  1. 2. The complete set of genes in an organism.
  2. 3. all of the genes in all of the individuals in a breeding population.
  3. 6. The female reproductive cell, developed in the ovary.
  4. 7. One of the most fundamental building substances of living organisms.
  5. 10. Pertaining to an individual or a condition in a cell or an organism containing two copies of the same allele.
  6. 12. One member of a pair or series of genes that occupy a specific position on a specific chromosome.
  7. 13. diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
  8. 15. small molecules that are the components of proteins and There are 20 different kinds of it in living things.
  9. 18. Involves two divisions and results in four daughter cells, each containing only half the original number of chromosomes-23 in the case of humans.
  10. 19. genetic change in a population of organisms that occurs over time.
  11. 20. cell formed by the union of two gametes the developing individual produced from such a cell.

  1. 1. an organism's reproductive cells.
  2. 4. the likelihood that a specific event will occur.
  3. 5. DNA and histone proteins are packaged into structures called this.
  4. 8. Offspring that are the result of mating between two genetically different kinds of species.
  5. 9. A permanent heritable change in the nucleotide sequence in a gene or a chromosome and the process in which such a change occurs in a gene or in a chromosome.
  6. 11. the process of change in the genetic composition of a population due to chance or random events rather than by natural selection, resulting in changes in allele frequencies over time.
  7. 14. Any cell in the body except those directly involved with reproduction.
  8. 16. a large organic molecule that stores the genetic code for the synthesis of proteins.
  9. 17. A set of alleles that determines the expression of a particular characteristic or trait.
