Genetics (Mutations (Bad mutations (an example of a bad mutation is that…

- - - - you're born without a toung and can't taste anything or talk clearly
  - - - having double joints because you can squeeze through small spaces
        
        When I think of good mutations I think of a newsela article that we read in class that described different mutations like freckles and dimples. I remember reading specifically that dimples were just muscles missing from wherever the dimple is.
  - - - having abnormally long nails so that you can scratch easily but also it is difficult to do different things like open doors because of your long nails.
- - - - Protiens
        
        Traits
        
        a trait is a characteristic belonging to an organism
        
        a protien is a pigment
      - a gene is something that is passed down from the parent to the offspring and it determins some characteristics of the offspring.
- - - - Natural Selection
        
        Natural Selection is only when the organism that is adapted better to the changes in its environment survive and they pass down their new characteristics through generations.
      - Adaptation is a characteristic in an organism that improves for a better chance of survival
- - - - one parent clones itself and has an offspring identical to them, with no differences. Asexual reproduction is different from sexual reproduction because the offspring has all the same genetics from the parent.,
      - An advantage of Asexual reproduction is that it is quicker and the offspring is born in less time than in sexual reproduction
      - a disadvantage of asexual reproduction is that of the parent has a disease than the pffspring will definitly get the disease and it will be passed for generations
        
        another disadvantage of asexual reproduction is that the offspring will look exactly like the parent so if the parent has a mutation that makes its life harder in some sort of way the offspring would have it too.
      - another advantage of asexual reproduction is that there is no need for two parents so there is no need to wast time looking for a male to mate with
    - - another advantage of sexual reproduction is that the offspring can mate with a male and then they can make a baby that doesn't look the same as them or their parents.
    - - another disadvantage of sexual reproduction is that there needs to be two parents because a sperm and an egg is needed for the process which make it longer and harder.
- - - - A recessive gene is a gene that can be masked by a dominant gene. For someone to have a trait that is a recessive gene, for example, blue eyes, you have to get the gene for blue eyes from both of your parents. A recessive allele has to be combined with another recessive allele in order to show up.
- - - - phenotype of an organism is the parts of the organism's characteristics or traits that you can see
