Heredity |
|
Gregor Mendel |
-
Differences exist between the life
cycles and reproduction methods of sexual and asexual organisms.
-
Sexual reproduction produces
offspring that inherit half their genes from each parent.
-
An inherited trait can be
determined by one or more genes.
-
Plant and animal cells contain
many thousands of different genes and typically have two copies of
every gene.
-
The two copies (or alleles) of the
gene may or may not be identical, and one may be dominant in
determining the phenotype while the other is recessive.
