- 3. mating of animals that are less alike in performance traits than the average of the herd and is used to correct genetic deficiencies
- 7. genetic cross between organisms with two different phenotypes and produces offspring with a third phenotype that is a blending of the parental traits
- 10. type of genetic inheritance where one allele is not completely dominant over the other allele
- 11. When an animal inherits the same alleles for a particular gene, like hair coat, from both parents this heredity is referred to as...
- 13. breed formed using two or more established breeds in exact percentages that vary based on the goals of the breed and often called a synthetic breed
- 14. pedigree focused breed system that mates individuals that are closely related compared to the overall breed

- 18. Phenotype focused breeding system where paired animals are more alike in performance traits than the average of the herd
- 19. Animal phenotype that in influenced by more than one gene is called a ____ trait.
Down
- 1. caused by the level of dominance that exists between the different genes at a particular location on chromosomes and across these locations
- 2. genetic makeup or allele combinations that are instructions the animal uses to grow and the foundation for the its genetics
- 4. mating an animal of one breed with one from a second breed producing offspring that display a high degree of hybrid vigor but are always destined to go to market
- 5. The version of inbreeding is commonly used for breeding animals with the same genetic line but are not closely related as inbred animals and is called...
- 6. Breeding of hybrid animal to another animal that has one or more ancestral breeds of lines in common is called
- 8. observable or detectable (visible) characteristics of an individual organism
- 9. many breeds are used at the same time but are separated into groups and the more breeds that are rotated, the greater amount of heterosis seen among the offspring
- 12. When the phenotype is only influenced by one gene it is known as ____ inheritance.
- 16. In crossbreeding, the genetic makeup of an individual (genotype) consists of two different alleles of a gene for a particular trait making them...
