Genetics

3. The "Father of Genetics," who worked with pea plants to understand how traits are passed.
5. A condition in which both alleles for a gene are fully expressed.
8. The physical appearance or visible traits of an organism.
11. are an organism’s genetic makeup, or allele combinations expressed as letters.
12. The different forms of a gene.
16. The process in which an egg cell and a sperm cell join to form a new organism.
17. An allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present.
19. An organism's genetic makeup with two identical dominant alleles.
20. An organism with two identical alleles for a trait.

1. An organism that is the offspring of many generations that have the same form of a trait.
2. An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present.
4. An organism's genetic makeup with two identical recessive alleles.
6. A situation in which one allele is not completely dominant over another causing a mix of both traits.
7. The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
9. The likelihood that a particular event will occur.
10. An organism that has two different alleles for a trait; also called a hybrid.
13. The set of information that controls a trait; a segment of DNA on a chromosome.
14. A characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes.
15. An organism with two different alleles for a trait.
18. The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
