  1. 1. Deoxyribonucleic Acid; The genetic material of organisms, usually double-stranded.
  2. 4. An individual who has two different alleles for a specific trait.
  3. 5. Segments of the DNA studied in Forensic Genetics due to their length polymorphism due to the difference in the number of repetitions of a short sequence of the DNA.
  4. 6. The cellular organelle in eukaryotes that contains nuclear DNA.
  5. 10. _________ DNA is transmitted exclusively through the maternal line.
  6. 11. The specific physical location of a gene on a chromosome.
  7. 12. New sequencing technology (Next-generation sequencing technique) that enables the simultaneous analysis of hundreds of genetic markers in a high throughput manner, with higher sensitivity since millions or even billions of copies of the DNA are sequenced in parallel.

  1. 2. An alternative form of a gene.
  2. 3. The Y-chromosome and its genetic information is shared between individuals from the same ________ lineage.
  3. 7. Each DNA molecule must be tightly packaged. This packaged form of the DNA is called a__________.
  4. 8. An organism with identical pairs of alleles for a specific trait.
  5. 9. Genetic variations in the DNA, it can be due to differences in the length or sequence of the DNA.
