Genetics

4. the different forms of a trait that a gene may have
7. weaker allele; covered by the dominant allele
8. a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction
10. physical apperance or characteristics
11. the young born
13. stronger allele; covers the recessive
14. two different alleles
15. a body cell having 2 pairs of chromosomes
16. the study of how genes (traits) are inherited or passed down from parent to offspring

1. both alleles are the same
2. passing of traitsfrom parents to offspring
3. part of DNA on chromosome that carry a certain trait
5. the genes involved in a trait; an organism's allele
6. tool used to show the probability (chances) of a trait being passed down from parent to offspring
9. found in the nucleus and contain the genetic material for the cell; 46 in each body cell
12. an organisms physical characteristics (can be seen)
15. holds the gene and is the genetic blueprint of the cell
