All choices are correct
Sexual reproduction:
Has only one parent
Produces varied offspring
Produces identical offspring

Vegetative propagation is an example of what type of reproduction?
Asexual
Sexual
Cats reproduce by what type of reproduction?
Asexual
Sexual
Sea stars (starfish) use what type of reproduction?
Asexual
Sexual
Both types of reproduction
Neither type of reproduction
What best describes the offspring produced by sexual reproduction?
Genetically varied and not identical to either parent
Genetically identical with one another and one parent
Genetically identical with one another, but not with a parent
Genetically varied, but identical to one parent
The male part of the flower is called the:
Pistil
Stamen
Pollen tube
Ovary
Parts of the female pistil include:
Ovary, stigma, and style
Ovary, anther, and pollen tube
Ovary, stalk, and anther
Ovary, pollen, and anther
The ovary turns into what part of a plant?
Petals
Sepals
Fruit
Stigma and style
Dogs that have purebred parents of different breeds are very popular. Pomchis have one Pomeranian parent and one Chihuahua parent. Labradoodles have a Labrador retriever parent and a poodle parent. Crossbred dogs are hybrids and have a combination of traits from both parents’ breeds. What genotypes would the labradoodle parents have?
Homozygous
Purebred
Heterozygous
F1 Generation
Some people can roll their tongue into a tube shape, while others cannot. Practicing is not likely to help because tongue-rolling is an inherited trait. The allele for rolling the tongue (R) is dominant to the allele for not being able to roll the tongue (r). Look at the Punnett square. It shows a cross between two parents with at least one R allele (RR • Rr). The blanks in the Punnett square would be:
RR and RR
RR and Rr
RR and rr
Rr and rr
Gregor Mendel finished his pea plant experiments in 1863 and published his results in 1866. However, few scientists saw Mendel’s paper for three decades. Even after all that time, Mendel’s discoveries revolutionized the field of genetics. What did Mendel discover about the principles of heredity? Choose the statement that applies.
Individuals get one factor for a trait from each parent.
Genetic material is genes on DNA.
Mothers contribute factors for some traits while fathers contribute factors for others.
Most humans get alleles only from their fathers.
The tiny fruit fly is a superstar of genetics research. Thousands of experiments have explored how flies inherit traits. Wing shape, body color, eye color, and head shape are a few traits under investigation. Fruit flies make good study subjects because they are inexpensive, take little space, and breed quickly. In addition, humans and fruit flies share 75% of their disease genes. By studying fruit-fly genetics, we can learn about human illness. Which of these terms describes how the organism actually looks?
Genotype
Inherited factor
Phenotype
Masked trait
We breed a purebred blue critter (dominant homozygous) with a purebred orange critter recessive homozygous). Their first generation of pups will be:
100% orange
100% blue
75% blue and 25% orange
75% orange and 25% blue
We breed a purebred blue critter (dominant homozygous) with a purebred orange critter recessive homozygous) and produce offspring. When these offspring reproduce (second generation), their offspring should be:
100% orange
100% blue
75% blue and 25% orange
75% orange and 25% blue
If an offspring receives gg for seed color from its parents, it is considered:
Homozygous dominant
Homozygous recessive
Heterozygous dominant
Heterozygous recessive
If an offspring receives Gg for seed color from its parents, it is considered:
Homozygous dominant
Homozygous recessive
Heterozygous
Heterogeneous
Who is considered the father of modern genetics?
Theodor Schwann
Louis Pasteur
William Shatner
Gregor Mendel
Which type of probability gives us a prediction of what might mathematically occur?
Experimental
Theoretical
Accidental
Providential
