Definitions
1. one of a number of different forms of the same gene for a specific trait
2. a form of a gene that is expressed even if present with a contrasting recessive allele
3. a section of DNA that carries encoded information about a specific trait
4. the biological principle that recognizes that some alleles are dominant and some are recessive
5. a characteristic that a living thing can pass on to its offspring
6. a word describing an organism that has two different alleles for a particular trait
7. the passing of traits from parents to their young
8. the physical characteristics of an organism
9. the branch of biology that studies traits and their inheritance
