2. A characteristic that an organism gains during its lifetime through experiences that are not passed down genetically
6. Both alleles of a gene are expressed equally in a heterozygote resulting in displaying both traits rather than one being dominant
7. A biological process in which two parents contribute to genetic material to produce offspring
8. Organisms or cells produced asexually from one ancestor to which they are genetically identical
10. Having two identical alleles of a gene, inherited from each parent
11. A process in cell division where a single cell divides into two identical cells, each coning the same number/type of chromosomes as the parent cell
12. A feature that is passed down parents to the offspring through genetics
13. A type of reproduction where offspring have a single parent, resulting in genetically identical copies of the parent
14. A diagram used in genetics to predict the possible genotypes of offspring from a cross between two parents

1. having two different alleles of a gene, one inherited from each parent, at a specific location on a chromosome
3. A type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops on its parent
4. A cell division process that reduces the number of chromosomes in a parent cell by half
5. A genetic trait is considered recessive when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele
9. A genetic trait is considered dominant if it is expressed in a person who has only one copy of the gene associated with the trait
