3. process through which organisms with certain adaptations survive to pass on their traits to a greater number of offspring that other organisms do
4. contains one dominant allele and one recessive allele
8. the outward appearance of a trait
9. A trait of a specific character that is hidden by the dominant trait in a hybrid organism
10. Cells that have 1 set of genes
12. cells that have 2 complete sets of genes
14. A trait of a specific character that appears in a hybrid organism
15. A sperm cell or egg cell
18. A characteristic of a species such as size or shape

1. A pattern of inheritance in a hybrid in which traits are blended together
2. An inherited trait that helps an animal survive to reproduce
5. The expression of both alleles in an organism
6. An organism with a mix of alleles for a specific character
7. The ratio of alleles in a population changes randomly over time
11. A pattern of inheritance that occur when two or more genes interact to control a single character
13. contains 2 of the same alleles
16. the study of how traits are passed from one generation to the next
17. A form of a character such as- tall or short
