What is the most widely accepted definition for a species on biology?
A group of animals that can mate and produce offspring. It also helps if they look a little bit alike :) Added: Yes. The species concept. A potentially interbreeding population of organisms.
What reproduction is called when the offspring doesn't look like the parent?
Chlorobiastic
How do you determine a phenotype when the genotype is different but the phenotype is the same?
You look at the offspring. Offspring of a heterogenous match are going to have different phenotype percentages than those of a homogenous match.
What does the offspring look like when an organism is cloned?
No because though the parents are copys the offspring would be 2 sex cells (egg and sperm) and those 2 cells are unique made by the clones body.
What is the definition of hereditary?
Heredity: Heredity is the passing of traits to offspring (from its parent or ancestors). This is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism. Through heredity, variations exhibited by individuals can accumulate and cause some species to evolve. Some common (human) hereditary traits are eye and hair color and ethnicity. The study of heredity in biology is called genetics, which includes the field of epigenetics.
What does the offspring of the mealworm species look like?
They are mealworms. They are the offspring of the adult beetles.
What does elephants offspring look like?
Baby elephants look like adult elephants but smaller and cuter.
In what animal species does the male look after the offspring almost exclusively?
Seahorses seahorses look after ofspring exclusively
Why are house cats classified in the same genus and species even though they don't look alike?
regardless of how they look if they can produce a fertile offspring they are of the same species
Do baby fish look the same as the parent fish?
No they usually don't look like the adult of the species until they have grown a bit.
Can a rat and a guniea pig and a rat have babysif so what do they look like?
They are of different species, the definition of a specie is that it can not reproduce and create fertile offspring with a member of another species. In other words no.
Is it possible for the offspring of an organism to look nothing like the adult?
Yes, in rare cases there are albinos, or mutations, or down syndrome, that are about 1/170000 chance
Do all the offspring look the same?
In asexual reproduction the offsprings look the same as only a single parent is involved and there is no formation or fusion of gametes.Asexual reproduction involves mitotic divisions and the individuals produced are genetically similar.

How are inbreeding and hybridization the same?
Inbreeding is the breeding of closely related individuals of a species generally to produce more uniform offspring. Hybridization is the breeding of different varieties (breeds) or even different species to increase variation/ vigor in the genetic population. An example of variety hybridization would Labradoodles (labrador X poodle). An example of species hybridization would be (wolf X coyote). Many offspring produced from species hybridization are sterile... depending on the chromosome number compatibility and other factors.
How long do penguins look after their offspring?
Penguin parents will stay with their offspring until their offspring have molted. The length of time until maturity depends on the species of penguin, with smaller penguins taking two to three months to mature, and larger penguins such as the King penguins taking up to 15 months to mature. Once the offspring is able to swim, they are old enough to take care of themselves.
What will help you predict what an offspring will look like?
nothing can determine what the offspring will look like except for the dominant alleles for eye color
