Matching Pairs HeredityOnline version Life Science by Melodie Gonzalez [STUDENT] 1 The characteristics we get genetically from our parents and our relatives before them. 2 A person with both a dominant and recessive alleles. 3 Used to determine the probability of outcomes of offspring. 4 Because a person has more genes than expressed, there are many different possible combinations of genes their offspring can have. 5 Genes that are expressed when a heterozygous genotype is present. 6 Any of the forms of a specific gene that can be present on the same location of a chromosome. 7 Genes that are expressed when homozygous genotypes are present. 8 The process by which scientists modify the genome of an organism. 9 The trait that is expressed. 10 Determined by whether or not a dominant trait is present. 11 The study of heredity, or how certain features pass parents to their offspring Recessive Traits Alleles Genetic Engineering Gene Expression Punnet Square Heredity Variation Of Traits Phenotype Heterozygous Genetics Dominant Traits
