Genetics

4. Asexual reproduction in which a part of the parent organism pinches off and forms a new organism
6. trait a trait that is apparent only when two recessive alleles for the same characteristic are inherited. Blocked by the dominant trait
7. division Process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells
9. when the cell divides into two identical cells
10. having two identical alleles for a trait
11. Square A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross
12. threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain the genes
13. trait A characteristic that is passed from parent to offspring.

1. traits a physical characteristic of an organism that is not passed down to offspring genetically
2. a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells not identical to the parent each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent
3. An organism that has two different alleles for a trait
5. reproduction A reproductive process that involves two parents that combine their genetic material to produce a new organism, which differs from both parents
7. An organism that is genetically identical to the organism from which it was produced
8. traits two alleles expressed equally together; neither being dominant over the other
