When someone says that a daughter looks just like her mother, is it possible that the daughter is an exact copy of her mother?

• No, because a daughter gets all of her alleles from her father.

• Yes, because a daughter gets alleles from her mother.

• No, because a daughter receives half of her genetic make up from her father.

• Yes, because humans can practice asexual reproduction under certain circumstances.

Inherited trait

• A characteristic that is passed from parent to offspring

• A single, highly organized and structured piece of DNA

• Different forms or versions of something

• The reproductive process involving two parents whose genetic material is combined to produce a new organism different from themselves

Why does sexual reproduction produce diverse offspring?

• The cells of the offspring lack DNA.

• The offspring all grow at different rates.

• The offspring have a unique combination of DNA from its parents.

• The offspring are spores.

Two red flowers produce a white flower as an offspring. Which of the following best explains how this is possible?

• It is a mistake.

• A mutation occurred.

• The parents were heterozygous, and the white flower is the expression of the recessive alleles.

• White flowers are an adaptation to help with survival.
