1. Reproduction Reproduction that requires two parents. Sperm and egg cells unite and make a fertilized egg.

6. Cell The male cell that fertilizes the female egg cell.
10. DNA that contains traits
11. The organisms parents birthed.
12. What an organism’s gene combination is.
15. Division A cell divides and creates a copy of itself.
17. An organism asexually reproduces by splitting into pieces, which grow into new clones.
18. Obtained from a parent
19. The gene that will overpower the recessive gene.
20. An organism ‘sprouts’ off of its parent, asexual reproduction.

2. Slightly different genes from the ones parents passed.
3. When a parent organism reproduces completely by itself, creating an exact copy of itself.
5. What an organism’s genes look like.
7. When the sperm and egg cell unite and create a fertilized egg.
8. A gene that is overpowered by a dominant gene.
9. Cell The female reproductive cell that gets fertilized.
13. An exact copy of a parent organism.
14. The passing of traits from parent to child.
