UNIT 6

2. 2 different alleles in a gene
5. 2 of the same alleles in a gene
7. Diagram that shows transfer of traits through out family lines
8. genetic makeup of organism the letters
9. The DNA sequence that codes for protein
11. genes for different traits separated so inheritance isnt dependant on one another
12. Passing down of physical characteristics by parent to offspring and so on
14. The study of hereditary and trait variation
15. Father of modern genetics

1. Parental genes are randomly separated into the gametes; they contain only one gene of the pair. Offspring therefore only inherit one allele from each parent.
3. A form of dominance in heterozygous condition wherein the allele that is regarded as dominant completely masks the effect of the allele that is recessive. An organism with alternate forms of a gene (alleles) will express the form that is dominant.
4. the physical characteristics of an organism
6. When both phenotypes are expressed
7. diagram that is used to predict the Geno and phenotype of a trait
10. When two different species breed together
13. A gene that can be masked by a dominant gene
