How do the offspring of sexual reproduction compare to the parent?
The offspring has half of each of their parents' gene
What are minor genetics between parents and offspring?
The offspring of parents have half of the parents genes (as you already know) but the mixture will produce a totally unique individual. Some of the genes will be exactly the same between all of them such as blood type or eye color. Sometimes a mutation may have occurred which will produce a completely different expression of the genes.
What percentage of the offspring's genetic information is the same as the genetic information of the parent?
An offspring receives half of its genetic information from its mother, and half from its father.
What is the outcome of meiosis in males and females?
It isn't different. Both parents give half of their chromosomes to their offspring.
What percentage of the DNA is passed through to the offspring in asexual reproduction?
An offspring receives half of its genetic information from its mother, and half from its father.
How do the offspring of sexual reproduction compare to the parent?
The offspring has half of each of their parents' gene
What kind of offspring are produced from sexual reproduction?
Offspring that are genetically different from its parents. Each parents contributes half the number of chromosomes, therefore the offspring has genes from its mom and from its dad.
Can offspring tend to have only half the number of chromosomes as those in their parents?
YES
What happen to chromosomes during meiosis?
half of each parents' chromosomes go to the offspring
How many chromosomes do they inherit from the parents like is it half or identical?
each parent gives half of its chromosomes, so the offspring will have full amount of chromosomes, two halves.
Would the method of reproduction in the tulips an pumpkin blossoms be sexual or asexual?
Sexual, because half/half of the two parent's chromosomes are given and the offspring will be different from the parents.
What are minor genetics between parents and offspring?
The offspring of parents have half of the parents genes (as you already know) but the mixture will produce a totally unique individual. Some of the genes will be exactly the same between all of them such as blood type or eye color. Sometimes a mutation may have occurred which will produce a completely different expression of the genes.
Do the offspring look exactly like their parents reproduction?
No. The offspring receive a combination of both parents DNA (roughly half from each parent although the mom contributes more due to mitochondrial DNA). During recombination the DNA of both parents is combined form a unique individual with traits from both the mother and father.
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.
A farmer breeds two goats that have never fainted and their first offspring faint two days its birth what must the parents genotype have been?
The parents genotype must have been half fainting half regular and the other parent had to be the same way. The parents would not have fainted because they had the non fainting gene.
How do offspring in sexual reproduction compare to the parent?
The offspring share half of the parent's genes.
What percentage of the offspring's genetic information is the same as the genetic information of the parent?
An offspring receives half of its genetic information from its mother, and half from its father.
