Genetics & Reproduction

3. specialized cell involved in sexual reproduction
6. Different forms of a gene
7. fertilized egg
8. A characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes.
9. containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
10. An organism's physical appearance, or visible traits.
14. Describes a trait that covers over, or dominates, another form of that trait.
15. process of reproduction involving a single parent that results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent
17. Having two identical alleles for a particular gene
18. A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait
19. a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes

1. A reproductive process that involves two parents that combine their genetic material to produce a new organism, which differs from both parents
2. An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present
3. Father of genetics
4. having a single set of unpaired chromosomes
5. Differences among individuals in the composition of their genes and traits.
11. having two different alleles for a trait
12. a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells each with a full set of DNA, as in the production of body cells
13. An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations.
16. Passing of traits from parents to offspring
