6. scientific study of genes and heredity
8. an individual's observable traits
9. is a specific characteristic of an individual, such as seed color or plant height
12. An organism with a ______ allele for a particular form of a trait will exhibit that form only when the dominant allele for the trait is not present
13. individuals have two different alleles for a given gene
14. the genetic makeup of an organism

2. the dominant allele will be expressed of present
3. states that different pairs of genes are passed on to offspring separately forming new genetic combinator
4. individuals have two of the same allele for a given gene
7. states that gene pairs separate during gamete formation so each parent passes down one form of gene offspring
10. Scientists call the factors that are passed from parent to offspring
11. The modern science of genetics was founded by an Austrian monk named
