2. a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person.
4. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
5. the offspring of two plants or animals of different species or varieties, such as a mule (a hybrid of a donkey and a horse).
6. the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another.
8. having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes.
11. the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.

1. the presence of a dominant allele will always mask the presence of a recessive allele.
3. A couple of homologous chromosomes, or homologs, are a set of one maternal and one paternal chromosome that pair up with each other inside a cell during fertilization.
5. having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
7. a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
9. the genetic constitution of an individual organism.
10. a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.p
