Genetics

2. Characteristics passed from one generation to the next
5. The genetic makeup of an organism
7. The transfer of pollen from one flower to another flower on the same plant
8. The weaker hereditary trait. It is hidden by the dominant trait
10. The term used to describe the genotype for a specific trait consisting of one dominant and one recessive trait
11. A type of gene expression where each of 2 different alleles are partially expressed.
14. A type of gene expression where both alleles are expressed
18. The outward appearance of an organism
19. The passing of traits by heredity
20. A reproductive process in which the pollen from one flower is transferred to the stigma of another plant

1. The passing of traits from parents to offspring
3. a mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent.
4. The study of heredity
6. Structures located on the chromosome that determine characteristics of cells and traits
9. Strands of genetic material located in the nucleus of a cell (the genes are located here)
12. The term used to describe a genotype consisting of two like genes for a given trait
13. The production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals
15. A sudden change in a gene that causes a change in an inherited trait
16. The hereditary trait that expresses itself more strongly than another
17. The “father” of genetics
