The baby plant has one red gene from one parent and one white gene from the other parent. Red mixed with white makes pink.

Why are some flowers tall and some short?
It is because of it's genetic. Every type animals and plants has it's own unique combination of genetic. So some flowers are tall and some short due to this reason.
Why do plants use self-fertilization?
Self-fertilization is used by some plants because it guarantees there will be offspring. This is the same reason why some organisms asexually reproduce. It may not allow genetic variation but it guarantees that their genes will be passed on and that there will be offspring.
What is embryo screening?
Embryo screening checks an embryo to see if it's carrying any alleles for a genetic disease (e.g. Huntington's disease or cystic fibrosis) so that the parents would know how likely it would be for their offspring to have a genetic disease. And the reason this is often perceived as a bad thing is due to the choice the would be parents would then make. They would be deciding wether to have a termination because of the genetic disorder. Of course the parents could potentially want to know just to plan the future and an ethically challenging situation would not occur.
What is the result of a mutation during meiosis?
The offspring of the organism will have the mutation. -Apex
How could cloning help save endangered animals?
Cloning may be a quick fix to increase the number of individuals. However, numbers are not everything. What is more important to small population sizes is genetic diversity, in other words the amount of genetic variation that exists within a population. Populations with significant reduction in genetic diversity will have a drastically increased likelihood of producing offspring with a recessive genetic disorder (the same reason why inbreeding in humans will likely result in some problem with the child). Besides this, genetic diversity allows populations to adapt in the event of a strong environmental change (e.g. climate change). In other words, if the environment changes, diversity makes it likely at least some of the individuals are adapted to survive.
Pros and cons of atheistic evolution?
Atheism and Evolution are two different things that are often miscombined. Atheism is a belief or philosophy that there are no Deities. Evolution is a biological process whereby the structure and genetic code of organisms change over many generations, as particularly unsuccessful organisms die without offspring and particularly successful organisms are likely to have more offspring. The characteristics of the successful organism thus become the norm.There is no particular reason to link them, other than the fact that atheists are less likely to reject evolution on the basis of their philosophy.
What are the principles of the theory of evolution?
1. Organisms share a common ancestor. 2. Populations change over time through two mechanisms: natural selection and genetic drift -Natural selection states that those organisms with characteristics that help it to survive will be more likely to reproduce and pass on those "favorable" characteristics to their offspring. -Genetic drift is the random change in the genetic composition of a population due to chance events causing unequal participation of individuals in producing succeeding generations. 3. Eventually these changes will cause new species to develop, and is the reason for the diversification of today's organisms.
Can flowers bloom with out bees?
Flowers will bloom as the reason for flowers is to attract pollinators. If the pollination does not happen the plant will not set seed.
Why do horese mate?
Horses mate for the same reason that all other animals including humans mate. It is to create offspring and keep a particular species alive. Horses are breed typically to sell or use for show.
What are the reason for some offspring having mixed phenotypes?
Phenotype is determine or dependent on genotypic factors (ie the genetic make up of a person) and environmental factors (which connotes influences form the environment ie the people you interract with, the places you go to, what you fancy etc).
Is genetic engineering food controversial some people worry that it might not be safe?
Genetic engineering food is of great concern to people, and for good reason. By altering the genetic coding of a food, it will not be recognized by the body as true food. As a result, the engineered food is more likely to be seen as toxic by the body, and will therefore cause health issues down the road.
