When the sperm and egg meet they each have a 23 chromosomes and each chromosome has different genes and when it is time the most dominant gene will prevail and that is what will show in the offspring. Babies are made up from the parent's gene.

How do genes determine the characteristics of organisms?
Genes determine the physical characteristics that an organism inherits.
What is the matter of living matter?
To pass on its genes to the next generation.
The great variety of possible gene combinations in a sexually reproducing species is due in part to the?
Recombination, or crossing over, is the process by which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material during meiosis. This creates gametes with many different combinations of alleles, and is a major source of genetic variation in sexually reproducing species.
What are essential genes and non essential genes?
Essential genes are genes that are indispensable to support cellular life. These genes constitute a minimal gene set required for a living cell. Nonessential genes are the opposite. The cell can still live without them.
How is reproductive isolation related to the formation of new species?
Speciation would not be possible without reproductive isolation. We define species today as a group of organisms capable of reproducing fertile offspring. If there was no reproductive isolation, it means that the organisms are constantly interbreeding, mixing their genes, thus unable to become two mutually reproductively exclusive groups, or different species.
In sexually reproducing organisms, genes are transferred via _______________?
The gametes.
How can overcrowding be avoided in sexually reproducing animals?
Mother nature has a beautiful solution to that: natural selection. Those who are capable of surviving live to pass on their genes, and the ones who are not... well...

How genes produce traits in an organism?
Genes produce traits by describing and reproducing the essential proteins essential for life. +genes are codes for proteins that determine traits.
Is it true that sexually reproducing organisms contribute 100 percent of their genes to their offspring?
yes
Variation in the offspring of sexually reproducing organisms is the direct result of?
b) sorting and recombining of genes
What causes variation in human beings?
the variations in genes, genes of sexually reproducing organisms will vary due to crossing-over of genes, mutations, and adaptations. In asexually reproducing organisms genes will vary through adaptations and mutations.
What are the responsibilities of genes?
Genes pass the traits of the parents to the offspring.
What do some organisms die without?
Reproducing.
In the cell of a sexually reproducing organsim a pair of similar chromosomes with the same genes in the same locations is known as?
the answer is homologos
In the cell of a sexually reproducing organism a pair of similar chromosomes with the same genes in the same locations is known as a?
homologous
How are autosomal traits relate to Mendel's observations of heredity?
All of the traits that he studied were determined by genes on autosomes. Most traits in sexually reproducing organisms result in autosomal genes
When organisms reproduce they pass on what?
They pass on some of their genes to their offspring.
