3. A heritable trait that varies among individuals.
5. A diagram of a family tree showing the occurrence of heritable characters in parents and offspring over multiple generations.
6. A handy diagrammatic device for predicting the allele composition of offspring from a cross between individuals of known genetic makeup (two words).
8. What is the name of the true-breeding parents (two words)?
12. An organism that is heterzygous with respect to a single gene of interest.

1. The two alleles for a heritable character segregate during gamete formation and end up in different games (three words).
4. The mating, or crossing, of two true-breeding varieties.
7. The transmission of traits from one generation to another.
8. A case where genes have multiple phenotypic effects.
9. A case where a gene at one locus alters the phenotypic expression of a gene at a second locus.
10. Breeding an organism of unknown genotype with a recessive homozygote.
