Genetics

5. the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism
7. A term that describes having two different versions of the same gene
8. Dominance 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
11. the process of creating offspring
16. the differences between different traits
17. One of a pair of female glands in which the eggs form and the female hormones estrogen and progesterone are made
18. the part of the ovary of seed plants that contains the female germ cell and after fertilization becomes the seed.
19. Trait a trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in the offspring
20. a distinguishing quality or characteristic
23. the physical characteristics of something
25. the membrane-enclosed organelle within a cell that contains the chromosomes
26. Squares a diagram that shows the genotypes of the parents to figure out the offsprings genotypes
27. a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring
28. a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.

1. a diagram that shows the phenotypes and genotype of a family tree.
2. the female organs of a flower
3. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome
4. an individual's complete set of chromosomes.
6. the study of how genes and how traits are passed down from one generation to the next
9. A term that describes having two identical versions of the same gene
10. Dominance when one allele is fully dominant over the other
12. The stamen of a flower — the part that produces pollen — consists of a slender stalk, called a filament and an anther.
13. the part of a stamen that contains the pollen
14. the stalk that supports the stigma and connects it to the ovary
15. Trait the inheritance of traits that are typically passed vertically from parent to child
21. the male fertilizing organ of a flower,
22. the genetic makeup of an organism
23. They can also be used as an energy source
