Honors Biology: Genetics

2. A cell containing only one set of chromosomes (n); reproductive cell/gamete
6. sequence of DNA that is the blueprint for a specific protein
9. the different forms of a gene (usually represented by capital and lower case letters)
10. the physical appearance of a trait (ex: brown eyes)
11. a photograph of chromosomes
14. the genetic make up of an organism; the combination of the two alleles (BB, BB, bb)
15. any cell other than a reproductive cell
17. the study of the heredity; the inheritance of traits
18. determining the genetic cross of two traits at the same time; 16 square Punnett Square used
19. An organism that has two different alleles for a trait; heterozygous
20. determining the genetic cross of one trait; 4 square Punnett Square used
21. organisms that have two of the same alleles for a trait (BB, bb)
22. A cell containing two sets of chromosomes (2n), one set inherited from each parent.

1. a tool used to determine genetic probability
3. genes segregate into gametes independently from one another during meiosis (caused by crossing over and random alignment)
4. organisms that have two different alleles for a trait (Bb)
5. breeding (purebred) not mixed with anything else; homozygous genotype
7. a reproductive cell (ex: sperm, pollen, egg)
8. genes that are located near each other on a chromosome; rarely sort independently due to crossing over
12. a specific genetic characteristic
13. the separation of alleles into gametes during meiosis
16. the likelihood of an outcome
20. cell division process used to make gametes
