  1. 4. "This genetic process involves the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, contributing to genetic diversity."
  2. 5. "Different versions of a gene, contributing to the variety of traits observed within a population."
  3. 6. "The process of passing genetic traits from parents to offspring."
  4. 8. "The diversity observed in traits among individuals within a population, arising from genetic differences, environmental influences, and interactions between genes and the environment."
  5. 9. "The genetic makeup of an organism, representing the combination of alleles for each gene."
  6. 10. "The molecule holding genetic instructions, crucial for the development and functioning of all living organisms."

  1. 1. "The observable traits of an organism, influenced by both genetic makeup and environmental factors."
  2. 2. "The gradual development of species over time, shaped by factors such as natural selection and genetic variation."
  3. 3. "Named after the pioneering geneticist Gregor Mendel, this type of inheritance follows predictable patterns of trait transmission based on the segregation and assortment of alleles."
  4. 7. "A change in the DNA sequence, potentially leading to altered traits and genetic diversity."
