What structures carry genes to the offspring?
According to the chromosome theory of inheritance, genes are carried from parent to their offspring on chromosomes.
What is carried from parent to offspring on chromosomes?
Chromosomes carry genes from parent to offspring. A gene is a section of DNA which carries coding for particular protein.
What genes of offspring and parent are most alike after a process of?
Asexual Reproduction - the offspring will be exact genetic copies of the parent.
What is one characteristic passed from parent to offspring through genes?
The sex of the offspring.
in asexual reproduction how many chromosomes is passed on from one parent to offspring?
how many (number of chromosomes are passed from parent to offspring in asexual reproduction
What structures carry genes to the offspring?
According to the chromosome theory of inheritance, genes are carried from parent to their offspring on chromosomes.
The genetic information that is passed from a parent to its offspring is found in?
Most of the genetic information that is passed form a parent to its offspring is found in DNA molecules.
What is carried from parent to offspring on chromosomes?
Chromosomes carry genes from parent to offspring. A gene is a section of DNA which carries coding for particular protein.
How many many parents have to have the allele for huntingtons to affect there children?
Either parent. Since HD is carried on a dominant gene, if the gene is inherited from either parent, the offspring will develop HD.
How do offspring in sexual reproduction compare to the parent?
The offspring share half of the parent's genes.
Can plants inherit characteristics?
yes, as long a sexual reproduction takes place. genetic traits from each parent plant are carried over to the offspring
When one parent is pure dominant and the other parent is pure recessive the offspring will be what?
The offspring will be a scientist.
Why is it a disadvantage to have offspring the same as the parent?
If there is not change in the offspring then they will also be susceptible to the diseases the parent suffers and will not survive.
What is the antonym of offspring?
Parent
Why is the offspring not identical to parent in asexual reproduction?
The offspring is not identical to parent in sexual reproduction because sexual reproduction produces an offspring that is genetically different from the parents. ---- The answer above is actually incorrect. The offspring is identical genetically to the parent because mitosis produces cells genetically identical to the parent cell or cells. But the offspring itself is not identical.
What genes of offspring and parent are most alike after a process of?
Asexual Reproduction - the offspring will be exact genetic copies of the parent.
Can mutations be passed from parent to offspring How?
Yes mutations can be passed from parent to offspring. If a parent has a certain gene that is mutated then there is a possibility that the child may inherit it.
