Heredity and variation

Class 9 | Science | Heredity and Variation

1 / 30

What is genetic variation?

The diversity of alleles and genes within a population or species.

The passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.

The process of producing offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism.

The transmission of traits from parents to their offspring through sexual reproduction.

2 / 30

What is a mutation?

A change in the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosome.

The passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.

The process of producing offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism.

The transmission of traits from parents to their offspring through sexual reproduction.

3 / 30

What is sexual reproduction?

A type of reproduction that involves the fusion of gametes from two parents, resulting in offspring that inherit traits from both parents.

The passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.

The process of producing offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism.

The transmission of traits from parents to their offspring through sexual reproduction.

5 / 30

What is phenotype?

The physical or observable characteristics of an individual, resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
