Genetics

3. Assignment of DNA on the chromosome that codes a trait.
5. Genetic material that carries information about an organism.
7. The genetic constitution of an individual organism.
11. Generations alternate between cells with a single set of chromosomes and cells with a double set of chromosomes.
13. Structure in the cytoplasm.
15. Part of the cell cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.
16. Genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents.
17. A distinguishing quality or characteristic of an organism.

1. Reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only.
2. The passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
4. Chart that shows all combination alleles.
6. Molecules on the DNA.
8. Relationship between alleles of one gene in which the effect on the phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus.
9. What you see.
10. The likelihood that an event will occur.
12. The different form of genes.
