Genetics

4. -certain patterns of how traits are passed from parents to offspring
6. -any living cell other than the sperm and egg cells (reproductive cells)
9. -when you inherit the same version of a gene from each parent (have two matching genes)
12. -when different types of genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop
15. -a unique trait and characteristic
19. -an individual observable trait like eye color and hair color
23. -where a dominant allele does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele
24. -a characteristic of a person

1. -a quality that an individual or group has different from others
2. -he basic unit of heredity passed from a parent to the child
3. -when you inherit a different version of a gene from each parent
5. -one of two or more versions of a genetic sequence at a particular region on a chromosome
7. -a structure made up of DNA, is found in the nucleus of each cell
8. -a trait that is much more noticeable than others
10. -a characteristic, such as height or skin color, that is influenced by two or more genes
11. -a table where all of the possible outcomes for a genetic cross with two individuals
13. -genetic material that makes up someone's qualities, characteristics, traits etc. It is self replicating
14. -a trait that can be masked by stronger traits
16. -a reproductive cell of an animal or plant
17. -when there is no allele that can block or mask the expression of the other allele
18. -a cell that only contains one set of chromosomes
20. -family history that indicates which individuals have certain genetic traits, and diseases
21. -a type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduce the number of chromosomes in gametes.
22. -a cell that contains two sets of chromosomes
