  1. 2. The basic unit of heredity passed from parent to child.
  2. 4. budding and fragmentation
  3. 7. is their unique sequence of DNA. More specifically, this term is used to refer to the two forms a person has inherited from their mother and father, for a particular gene.
  4. 9. A structure found inside the nucleus of a cell.
  5. 11. the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism.
  6. 13. the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring
  7. 14. having inherited the same versions (alleles) of a genomic marker from each biological parent.
  8. 18. the word that we use to describe the alternative form or versions of a gene
  9. 19. having different alleles for a particular trait.
  10. 20. as related to genetics, is an individual who “carries” and can pass on to its offspring a genomic variant (allele) associated with a disease.
Down
  1. 1. establish pea plant populations with two different features, such as tall vs. short height, breeding them until they always produced offspring identical to the parent.
  2. 3. the study of how genes and how traits are passed down from one generation to the next.
  3. 5. a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
  4. 6. Known for his pea plant experiments
  5. 8. is the observable expression of this genotype – a person's presentation.
  6. 10. The process by which a single parent cell divides to make two new daughter cells.
  7. 12. a trait that is expressed only when genotype is homozygous
  8. 15. the production of new organisms by the combination of genetic information of two individuals of different sexes.
  9. 16. establish pea plant populations with two different features, such as tall vs. short height, breeding them until they always produced offspring identical to the parentBudding.
  10. 17. the inheritance of traits that are typically passed vertically from parent to child where both the parent and the child are affected by the trait or disorder that is related to that gene..
  11. 18. generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent.
