NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Traits that are not passed down from parents to offspring and are obtained through learned situations and experiences

• acquired traits

• asexual

• sexual

• inherited traits

Another term for selective breeding that involves human intervention to create organisms with desirable traits

• artificial selection

• asexual

• sexual

• inherited traits

When we select two organisms with desired traits as parents of the next generation, is what:

• Genetic Engineering

• Selective Breeding

• Natural Selection

The ability to alter the DNA of an organism in order to get desired traits, is an example of:

• Selective Breeding

• Genetic Engineering

• Natural Selection

A segment or a piece of DNA is known as a

• trait

• gene

• cell

• atom

This is located in a cells nucleus and has DNA and genes inside of it.

• Alleles

• chromosomes

• homozygous

• heterozygous
