Bio bugs The bio bugs were a great example of cell reproduction and heredity. In this essay I will discuss all the concepts of cell reproduction and heredity as they apply to the bio bugs. The parent bio bugs had four gametes. These gametes showed the same traits as their parents, which is an example of heredity. Heredity is the passing of traits from parent to offspring. The hereditary information is carried on chromosomes. Chromosomes …showed first 75 words of 293 total…

…showed last 75 words of 293 total…is half of the 46 which is in diploid cells. When the two gametes are joined there two different sets of chromosomes are brought together to form the zygote’s own set of chromosomes which would express both the parents trait. Each zygote has its own genotype and phenotype. A genotype is the particular combination of genes an organism has. The zygote also has a phenotype which is the effect of the genes in the genotype.
