  1. 2. The genetic transmission of characteristics from parent or ancestor to offspring
  2. 5. Occurs when both genes are shown in the phenotype when an individual has a heterozygous genotype
  3. 6. A full summary of the alleles for a specific trait
  4. 7. The process of inheritance
  5. 8. Shown as the phenotype if it is present in the allele pair
  6. 12. The term used to describe the overall physical structure of an animal
  7. 13. The entire genetic map of an organism
  8. 14. When both alleles are the same
  9. 17. Used to predict probability of offspring characteristics in single-trait crosses
  10. 18. RNA, is the molecule produced in transcription which carries out the instructions from the DNA for manufacturing proteins and organizing the cellular function of an organism
  11. 20. Genetic indicators for a trait

  1. 1. Occurs when an animal with a heterozygous genotype has a phenotype which is a mixture of the homozygous options
  2. 3. The process of reading a strand of RNA to create a protein
  3. 4. Only show in crosses where there is no dominant allele present
  4. 9. The outward expression of the alleles
  5. 10. An individual section of DNA that is responsible for a specific characteristic
  6. 11. When an animal has two different alleles for a trait
  7. 12. An example of phenotype would be coat _________________.
  8. 15. ____________ is shaped like a double-helix.
  9. 16. Process of choosing the most desirable animals for breeding to increase overall animal quality
  10. 19. _______________ animals have been bred and selected to fit the traits that we want them to have, but they were once wild.
