phenotype.
B
homozygous.
C
allele.
D
genotype.
6) (11) A purebred green pea plant is crossed with a purebred yellow pea plant. The result is the first generation all appearing green. If two offspring from this 1st generation are crossed, what would be the probable appearance of the 2nd generation

50% Green, 50% Yellow
C
100% Green, 0% Yellow
D
25% Green, 75% Yellow

In the nucleus of prokaryotes.

In the cytoplasm of eukaryotes.
D
In the mitchondria eukaryotes.
13) (26) Not having to find a mate, takes less time, and creates more offspring are advantages of which type of reproduction?
A
Asexual Reproduction
B
Sexual Reproduction
14) (28) As a result of asexual reproduction, the daughter cells are

natural selection.
C
selective breeding.
