Two brown-eyed parents can produce a child with blue eyes. Which of the following best explains how this is possible?

The genes passed on by the parents can combine in a new way in the child.

Blue eyes are an adaptation that can help the survival of humans.

Over many generations some characteristics become more frequent.

Eye color is always a mixture of the traits of both parents.

A complete Punnett square here shows a cross between two mice with different fur color, agouti (A) and black (a). This Punnett square can be used to make which of the following conclusions?

The trait of agouti fur is dominant over the trait of black fur.

Two agouti mice can't produce offspring with black fur.

Eventually, all the mice that descend from this pair will have black fur.

The trait of agouti fur is an advantage to mice for avoiding predators.

The diet and habitat requirements for each individual organism.

Which of the following is true? Any individual offspring produced through asexual reproduction is always:

genetically identical to its parent.

made up of cells with a cell wall.

different from all of its siblings.

Which of the following is true? If an offspring is produced through sexual reproduction, the offspring's genetic material is always:
