What is the definition of physical characteristics

a)

each allele in an organism results in a blend of the phenotype

expressed.

b)

a graphic used to predict the results of a genetic cross

c)

traits determined by genetics that are observable

d)

when the sex cells from two parents unite to produce offspring

that share the traits from both parents

2.

What is the definition of traits

a)

when one parent produces offspring that are genetically

identical to that parent

b)

physical characteristics, shown by an organism, based on the allele combination

c)

structures in the nucleus made up of DNA and protein

physical characteristics, shown by an organism, based on the allele combination

5.

what is the definition sexual reproduction

a)

when one parent produces offspring that are genetically

identical to that parent

what is the definition of incomplete dominance

a)

one set of instructions for an inherited trait

each allele in an organism results in a blend of the phenotype

expressed.

d)

traits determined by genetics that are observable

8.

what is the definition of complete dominance

a)

the entire genetic makeup of an organism; also the combination of genes for
