Across
- 2. The set of information that controls a trait; a segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait
- 4. The passing of traits from parents to offspring
- 7. An organism that has 2 different alleles for a trait;an organism that is heterozygous for a particular trait
- 8. alleles An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present
- 9. allele An allele whose traits always shows up in the organism when the allele is present
- 10. A number that describes how likely it is that an event will occur
- 11. Having two different alleles for a trait
- 12. The scientific study of heredity
- 13. An organism's physical appearance, or visible traits
Down
- 1. The offspring offspring of many generations that have the same traits
- 2. An organism's genetic make up, or allele combinations
- 3. The different forms of genes
- 5. A characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes
- 6. The process in which an egg cell and a sperm cell join to form a new organism
