Here, offspring develop as a growth on the body of the parent.
In some species, e.g., jellyfishes and many echinoderms, the buds break away and take up an independent existence.

The F1 offspring showed only one of the two parental traits, and always the same trait.
Results were always the same regardless of which parent donated the pollen (was male).

Fisher further argued that the strength of the female preference tends to grow exponentially (leading to 'explosive' evolution of the characteristic) until finally checked by ecological selection, since the offspring of those females with the ...

In sexual populations half the individuals are male and cannot themselves produce offspring. This means that an asexual lineage will have roughly double the rate of population growth under ideal conditions.

When one parent carries a mutation in one copy of the RB tumor suppressor gene, it is transmitted to offspring with a fifty percent probability.

Moving up the scale towards more than one organism, genetics considers how heredity works between parent and offspring. Ethology considers group behavior of more than one individual.
Full article >>>

Genetic recombinant is an offspring having a non-parental allele combination. For example, crossing between parental Aa Bb and aa bb can have offsprings with the following non-parental genotypes: Aa bb or aa Bb.

Backcross
A genetic cross between an offspring and one of its parents or an organism genetically identical to one of its parents.
Back mutation
A reversion event which restores the original DNA sequence.

reproduction -- The manufacture of offspring as part of an organism's life cycle. This is not the same as dispersal. Reproduction may be sexual, involving the fusion of gametes, or asexual.
Full article >>>

The functional and physical unit of heredity passed from parent to offspring. Genes are pieces of DNA, and most genes contain the information for making a specific protein.

asexual reproduction
A type of reproduction involving only one parent that produces genetically identical offspring by budding or by the division of a single cell or the entire organism into two or more parts.

Morgan, crossed an Mp female with an mP male. The offspring (F1) were allowed to mate with each other. In the F2 progeny there were two types of females and four types of males (shown at left).
Unexpected types were found. Identify them! ...

Recombination: The process by which DNA is exchanged between pairs of equivalent chromosomes (crossing over) during egg and sperm formation. Recombination has the effect of making the chromosomes of the offspring distinct from those of the parents.
