  1. 4. One or more forms of a gene
  2. 5. The process during which young, immature (unspecialized) cells take on individual characteristics and reach their mature (specialized) form and function.
  3. 7. The trait that is there but is hidden
  4. 8. type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in gametes
  5. 12. Type of RNA that is necessary for protein production.
  6. 15. Either homozygous Dominant or homozygous Recessive
  7. 17. Animals that have had a foreign gene deliberately inserted into their genome.
  8. 18. 2 Capital Letter AA BB
  9. 20. The set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment
  10. 24. The process by which the information encoded in a gene is turned into a function.
  11. 25. Self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
  12. 26. Tabular summary of possible combinations of maternal alleles with paternal alleles

  2. 2. Type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
  3. 3. Laboratory technique used to separate DNA, RNA or protein molecules based on their size and electrical charge.
  4. 6. The trait that always shows up
  5. 9. The scientific study of genes and heredity
  6. 10. Threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
  7. 11. Heterozygous
  8. 13. Allele combination for a trait
  9. 14. Unit of information on DNA
  10. 16. Plant, animal or microbe in which one or more changes have been made to the genome, typically using high-tech genetic engineering, in an attempt to alter the characteristics of an organism.
  11. 19. The study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work.
  12. 21. Test to examine chromosomes in a sample of cells.
  13. 22. The treatment of disease by transfer of genetic material into cells.
  14. 23. DNA that has been formed artificially by combining constituents from different organisms.
