What is the role that the chromosomes play in inheritance?
Take apart the two words "heredity" and "vehicles". Heredity means the passing of physical or mental characteristics whilst vehicle is a transportation device. Chromosomes carry genetic information through genes. Therefore they are the method where characteristics are transported (usually by procreation).
What is a purebread?
In pure line plant breeding the seeds of a homozygous plant are seeded and harvested separately plant wise. Again the population of each plant is raised separately in separate lines and selection is made on the basis of well defined characters to avoid off types. The seeds of identical plants are bulked and field trials are conducted for yield and other nobleties such as disease & pest resistance etc.
What is the ability to produce fertile offspring?
this is the vital power of all sexually reproducing living beings, that if there is mating btwn natural parteners, then they will produce, offspring which bears natural capability to produce its next generation. .
How can variation in offspring be beneficial to survival of a population?
If every organism in a population had the same genes, then they would all be affected in exactly the same way by any outside factors from the environment. This means that if some factor resulted in those genes being lethal or not suited to survival, the entire population would suffer in exactly the same way: they would all die and the species becomes extinct. The idiom "all your eggs in one basket" comes to mind when describing such a situation. Variation allows for some organisms to survive different factors. If some genes were lethal or not suited for survival, then only the affected members die and the majority (or at least enough to ensure continuation) of the population survive.
How can a new plant be different from its parent plant?
No. While the new plants will look similar to the parent plants, seeds are the result of assexual reproduction and assexual reproduction means that the offspring are all unique. In other words there will be variation in exactly the same way as children do not look exactly the same as their parents.
The transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring by means of the genes in the chromosomes of cells?
heredity
An advantage to an offspring reproduced through asexual means is that?
A) It acquires the genes that made its parent successful in a particular environment.

What are the protozoa that are not capable of indipendant movement called?
the transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring by means of the genes in the chromosomes of cells
What does het mean in snakes?
It means 'Heterozygous' - Put simply, it means a snake carries the genes of two possible 'mutations' and it's offspring can develop either of the traits.
What are variations the result of?
Healthier offspring with more variation of their genes, which means that there are a wider variety of the differing alleles. Another result is that the offspring may have favourable characteristics (in the case of evolution) and also they could be more adaptable to the environment if it were changing.
How heredity related to genetics?
Heredity is passing the traits to offspring, means the character of parents will be passed to the children, and so on.And genetics, the gene character, they are the carriers who carry the characters of parents to the offspring.
What is the mother's phenotype?
The term phenotype means what you see. Like black eyes or brown eyes or blue eyes. The same is for hair color. This is different from genotype which means what is in the genes or what genes are not expressed. A person with brown eyes can carry a gene for blue eyes. This is the genotype. Each person carries genes that are expressed or what are seen and also genes that are not expressed and are not seen.
Why do organism with greater fitness generally leaves more offspring than organisms that are less fit?
Because fitness means exactly that. The ability to survive and reproduce - pass on genes.

What does What are the possible outcomes for the offspring mean?
Offspring usually means 'children', or 'answers'. That should help. _____________ I'm guessing that it's a biology question, and it's dealing with genetics. If so the question is asking you to report all the different ways that the genes of the parent organisms can combine to produce different values for a given characteristic. For example, you might list one possibility as "male, with such-and-such eye color, or "male with color blindness", or "female carrier of color blindness", that kind of thing. The idea may be to determine how genotype and phenotype interact, and to determine from that the probabilities of having an offspring with a the various possible phenotypes.
