offspringDefinition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary Jump to: navigation, searchNounoffspring (plural offspring or offsprings)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In biology, offspring is the product of reproduction, a new organism produced by one or more parents. Collective offspring may be known as a brood or progeny in a more general way. This can refer to a set of simultaneous offspring, such as the chicks hatched from one clutch of eggs, or to all the offspring, as with the honeybee. Human offspring (descendants) are referred to as children (without reference to age, thus one can refer to a parent's "minor children" or "adult children"); male children are sons and female children are daughters. See kinship and descent. Offspring can occur after mating (sexual Intercourse). From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Wonkyung C - Thu Apr 8 17:31:52 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. nobody really knows for sure. it has to do with so many variables. the Punnett square is a tool used to give you the general probability but its still only a % at best Answered by unknown - Thu Apr 8 17:33:56 2010 How do you find out the ratio for offspring? Q. I'm doing 21st century science and this was the question - What ratio of male to female offspring would you expect? It's in a table and well, females are WZ while males are ZZ. So from across, it goes W Z and on the left side, it goes Z,Z (in seperate blocks). Then you fill it in and it's meant to be something like WZ, ZZ, WZ, ZZ. So how do you expect the ratio/offspring/whatever? Asked by Whitebloss0m - Wed Jan 13 13:16:14 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Since you know there will be 2 males and 2 females, this means for every 1 male there will be 1 female so this is a 1:1 ratio...I hope you understand. For example if it was WZ, WZ, WZ, ZZ the ration would be 3 females to 1 male making it a 3:1 ratio Answered by unknown - Wed Jan 13 13:25:06 2010 If you cross two different colors of Glofish, what color will the offspring be?
Q. Glofish are genetically engineered zebra danios that are red, yellow or green. To create them, unhatched eggs were injected with proteins from sea organisms, which led to bright colors of the resultant fish. This dominant gene is now passed on to offspring of these fish through normal reproduction. My question is what color of offspring would result from, for example, a cross breeding of a red glofish and a yellow glofish? Asked by Joey B - Tue Jun 24 13:02:45 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. The only people who would be able to answer this are the company who made the fish. Although the dominant gene is passed on to offspring it is not clear if the cross you suggest has been done. Since the colours are dominant I suggest that a cross would produce co dominance.
