5. Traits or characteristics that are transferred from parent to offspring
7. The offspring of crosses that has the same form of traits
10. The scientific study of heredity
12. An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations
13. The traits that are physically expressed
16. A threadlike structure within a cell's nucleus that contains DNA
17. An offspring that of crosses that have two different alleles for a trait
18. Factors that control a trait
19. The passing of physical characteristics from parents to offspring
20. Having two identical alleles for a particular gene

1. An allele whose traits always shows up in the organism when the allele is present
2. The basic building block of nucleic acids
4. The genetic material that carries information of an organism
6. A number that describes how likely it is for an event to occur
8. An allele that is hidden whenever the dominant allele is present
9. An organism that always passes down certain physically expressed traits
11. The different form of a gene
14. Specific characteristics from a parent
15. Two different alleles for a particular gene
