells nucleus that are made of DNA (the genetic material). Chromosomes A distinguishing characteristic or quality; eye color, face shape. Traits The passing of traits from parents to offspring. Heredity A type of reproduction (regeneration, budding, binary fission, vegetative propagation) in which a new organism is produced by 1 PARENT!! with identical DNA to the parent. Asexual Reproduction A type of asexual reproduction that produces a bud that breaks away from the organism to live in its own Budding A type of asexual reproduction, uses cell division to regrow body parts. Regeneration An organism spitting, making 2 identical organisms. Binary Fission The ability of plants to reproduce by producing new plants from existing vegetative structures. Vegetative Propagation Children or young of a particular parent descendent. Offspring A type of reproduction in which 2 PARENTS!! form a unique offspring (offspring is diverse) Sexual Reproduction 2 Alleles in a gene pair are the SAME!! for a particular trait(EX: rr or RR) (can also be clarified as purebreds) Homozygous 2 Alleles in a gene pair are DIFFERENT!! for a particular trait.(EX: Rr) ( can also be clarified as hybrids) Heterozygous Describes a trait that is often covered up, is only seen when both alleles in a gene pair are recessive.(EX: lowercase r) Recessive Describes a trait that is always seen anytime it is present in a gene pair. (EX: uppercase R) Dominant An organisms genetic makeup, or alleles for a trait. Genotype Physical appearance behavior of an organism because of the genes it has. Phenotype Another name for heterozygous, alleles for a trait that are different. Hybrid Another name for homozygous, alleles for a trait are the same. Purebred A tool used to predict probability of certain traits in offspring. Punnet Square
