  1. 2. Describes the traits you see from a certain genotype.
  2. 5. Having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes. (ex. Hh)
  3. 6. Cell reproduction that creates 2 identical daughter cells. Occurs in all cells other than gamete cells.
  4. 7. Cell reproduction that creates 4 daughter cells with half the original genetic material. Occurs in gamete cells only.
  5. 8. A segment of DNA that is responsible for coding for a specific trait.
  6. 9. reproduction The process of forming a new individual from two parent cells (unique cells result)
  7. 13. reproduction The process of forming a new individual from a single parent. (identical cells result)
  8. 14. The gene that is only expressed if it is the only allele present in a genotype.

  1. 1. Tightly coiled strands of DNA that form when cells reproduce.
  2. 3. Describes the combination of alleles that an individual has.
  3. 4. The gene that is expressed if it is present in a genotype.
  4. 5. Having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes (ex. HH or hh)
  5. 10. Certain forms of a gene responsible for a specific trait.
  6. 11. Material that makes up our chromosomes and stores our genetic information. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
  7. 12. cell Either of the two cells formed when a cell undergoes cell division by mitosis.
