What else can I help you with?
What are organisms that have their genes altered called?
These organisms would be called mutants.
What is the individual features of all organisms a result of?
The individual features of all organisms are a result of their genetic makeup, which is inherited from their parents. Genes contain the instructions for building and maintaining the structures and functions of living organisms, leading to the development of unique traits in each individual. Environmental factors can also influence how genes are expressed, contributing to the variability seen in organisms.
Why do organisms with greater fitness generally leave more offspring than organisms that are less fit?
Organisms with greater fitness have traits that help them survive, reproduce, and pass on their genes to the next generation. This allows them to leave more offspring because their advantageous traits are more likely to be passed on to future generations, increasing their overall reproductive success. Over time, this leads to a higher frequency of the fitter individual's genes in the population.
Genes that are not expressed if a dominant gene is present are called?
Recessive genes. These genes are only observed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele.
What is the definition of genetics?
Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms. It explores how traits are passed down from parents to offspring and how genes influence an individual's physical and behavioral characteristics.
What are organisms that have their genes altered called?
These organisms would be called mutants.
What are an organisms traits called?
genes
What is an inherited trait that makes an individual different from other members of the same species and results from a mutation in the organisms genes called?
Variation
Cloning an individual usually produces organisms that?
contain identical genes
Genes that cause abnormal development and the death of an individual are called?
Genes that cause abnormal deveolpment and the death of an individual are called? lethal genes
What organisms with two alleles are called?
Genes
Organisms that contain genes from other organisms are called?
A plant that contains a gene or genes from another organism that has been introduced artificially into the plant's genetic makeup is called a transgenetic plant. It is also called genetic engineering.
What are individual of genes called?
alleles

What is being selected in natural selection?
The individual, or the genes of the individual. All organisms are variants in phenotype and behavior. So, natural selection is the immediate environment these organisms are in and those that survive and reproduce better in this environment leave more descendants which carry the genes that promoted that survival and reproduction advantage. Then those genes are more represented in the populations gene pool and this is evolution.
What are the functional units of hereditary called?
Functional units of heredity are called genes. Genes are segments of DNA that contain instructions for building proteins, which determine an individual's traits and characteristics.
Why do organisms with greater fitness generally leave more offspring than organisms that are less fit?
Organisms with greater fitness have traits that help them survive, reproduce, and pass on their genes to the next generation. This allows them to leave more offspring because their advantageous traits are more likely to be passed on to future generations, increasing their overall reproductive success.
