What is a new trait is created by combining two different traits? Neither is dominant nor recessive.
Blended Traits
What is the material that contains the information that determines inherited characteristics?
DNA
What is a mature haploid male or female germ cell which is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote?
Gamete
What is a form of reproduction, such as budding, fission, or spore formation, not involving the union of gametes?
Asexual Reproduction
What is a male and female unite sperm and egg to create anew organism?
Sexual Reproduction
What are things that affect an organism's characteristics but are not in the DNA?
Environmental Factors
What is the passing of the traits from one generation to another?
Heredity

Offspring
What is the genotype of an offspring that has two different alleles from the parent? Many times this organism is Sterile and cannot reproduce.
