NGSS.MS-LS3-2

NGSS.MS-LS4-4

A reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are identical to the parent.

• Sexual reproduction

• Asexual reproduction

• Fertilization

• The Law of Segregation

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

A form of asexual reproduction. Organism forms by breaking off the parent organism. The offspring is an exact copy of the parent.

• Fertilization

• Meiosis

• The Law of Segregation

• Budding

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

A form of asexual reproduction. Occurs when chromosomes in one cell divide and produce 2 identical daughter cells.

• Mitosis

• Budding

• Fertilization

• The Law of Segregation

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

A reproductive process where cells from 2 different parents combine to produce a new organism.

• Sexual reproduction

• Budding

• Cloning

• Asexual reproduction

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

A form of sexual reproduction. Cell division that produces 4 gametes (male or female sex cells).

• Meiosis

• Budding

• Mitosis

• The Law of Segregation

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

An organism that has two different alleles for a trait (example: Bb)

• Heterozygous

• Homozygous

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait (example: BB or bb).

• Heterozygous

• Homozygous

An organism's physical appearance or visible traits.
