Genetics

4. A cell that has one set of chromosomes.
6. Reproduction that is beneficial in environments where adaptability and genetic diversity are key for survival, but it requires more energy and time.
8. Physical appearance or observable traits of an organism
10. Is only expressed when an organism inherits two identical alleles for that trait; is overpowered by the dominant allele.
11. A segment of DNA that contains a code for a specific characteristic (trait).
12. A variation type in which a trait has a range of forms, with gradual differences.
14. The combination of alleles an organism has for a specific trait
15. Having two identical alleles for a particular gene.
16. Reproduction that is faster and more energy-efficient, making it ideal for stable environments, but it lacks genetic diversity, which can be a disadvantage in the long run.

1. A cell that has two sets of chromosomes, like human somatic cells.
2. the complete set of an organism's chromosomes, arranged and displayed in pairs based on size, shape, and number.
3. A variation type with distinct, separate categories or forms, with no intermediate states.
5. Different versions of a gene.
7. Having two different alleles for a particular gene.
9. Is expressed in an organism even when only one allele is inherited; overpowers the other allele.
13. Characteristics passed from parents to offspring, determined by genes.
