The offspring of two koalas develops a genetic disease. when scientists studied the parents’ dna, they found that both parents carried harmful recessive genes passed down from the exact same lineage. which process contributed to the offspring’s genetic disorder? a. biomagnification b. eutrophication c. inbreeding d. predation

Imagine that a mouse has white fur because of a mutation in its dna. which of the following conclusions can be drawn

Chapter 11.1 & 11.2 notes section 11.1 1. every living thing has a set of ? inherited from its parents. 2. after becoming a ? , mendel spent several years studying ? and mathematics at the university of vienna. 3. during sexual reproduction, male and female reproductive cells join, a process known as ? . 4. pea flowers are normally ? , which means that sperm cells in pollen fertilize the egg cells in the ? flowers. 5. when mendel crossed plants with ? characters for the same trait, the resulting offspring had only one of the characters. 6. a ? is a specific characteristic, such as seed color or plant height, that varies from one individual to another. 7. filius and filia are the latin words for ? and ? . 8. the offspring of crosses between parents with different traits are called ? . 9.to mendel's surprise, all of the offspring had the character of only ? of the parents. 10. mendel's first conclusion was that biological inheritance is determined by ? that are ? from one generation to the next. 11. scientist calls the chemical factors that determine traits ? . 12. mendel's second conclusion is the ? . 13. the principle of dominance states that some alleles are ? and others are ? . 14. when mendel allowed the f1 plants to reproduce by self-pollination the traits controlled by ? alleles reappeared in about ? of the f2 plants in each cross.

92 sathe best for the question 11. most animals and plants reproduce sexually. this means that dna is passed down to new organisms from two parental organisms. which of the following is a key advantage of sexual reproduction?
