  1. 4. the combination of alleles that the organism has (e.g. Bb, aa, TT)
  2. 5. the segment of DNA that codes for a protein
  3. 8. the study of inheritance of a single gene/trait
  4. 9. how the combination of alleles is physically represented (e.g. green peas, wrinkled leaves)
  5. 11. characteristic that an organism can have (e.g. color, height)
  6. 12. the generation of the offspring of the F1 generation (sound it out)
  7. 14. the tool geneticists use to figure out the probability of genotypes of the offspring of two parents
  8. 15. gene variant that is NOT expressed (ie the protein is not synthesized)
Down
  1. 1. gene variant that is expressed (ie the protein is synthesized)
