  1. 3. / cells used during sexual reproduction to produce a new individual organism or zygote
  2. 4. / the process by which the nucleus divides in all sexually reproducing organisms during the production of spores or gametes
  3. 6. / used to measure the chances
  4. 8. Alleles / three or more alternative forms of a gene (alleles) that can occupy the same locus
  5. 10. / having a single set of unpaired chromosomes
  6. 11. Dominance / form of intermediate inheritance
  7. 13. / refers to a pair of genes where one is dominant and one is recessive
  8. 15. / A form of dominance in which the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote

  1. 1. / the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics
  2. 2. / set of genes in our DNA which is responsible for a particular trait
  3. 5. Square / diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment
  4. 7. Assortment / formation of random combinations of chromosomes in meiosis
  5. 9. / occurs between pro-phase 1 and meta-phase 1
  6. 12. / the separation of pairs of alleles at meiosis and their independent transmission
  7. 14. / The fundamental, physical, and functional unit of heredity
