Genetics

3. Describing a trait that is expressed or seen only when two recessive alleles are present.
4. Having two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., AA, aa).
6. The passing of genes or traits from parents to offspring through genetic inheritance.
7. One of the alternative versions of a gene that may result in different traits.
9. The genetic makeup of an organism, represented by the combination of alleles.
10. To receive genetic information or traits from parents through reproduction.
11. Units of heredity made up of segments of DNA that determine specific traits.
13. A tool used to predict the possible combinations of alleles in offspring.
15. Describing a trait that is expressed or seen when at least one dominant allele is present.
16. Thread-like structures made up of DNA and proteins that contain genes.

1. The observable traits or characteristics of an organism.
2. The twisted ladder-like structure of DNA, consisting of two strands that are held together by complementary base pairs.
5. The intentional breeding of organisms with desired traits to produce offspring with those traits.
8. A specific characteristic or feature that can be inherited from parents.
12. Having two different alleles for a particular gene (e.g., Aa).
14. The blueprint of life found in cells that carries genetic information.
