Genetics

6. the female reproductive cell
8. within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells composed of chromatin and visible at cell division (condensed chromatin)
10. making productive by adding nutrients
11. the genetic make-up (the assemblage of alleles) of an individual
12. a heterozygous individual not expressing a recessive trait but capable of passing it on to its offspring
15. alternative forms of a gene
16. a region of DNA located on a chromosome that specifies a trait
18. the scientific study of genes and heredity
19. a change or alteration in form or qualities

1. possessing a pair of identical alleles for a particular gene
2. the production of new organisms by the combination of genetic information of two individuals of different sexes
3. an allele that is only expressed when the organism is homozygous for that allele and not expressed when heterozygous (when paired with a dominant allele)
4. the physical or chemical expression of an organisms genes
5. the generation that supplies gametes to the filial generation.
7. an allele that is always expressed when present, regardless of whether the organism is homozygous or heterozygous for that gene
9. the generation that receives gametes from the parental generation
13. material that carries genetic information in a cell
14. the male reproductive cell
17. possessing a pair of unlike alleles for a particular gene
