Genetics Review
Question # 1
These are sections of chromosomes that
code for a trait.
A gene
Question # 2
This is a characteristic that can be passed
from parent to offspring.
Trait
Question # 3
Failure of chromosomes to separate
during cell division is called what?
Nondisjunction
Question # 4
This is when a zygote has only 1 copy of a
chromosome instead of 2.
Monosomy
Question # 5
The genetic make-up of an organism is
called what?
Genotype
Question # 6
This type of allele in not fully expressed
when paired with a dominant allele.
A recessive.
Question # 7
What do you call two alleles in a gene pair
that are identical?

Question # 8
What do you call an organism that
receives different forms of a genetic trait
from each parent?
Hybrid

Question # 10
What do you call it when two different
alleles for the same trait combine, but
neither allele wins expression?
