Where does an organism receive its chromosomes from?
An organisms gets its chromosomes from its parent(s).
The offspring of a sexually-reproducing organism receives?
half of its genetic material from each parent.
An organism that receives the same genetic traits from each parent?
according to my calculations, I believe its homozygous.
What characteristic allows enzymes to function in a specfic way?
Each enzyme has a characteristic shape
What does the offspring of a sexually reproducing organism receives?
One half of each parent's chromosomes, and genetic variation, as opposed to those that reproduce asexually - the cells just split, so each generation afterward is genetically identical to the parent.

What is one set of instructions for an inherited trait?
The gametes (sex cells) that combine to form a new organism in sexual reproduction each contain one set of the instructions for the genes of the new organism, that is, one set each for each trait.

What are the principles of genetics?
# Sex cell of a plant or animal may contain one factor (allele) for different traits but not both factors needed to express the traits. # Characteristics are inherited independently from other characteristics. # Each inherited characteristic is determined by two heredity factors/genes, one from each parent which determine whether a gene will be dominant or recessive.

Explain the importance of fossils in deciding evolutionary relationships?
We can look at fossils to determine what physical characteristics each organism had and compare them to other organisms to see what characteristic's they have in common or how the changed (evolution)
What was Gregor Mendel's hypothesis in the pea plant experiment?
"Alternative versions of genes account for variations in inherited characters." "For each character trait (ie: height, color, texture etc.) an organism inherits two genes, one from each parent." "If the two alleles differ, then one, the dominant allele, is fully expressed in the organism's appearance; the other, the recessive allele, has no noticeable effect on the organism's appearance." "The two genes for each character segregate during gamete production."
What is the function of mitosis?
The function of mitosis is simply to replicate or reproduce the cell - the most basic act of any organism. Also, growth of the organism and tissue repair, to ensure that each new cell receives a complete set of genetic information, asexual reproduction in some species.
What are traits that are hidden called?
Recessive traits can be hidden if the organism inherits one dominant and one recessive allele (i.e. is heterozygous) for a gene. If a heterozygous organism mates with another heterozygous organism for the same trait, the recessive trait may be expressed in their offspring, which would mean that the offspring inherited two recessive alleles, one from each parent.
