12. A nucleotide is an organic molecule that serves as the basic structural building block of nucleic acids like DNA
13. A change in the DNA sequence that can create a new version of a gene.
17. genotype is an organism’s complete set of genetic material or the specific pair of alleles inherited for a particular gene.
18. hybrid in genetics is an organism or cell that gets genetic material from two different parents of separate varieties, species, or populations.
