  1. 4. having two different versions (alleles) of a specific gene, one inherited from each parent
  2. 6. an observable characteristic expressed when an individual inherits only one copy of the corresponding gene version, known as an allele, from either parent
  3. 7. the set of observable characteristics, traits, or physical properties of an organism
  4. 9. One of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
  5. 10. an organism whose ancestors on both sides are of the same recognized breed, resulting from selective breeding over many generations
Down
  1. 1. an allele that only expresses its characteristic trait when an individual inherits two copies of it—one from each parent
  2. 2. having two identical versions (alleles) of a specific gene inherited from both biological parents
  3. 3. the specific genetic makeup or set of genes an organism inherits from its parents, represented by alleles (variants) at particular locations in the DNA
  4. 5. Square: A graphical tool used by biologists to predict the probability of an offspring’s possible genotypes and phenotypes (physical traits) based on the known genotypes of two parents
  5. 8. the offspring resulting from the crossbreeding of two genetically distinct individuals, such as different varieties, breeds, or species.
