Science

1. An inherited trait that increases an organism’s chances of survival
6. Some traits are consistently passed on from parents to offspring
10. The passing of traits from parents to offspring
13. The study of heredity
15. Each trait is controlled by two of these factors
16. Organisms that are best adapted to an environment survive, and reproduce more than others
17. Offspring of true-breeding plants
18. When pollen lands on a stigma of another flower, this is cross-pollination
19. Offspring are a straight mix
20. What it looks like (tall or short)
21. Most population have more offspring each year than local resources can support leading to a struggle for resources

2. Individuals possessing traits well suited for the struggle for the environment will contribute more offspring to the next generation
3. Each species produces more offspring that can survive
4. Always create plants that look like themselves
5. Each individual has a unique combination of inherited traits
7. Contain either a T allele or a t allele
8. Traits are inherited as “particles”, offspring receive a “piece”
9. Factors that determine your traits
11. Organisms exhibit individual variation in appearance and behavior
12. When a parent makes sperm or eggs, their genes separate
14. What genes, letters, the organism has(TT, Tt, tt)
