genetics

3. recombination /a process by which pieces of DNA are broken and recombined to produce new combinations of alleles
5. /the union of two gametes
6. / the presence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism's cells
9. / a reproductive cell of an animal or plantd
10. of independent / assortment how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop.
12. chromosome / Two chromosomes in a pair – normally one inherited from the mother and one from the father
14. / An individual formed by mating between unlike forms, usually genetically differentiated populations or species.
17. /The presence of two different alleles at a particular gene locus
18. / the relationship between two versions of a gene
20. / a study of genes

1. /The presence of two identical alleles at a particular gene locus
2. / the production of offspring.
4. /a scoring of the type of variant present at a given location in the genome
7. / one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
8. of segregation /describes how pairs of gene variants are separated into reproductive cells
11. /having three or more sets of chromosomes
13. / the presence of two complete sets of chromosomes
15. /The observable characteristics in an individual resulting from the expression of genes
16. / The basic unit of heredity passed from parent to child.
19. / a trait that is expressed only when genotype is homozygous
