What term refers to the parents that reproduce together?
Cross
Hybrid
Gene
Allele
Reveal Answer
Correct Answer:
Cross
Explanation:
In genetics, the term used for the two organisms that reproduce together is cross. This word captures the idea of mating or breeding two individuals to study how traits are inherited, and it’s the pairing that starts the genetic cross. The parents in such a pairing contribute their alleles to the offspring, which is why the pair is described as the cross and the act of crossing. The other terms refer to different things: a hybrid is typically the offspring that results from crossing two different varieties, not the parents themselves; a gene is the basic unit of heredity; an allele is a variant form of a gene. So the best fit for the description “parents that reproduce together” is cross.
