Genetics

1. Square a diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
3. When an individual has two of the same allele, whether dominant or recessive
4. a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
7. the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
8. a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person.
10. the action or process of fertilizing an egg, female animal, or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
11. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
12. the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.

1. the likelihood of something happening or being the case.
2. the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
4. the genetic constitution of an individual organism.
5. a pair of genes where one is dominant and one is recessive — they're different.
6. allele an allele that produces the same phenotype whether its paired allele is identical or different.
7. bred from parents of the same breed or variety.
9. recessive allele that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its paired allele is identical.
12. the offspring of two plants or animals of different species or varieties
