Amy and Jose noticed that some puppies had a variety of black and white coat colors. Which of the following best explains why these puppies had inherited different coat colors?

• The puppies receive different combinations of DNA from both of their parents.

• The puppies randomly receive DNA that is not influenced by their parents.

• The puppies randomly receive DNA from only one of their parents.

• The puppies receive an exact copy of both parent's DNA.

Some fungi are able to reproduce both sexually and asexually. Which type of reproduction would best benefit the fungi if the environment is changing?

• Sexual reproduction can produce many offspring quickly in a changing environment.

• Asexual reproduction can occur quickly, so it wouldn't matter if the environment changes.

• Sexual reproduction would produce genetically different offspring which gives the fungi a greater chance to survive.

• Asexual reproduction would produce genetically identical offspring which gives the fungi a greater chance to survive.

How do the structures in the image below play a role in heredity?

• Genes determine the type of DNA we will receive from our parents which are located on our chromosomes.

• Traits produce DNA when reproduction occurs passing genes to the next generation.

• DNA produces genes which are types of cells located in the chromosome.

• Chromosomes contain DNA where the genes that store the information about our traits are located.
