  2. 9. Type of molecule that carries genetic information
  3. 10. A segment of a DNA strand that contains information for a single task or trait
  4. 12. The physical traits you have based on your genotype
  5. 13. Sperm or egg cell
  6. 16. A version of a gene that can cover or hide a different version of the same gene
  7. 18. Each gene is inherited separately of genes for other traits

  1. 2. Reproduction using genetic information form two parents
  2. 3. A change in DNA usually due to a miscopy during cell division
  3. 4. Reproduction using genetic information from only one parent
  4. 5. All of the genes you have, whether they show or not
  5. 6. A cell that has only one copy of each chromosome; half the normal number of chromosomes
  6. 7. Cell division to prepare for sexual reproduction
