  1. 1. - A type of cell division where one cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
  2. 4. - A gene that expresses its trait even when only one copy is present.
  3. 6. - A molecule involved in gene expression and protein synthesis.
  4. 8. Drift - A mechanism of evolution that changes the frequency of alleles in a population due to random sampling.
  5. 9. - A sequence of three nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid.
  6. 12. - The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
  7. 16. - The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism.
