The number of genes and number of chromosomes inherited depend on the species. The number of chromosomes a species has is known as the chromosome number. For example, (disregarding polyploidy or polysomy) a human baby has 46 chromosomes, but a horse has 64. Chromosomes usually occur as one of a pair in humans, and so they have 23 pairs of chromosomes. However, it is common in plants to have many sets of chromosomes and so they do not occur in pairs, but in triplets, or as sets of 4, 5 or 6 etc. Some species of strawberries have 7 of each chromosome.
The number of genes depends on how long the chromosome is, and each chromosome in each different species will have a different number of genes on the chromosome.

The combination of genes in which a mixture of both traits show is called what?
Heterogeneous is when offspring inherits mixed genes from both parents.
A lioncub inherits what fraction of its genes from its mother?
It inherits about 50 of its mothers genes.
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.
An abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes is a?
An abnormal condition that a person inherits through the chromosomes or genes is a genetic disorder.
Who discovered using pea plants than information in the form of genes are passed from the parent to offspring?
Gregor Mendel.
In plants and animals does an offspring usually inherit at least two genes for a trait?
YES
The combination of genes in which a mixture of both traits show is called what?
Heterogeneous is when offspring inherits mixed genes from both parents.
A lioncub inherits what fraction of its genes from its mother?
It inherits about 50 of its mothers genes.
Why does the karyotypes of a sister and brother different?
each offspring in a sexually reproducing species inherits a unique combination of genes from its two parents. this combined set of genes contributes to a unique combination of traits in each individual
What do all animals pass on to their offspring in reproduction?
genes 23 from each parent
Why do flowering plants disperse their seeds?
The parent plants want the seeds to go away from the parent plants so that their genes don't compete. That is why they will blow around or catch on a animals coat.
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.
Do animals and plants have DNA?
no animals and plant cells can not have the same genes.
How are simple inherited traits passed from parents to their offspring and then to the next generation?
Simple inherited traits are passed down because each parent contains genes which are given to their offspring. The offspring inherits or receives these traits. The offspring then passes down those traits to their offspring. Each time there is a new generation, the original trait becomes less evident. The recessive traits decrease by a certain percent every time a new set of genes are added.
An abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes is a?
An abnormal condition that a person inherits through the chromosomes or genes is a genetic disorder.
Who discovered using pea plants than information in the form of genes are passed from the parent to offspring?
Gregor Mendel.
Describe the different methods of asexual reptoductiongive examples?
Asexual reproduction refers to the type of reproduction whereby an offspring inherits all the genes from a single parent. Examples include budding and vegetative propagation.
