  1. 3. A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait.
  2. 5. An allele that is always expressed when present, masking a recessive allele.
  3. 7. The physical appearance or visible traits produced by the genotype.
  4. 10. An allele that is only expressed if 2 copies are present.
  5. 11. The scientific study of heredity.
  6. 13. A change in the DNA sequence.
  7. 14. Having 2 different alleles for a trait.
  8. 15. A structure of DNA that carries genes.

  1. 1. The process by which genetic information is passed from parent to offspring.
  2. 2. The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
  3. 3. The genetic makeup or combination of alleles for an organism.
  4. 4. A specific characteristic, EX: eye color, that can be passed to offspring.
  5. 6. Molecule that carries genetic information.
  6. 8. A diagram used to predict the possible genetic outcomes of an offspring.
  7. 9. A different form or version of a gene (EX: brown vs. blue eye color.)
