- 8. An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present
- 12. A change in the structure of a chromosome
- 13. An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations.
- 14. The control center of the cell
- 16. A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross
- 18. the failure of one or more pairs of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate normally during nuclear division, usually resulting in an abnormal distribution of chromosomes in the daughter nuclei.
