Genetics

3. the genetic constitution of an individual organism.
5. the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
7. the likelihood of something happening or being the case.
10. a pair of genes where one is dominant and one is recessive — they're different.
11. recessive allele that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its paired allele is identical.
12. a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
14. bred from parents of the same breed or variety.

1. allele an allele that produces the same phenotype whether its paired allele is identical or different.
2. the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
4. the action or process of fertilizing an egg, female animal, or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
5. the offspring of two plants or animals of different species or varieties
6. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
8. the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
9. Square a diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
10. When an individual has two of the same allele, whether dominant or recessive
13. a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person.
