A typical** **cell** **of any** **organism** **contains** **genetic** **instructions** **that** **specify its** **traits.** a. the differences between the life cycles and reproduction of sexual and asexual organisms. b. sexual reproduction produces offspring that inherit half their genes from each parent. c. an inherited trait can be determined by one or more genes. d. plant and animal cells contain many thousands of different genes, and typically have two copies of every gene. The two copies (or alleles) of the gene may or may not be identical, and one may be dominant in determining the phenotype while the other is recessive. e. DNA is the genetic material of living organisms, and is located in the chromosomes of each cell. ||< ** 1. WELCOME: **
