Genetics

4. the genetic makeup of an organism
6. A structure found inside the nucleus of a cell
8. the molecule that carries genetic information
9. a characteristic, such as height or skin color, that is influenced by two or more genes
10. any observable feature, or trait, of an organism
13. the observable physical properties of an organism
15. The basic unit of heredity passed from parent to child
17. a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells
18. a form of Gene interaction in which both alleles of a gene at a locus are partially expressed, often resulting in an intermediate or different phenotype
20. the relationship between two versions of a gene
21. a trait that is expressed only when genotype is homozygous
22. an inheritance pattern where two alleles are expressed equally, and neither allele is dominant or recessive

1. a table in which all of the possible outcomes for a genetic cross between two individuals with known genotypes are given
2. One of two or more versions of a genetic sequence
3. the presence of two complete sets of chromosomes in an organism's cells, with each parent contributing a chromosome to each pair
5. refers to certain patterns of how traits are passed from parents to offspring
7. the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another
11. a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes
12. referring to the cells of the body in contrast to the germ line cells
14. having inherited the same versions (alleles) of a genomic marker from each biological parent
16. having different alleles for a particular trait
19. a reproductive cell of an animal or plant
