  3. 7. genes that work together to produce a third trait (ex. red flowers + white flowers = pink flowers)
  4. 12. a segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait
  5. 13. stronger (capital letter, ex. B)
  6. 15. weaker (lowercase letter, b)

  1. 1. genes that work together and both traits show up (ex. red flowers + white flowers = patchy red and white flowers)
  2. 3. actual genetic code (PP, Pp, pp)
  3. 4. abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes
  4. 6. a characteristic of an organism can pass onto its offspring through DNA (ex. Does she have a widow’s peak?)
  5. 8. a tool we use for predicting the traits of an offspring
  6. 9. same, purebred (TT, tt)
  7. 10. each variation of a given gene, expressed as either an upper or lower case letter
