| #1 | Sex cells are created by a process called | meoisis |
| #2 | an organism uses what to produce offspring by itself | asexual reproduction |
| #3 | chromosomes are divided into sections of DNA called | Genes |
| #4 | The passing of traits from parent to offspring is called | heredity |
| #5 | The process of selecting a few organisms with desired traits to serve as parents of offspring is called | selective breeding |

| #1 | A farmer has 2 cows. one has 2 dominant genes for chocolate milk (CC) the other has one dominant and one recessive (Cc). What is the probability the offspring is dominant for chocolate milk | 100% |
| #2 | Farmer Daniel has 2 chickens. One has to recessive genes for black feathers (bb) the other has one dominant and one recessive gene (Bb). what is the probability the offspring has black feathers. | 50% |

| Misc. | ||
| #1 | why do sex cells only have half the number of chromosomes? | so when they meet in fertilization they have a complete set |
| #2 | What is the difference between learned and inherited traits? | inherited is something that is passed down from parents (ex. eye color), learned is something that a person must develop (becoming an expert at cells) |
| #3 | Give an example of learned and inherited traits working together | answers may vary |
| #4 | What is the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction | asexual is one parent, offspring are identical to parent. sexual is 2 parents, offspring are a mix of both |
| #5 | Which form of reproduction would be more beneficial to a parent organism and why | |
