  1. 2. Dominant version (allele) of a gene shows its specific trait even if only one parent passed the gene to the child.
  2. 3. a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person.
  3. 7. the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
  4. 8. Recessive gene shows its specific trait when both parents pass the gene to the child.
  5. 9. What do humans have 46 of in their cells?
  6. 12. a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
  7. 13. a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.

  1. 1. Internal heredity information that contain genetic code.
  2. 4. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
  3. 5. Two different forms of a gene
  4. 6. each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division.
  5. 10. Outwardly expressed traits or characteristics.
  6. 11. a self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
  7. 14. determined by genetic factors and therefore able to be passed on from parents to their offspring or descendants.
