~My family tree poster shows the genetic history
of the _____________ family. Because Potato
Heads reproduce _sexually_, Potato heads get
_half__ of their genetic information from one
parent and the other _half_ from the other parent.
This passing of traits from parent to offspring is
called __heredity___. Coiled structures of DNA
called __chromosomes___ contain all of their
genetic information. These structures are found
inside a cell’s __nucleus__.
In order for _________ to be born (offspring
name), __________’s and ___________’s (parent
names) sex cells had to go through __meiosis__ .
The female’s sex cell is called an _egg__ and
male’s sex cell is called a _sperm__. When these
two different sex cells join _fertilization__ occurs
and the offspring starts to develop from the
genetic information in the parents’ sex cells.
