Genetics

2. the process of producing offspring that are biologically similar to the parent.
4. a type of inheritance in which two alleles of the same gene are expressed separately to yield different traits in an individual.
7. This is an observable trait of an organism that can mask the recessive trait.
8. A segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait.
10. inheritance of traits that are typically passed from a parent to child.
11. the genetic makeup of an organism.
12. allele of one parent segregates randomly into the gametes.
15. a diagram that shows all possible outcomes of a genetic cross between two individuals.
17. bred from members of a recognized breed, strain, or kind whithout cross breeding.
18. This is the transfer of characteristics from parenting to offspring.
21. When two parents with contrasting traits are crossed.
22. Having two identical alleles for a gene.
23. the study of heredity, genetic variation, and genes in organisms.

1. genes are sorted into gametes independently of each other during sexual repoduction.
3. characteristic that is only expressed.
5. This is an alternative form of genes.
6. exposures to substances.
9. observable characteristics or traits in an individual based on the expression of their genes.
13. the relationship between an observed trait and the two inherited versions of a gene related to that trait.
14. a diagram of family history that uses standardized symbols.
15. The observable physical characteristics of an organism.
16. Having two different alleles for a gene.
19. offspring of two animals or plants of different breeds species or genera.
20. The genetic makeup of an organism.
