3. a type of inheritance where two or more genes on different places on a chromosome interact to create the trait
9. the letters that help you visual an organisms makeup
10. half the amount of chromosomes, n
12. both traits are mixed
13. over time, individuals with favorable traits survive and reproduce offspring with those same traits
14. a trait that will only be expressed if the individual is homozygous for this kind of allele
16. selection when an unfavorable trait is weeded out by the adapted individuals survival and opportunity to create offspring
19. when an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele

1. an individual who has two of the same alleles for a gene and will produce offspring with only that trait
2. a specific characteristic of an individual, like yellow vs. green pea pods
4. When the ratio of alleles in a population changes over time
5. a form of a trait, like yellow or green peapods
6. a trait that when in a heterozygous pair will be expressed
7. both traits are expressed at the same time
8. the normal amount of chromosomes, 2n
11. a tool that is used to help solve the genotypes of offspring when crossing two parents
15. the physical expression of a trait
17. when an individual has two of the same allele, i.e. TT or tt
