7. The offspring of many generations that have the same traits.
9. An organism's genetic makeup or allele combinations.
10. Having two identical alleles for a trait.
11. the production by a single gene of two or more apparently unrelated effects.
13. The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
14. An organism's physical appearance or visible traits.
16. A chart that shows the possible combinations of alleles that result from a genetic cross.

1. The set of information that controls a trait; code in the DNA.
2. A characteristic that an organism can pass to offspring through genes.
3. Having two different alleles for a trait.
5. A condition in which the two alleles of a gene are neither dominant nor recessive.
6. A number that describes how likely it is that an event will occur.
8. The different forms of a gene.
9. The scientific study of heredity.
12. An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present.
15. the interaction of genes that are not alleles, in particular the suppression of the effect of one such gene by another.
