Genetics Biology

5. variety natural difference in DNA between individuals in the same species
7. Two alleles inherited for a particular gene
8. both alleles are expressed equally with no blending
9. the pairing up of two homologous chromosomes
11. It is a diploid cell
14. genotype is the same as the phenotype
16. failure of chromosomes to separate properly during cell division
18. segments of homologous chromosomes break and reattach to the other chromosome
20. chromosomes line up and separate randomly during metaphase 1 and anaphase 1

1. trait a characteristic that is passed down from the parent to the child through DNA
2. The way an organism looks or behaves
3. the process by which organisms produce gametes
4. contain DNA that codes for the same genes, but possibly different versions of those genes
6. a new phenotype appears in the heterozygous condition as a BLEND of the dominant and recessive phenotypes
10. Organism that receives different genetic information from each parent
12. one specific trait that is inherited in the organisms genes
13. the separation of allele pairs during meiosis into different gametes
15. differences in traits passed down from parents through genes that exist between individuals in a population
17. the pair of homologous chromosomes that forms in prophase 1 and separates in anaphase 1
19. passing of traits from parents to child
