Genetics

3. First phase of the cell division mitosis
4. Different alleles
5. The process by which a cell replicates its chromosomes and then segregates them, producing two identical nuclei in preparation for cell division
9. Fourth phase of the cell division mitosis
12. A section of DNA that codes for a specific trait
15. The molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism
16. trait A trait that is only expressed in an individual inherits two copies of the recessive gene
19. An observable trait
21. Same alleles
22. A diagram used in genetics to predict the possible genotypes of offspring spring based on the alleles of the parents

1. Cell prepares to divide by growing
2. Thread like structures made of protein and a single molecule of DNA that serve to carry the genomic information from cell to cell
6. To receive genetic material from parents
7. The process by which cells and organisms produce other cells and organisms of the same kind
8. A type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in gametes
10. Different versions of the same gene
11. The genetic make up of an organism
13. Third phase of the cell division mitosis
14. Observable characteristic
17. A scientific study of the principles of heredity and the variation of inherited traits among related organisms
18. Second phase of the cell division mitosis
20. trait A trait that is always expressed if at least one dominant gene is present. It
