DNA and Heredity

5. The process of producing offspring.
6. Traits: Traits that are passed down from parent to offspring through genetic material.
11. The result of reproduction, typically referring to the young of an organism.
12. Resources (Biotic): Living organisms that are used or have value to humans.
13. A group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
15. The distinctive features or qualities of an organism or object.
19. Individuals that come together for reproduction.
21. The surroundings or conditions in which an organism lives.

1. A thread-like structure composed of DNA and proteins, carrying genetic information.
2. Related to genes, which are segments of DNA that carry instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms.
3. Behavior: Behaviors that an organism acquires through experience and interaction with the environment.
4. Parent: An individual who contributes genetic material to the formation of an offspring.
7. The specific environment where an organism lives.
8. Groups of individuals of the same species living in a particular area.
9. Living entities, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms.
10. Cycle: The series of changes an organism goes through from birth to reproduction to death
14. Characteristics or attributes of an organism.
16. Changes in the DNA sequence of an organism, which can lead to variations in traits.
17. Traits or characteristics that are passed from parent to offspring through genes.
18. Resources (Abiotic): Non-living elements in an environment, such as sunlight, water, and minerals.
20. (Deoxyribonucleic Acid): The genetic material that carries the instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms.
