Across
- 5. physical characteristics of an organism
- 8. trait that requires only one copy to be expressed. Represented with a capital letter.
- 11. one of different forms of a gene
- 12. separation of alleles during gamete formation
- 13. the study of heredity
- 14. Mendel's principle that states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes
- 15. sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait; factor that is passed from the parent to offspring
