skin color eye color hair color same way of acting ect.
Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for the trait are called?
Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for the trait are called Recessive traits. - Nikkkki
Which trait did Mendel identify in certain genes?
Traits are passed in discrete units from parent to offspring.
Producing offspring from parent with different forms of a is called crossing?
its called a hybrid
What is the process of the transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring?
Traits can be classified as autosomal dominant or recessive. A child receives alleles from each parent, a dominant trait requires one allele and a recessive requires both.
How many genes for each trait dose an offspring get from each parent?

If an animal with 2 dominant genes for a trait has offspring with an animal with 2 recessive genes for same trait their offspring can only have what?
Their offspring will have dominant genes. However, if these offspring have offspring with an amimal with recessive genes, the recessive genes will show up.
Features passed from parent to offspring?

A plant the always produces offspring with the same trait as the parent?
a true breeding plant always produces offspring with the same trait as the parent(s).
What is a characteristic that an organism can pass on to an offspring through its genes?
trait
Gregor Mendel concluded that a parent passes of the alleles for a trait to their offspring?
One of the allels for a trait to it's offspring.
A parent that is homozygous for a dominant trait is crossed with a parent that is homozygous for the recessive trait What percentage of the offspring will display the dominant trait?
100% of the offspring will display the dominant trait because the homozygous dominant parent can only pass on the dominant allele. The offspring will inherit one dominant allele from the dominant parent and one recessive allele from the recessive parent, resulting in a heterozygous genotype expressing the dominant trait.

heritability.
What does heredity unites mean?
the passing trait from parent to offspring.
