How will the offspring compare to the parent in term of traits and genetics materials?

the child has only one parent so the offspring will look exactly like the parent.


What reproduction is called when the offspring doesn't look like the parent?

Chlorobiastic


Why dont offspring of two parents look exactly like either parent?

Because an offspring gets 23 chromosomes from each parent through meiosis


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 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.


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)


Offspring resemble their parents because of?

Simply because each offspring contains 50% of the genetic material from each parent. From the moment of conception - every time the cells divide - each one contains a copy of half the DNA from each parent.


What can you predict about the offspring if you know the genotypes of the parents?

So, if one parent is Aa (heterozygous) and the other parent is aa (homozygous recessive) the punnett square would look like this: ___|_A__|__a_ _a_|_Aa_|_aa_ _a_|_Aa_|_aa_ The genotypes of the offspring 50% heterozygous and 50% homozygous recessive


What will help you predict what an offspring will look like?

nothing can determine what the offspring will look like except for the dominant alleles for eye color
