For a codominant traiit do the offspring of identical parents always look like the parent why?
No, the offspring of identical parents would not always look like the parents because everyone has dominant and recessive traits, where the recessive traits do not show but is still in DNA. That said, recessive traits not shown in parents can be passed on as dominant traits to offspring - making offspring not always identical to its parents. (this is also called genetic variation)
What are the saber-toothed tigers offspring like?
Extinct. As are their parents.
What role do genes play traits from parents to offspring?
the genes play a big roll in the offspring. Genes are important because they make you look like your parents
How do offspring get traits like those of their parents?
through chromosomes
What are the reasons that offspring does not look exactly like you?
Offspring does not look exactly like the parent because in humans, only sexual reproduction is possible, which involves 2 parents which exchange DNA to form offspring with different DNA and genetic information than both parents.
What does it mean if a plant is true breeding?
Mendel started out with plants that "bred true". That is, when tall plants were self-pollinated (or cross-pollinated with others like them), plants in following generations were all tall; when the short plants were self-pollinated (or cross- pollinated with others like them) the plants in following generations were all short.
What is special about the offspring of sexual reproduction?
They may not share the same properties as their parents. Plants that reproduce asexually have the same traits (like an immunity to a disease) however if a plant reproduced sexually it may not have the same traits.
Why offspring don't look exactly like the parents?
Genetics requires 2 sets of DNA, so part of the "look" comes from each parent, and part of what an offspring looks like is environmental.
What will happen if you water a plant with saltwater?
nothing will happen it will be like clean water
How does the offspring of asexual reproduction differ from the offspring of sexual reproduction?
Offspring from sexual reproduction have combined DNA from each of their parents. They are varied, as in a mixture of both parents. Example: if two bean plants, one tall and one short, sexually reproduce, the genotype will be Tt and offspring will most likely be tall (phenotype). Offspring from asexual reproduction does not vary. It is an exact copy of its parent organism, a clone, if you will. Example: If a short bean plant--a complete bean plant--asexually reproduces, it will have a genotype tt, (phenotype short) offspring that looks identical to it. I'm in 7th grade biology right now, and we learned this in December. Hope I helped!:) BvR
What is the difference between bacterial sex and sexual reproduction in plants and animals?
Bacterial is a plant reproducing itself. sexual is two parents that mate in order to make offspring.
When genesis speaks of the genetic principle or parents producing offspring like themselves it uses the phrase?
after its kind
