3. The study of how characteristics are transmitted from parents to offspring
4. A cross in which one characteristic is tracked
6. Having identical alleles
13. Offspring of the P generation
14. Offspring of the F1 generation
15. An alternative form of a gene
16. The genetic makeup of an organism
17. An allele that is fully expressed whenever the allele is present in an individual
19. learned characteristics

1. The original pair of parents at the start of a genetic cross
2. The appearance of an organism
5. The likelihood that a specific event will occur
7. A section of DNA that carries the information on how to make one protein
8. a characteristic
9. a long thin molecule made up of nucleotides
10. Used to predict the outcome of genetic crosses
11. The passing on of genetic characteristics from one generation to another
12. Having different alleles
18. An allele that is expressed only when there is no dominant allele present in an individual
