Heredity

the process through which animals and plants produce offspring

The traits of an organism are passed to its offspring on small coded strands of DNA material called

• genes

• meiosis

• recessive traits

• heredity

During sexual reproduction, each parent contributes

• a double helix of chromosomes

• one strand of chromosomes, or half of the new organism's DNA

• a dominant gene and a recessive gene

• multiple mutated cells

A cell created by cloning is genetically

• half like its father and half like its mother

• unique because it is a mixture of DNA

• identical to its stem cell

• identical to its parent

Which one of those are dominant genes?

• B

• b

• e

• t

In which of these situations will the recessive gene show?

• Bb

• eE

• ss

• CC

The genes of DNA depend on your parents and ancestors.

• True

• False

Creation of offspring involving one parent

• peaceful reproduction

• no reproduction

• asexual reproduction

• sexual reproduction

Creation of offspring involving two parents

• anti reproduction

• sexual reproduction

• asexual reproduction

• no reproduction
