Genetics

5. how traits or characteristics are passed on from generation to generation
7. a genetic cross involving two pairs of genes (two traits)
8. two genes that occupy the same position on homologous chromosomes and that cover the same trait.
10. the allele of a gene that masks or suppresses the expression of an alternate allele, the trait appears in the heterozygous.
11. study of genes
12. A fixed location on a strand of DNA where a gene or one of its alleles is located
13. the entire set of genes in an organism

1. the physical appearance of an organism
2. having two different genes for a particular characteristic
3. an allele that is masked by a dominant allele, does not appear in the heterozygous condition, only in homozygous
4. The Father of Genetics
6. Having identical genes(one from each parent) for a particular characteristic
9. the genetic makeup of organisms
11. A unit of heredity, a section of DNA sequence encoding a single protein
