____________________ - the genetic makeup of an organism.
____________________ - outward physical appearance and behavior of an organism a result of genotype
____________________ - biological and chemical methods to change the arrangement of a gene’s DNA to improve crop production, produce large volumes of medicine, and change how cells perform their normal functions.
____________________ - describes an organism with two different alleles for a trait.
____________________ -alternate form that a gene may have for a single trait; can be dominant or recessive
____________________ - the passing of traits from parent to offspring.
____________________ - describes an organism with two alleles that are the same for a trait.
____________________ - production of a phenotype that is intermediate between the two homozygous parents
____________________ - a tool to predict the probability of certain traits in offspring that shows the different ways alleles can combine.
____________________ - occurs when a group of gene pairs acts together and produces a specific trait, such as human eye color, skin color, or height.
____________________ - describes a trait that covers over, or dominates, another form of that trait.
____________________ - describes a trait that is covered over, or dominated, by another form of that trait and seems to disappear.
____________________ - an organism that received different alleles for a trait from each parent
____________________ - the study of how traits are passed to offspring
____________________ - an allele that is found on the X or Y chromosome
