Reproduction of Organisms Unit Review

Key Concepts

Physical Appearance: An organism's visible traits.
Heredity: The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
Study of Heredity: Scientific examination of how traits are passed from parents to offspring.
Dominant Traits: Traits that cover over, or dominate, another form of that trait.
Recessive Traits: Traits that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait.
Genes: Segments of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait.
Alleles: Different forms of a gene.
Genotype: The genetic makeup of an organism.
Homozygous: Organisms with two identical alleles for a trait.
Heterozygous: Organisms with two different alleles for a trait.

Response to Environment: How organisms react to changes in their internal condition or external environment.
Innate Behavior: Inherited behavior that does not depend on the environment or experience.
Learned Behavior: Behavior that has been acquired from experience or observation.

Pollination: The transfer of pollen from male to female reproductive structures in plants.
Asexual Reproduction:
- Single Parent Reproduction: One parent reproduces by itself.
- Fragmentation: Offspring grows from a piece of its parent.
- Vegetative Propagation: Offspring grow from a part of a parent plant.
- Budding: A new cell grows or "buds" out of the body of a parent.
Sexual Reproduction: Involves two parents combining genetic material to produce a new organism different from both parents.
