2. – A structure made of DNA that contains genes.
7. – Having two different alleles for a trait (e.g., Bb).
9. Engineering – The direct manipulation of an organism’s DNA.
11. – The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
12. (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) – The molecule that carries genetic information.
13. Square – A chart used to predict the possible genetic outcomes of a cross.
14. – The genetic makeup of an organism (e.g., BB, Bb, bb).
15. Trait – A trait that is only expressed when two recessive alleles are present.

1. – Having two identical alleles for a trait (e.g., BB or bb).
3. – Different versions of a gene.
4. – A change in the DNA sequence.
5. – A segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait.
6. Trait – A trait that is expressed when at least one dominant allele is present.
