Recessive gene
What else can I help you with?
When a is inherited from only one parent the offspring will have that genetic condition or charicteristic?
dominant allele
How are mutations passed down from parent to offspring?
Mutations can be passed from parent to offspring only by mutations found in genes. These genetic mutations can be hereditary. Chromosomal mutations only occur in one person and cannot be passed on to the offspring.
Reproduction an offspring isproduced by using the genetic matterial from only one parent?
Asexual reproduction requires genetic material from only one parent.
Why are you not identical to your parents?
An offspring is not identical to its parents because, an offspring is the product of the fertilization of two different individuals. Only some features are inherited from either parent, thus the offspring is not an identical copy of the parents.
What is a charateristics that can be passed only from one living thing to its young?
Genetic information, such as DNA, is a characteristic that can be passed from one living thing to its young. This information determines the traits and characteristics of the offspring, resulting in inherited traits being passed down from parent to offspring.
Body cell mutations cannot be passed on to offspring. This is because body cells do not contribute genetic material to?
reproductive cells. Only mutations in germ cells, which are responsible for passing genetic information to offspring, can be inherited.
Why are only inherited traits not acquired one necessary for the process of natural selection?
Because the offspring of an organism with a desirable inherited trait is more likely to survive than the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait (because the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait will not have its parent's desirable trait).
In sexual reproduction offspring are genetically different from the parents. This is because?
Each parent contributes only half of their genetic material to the offspring and the merging of genetic material from each parent may result in a traits different from what the generic material invoked in each parent.
Why does asexual reproduction produce no variation in offspring?
Asexual reproduction produces no variation in offspring because it involves only one parent, so all genes are copied directly from that single parent. There is no mixing or recombination of genetic material from two different individuals, which is what leads to genetic variation in sexual reproduction.
Is DNA only matched from the father?
No, DNA is inherited from both parents, with half coming from the father and half from the mother. Each parent contributes one allele for each gene, leading to a unique combination of genetic material in the offspring. This combined genetic information is what makes up an individual's complete DNA profile.
Is a genome from only one parent or both?
A genome is composed of genetic material from both parents. Each parent contributes half of the offspring's DNA, resulting in a complete set of chromosomes that includes genes from both sides. This combination of genetic information is what determines the traits and characteristics of the offspring.
What are the differencess between asexual and sexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction involves a single parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring with genetic variation due to the combination of genetic material from both parents.
