MS1.

- The genetic makeup of an organism (1)

MS2.

- Independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis I (1)

- Random orientation of chromosomes during meiosis II (1)

MS3.

- Dominant allele: expresses its phenotype even if paired with a recessive allele (1)

- Recessive allele: only expresses its phenotype when paired with another recessive allele (1)

MS4.

- Genotype: Pp (1)

- Phenotype: Purple flowers (1)

MS5.

- Individuals with advantageous traits have a higher chance of survival and reproduction (1)

- These traits are passed on to offspring (1)

- Over time, there is an increase in the frequency of advantageous traits in the population (1)

MS6.

- DNA replication (1)

MS7.

- Mutations can change the sequence of DNA in a gene (1)

- This can lead to the production of a different protein (1)

- The altered protein can result in a different phenotype (1)

MS8.

- The alteration of the genetic material of an organism (1)

- Usually involves the insertion or deletion of specific genes (1)

MS9.

- Treating genetic diseases by inserting a normal copy of the gene (1)

- Producing medicines or vaccines more efficiently (1)

MS10.

- Cloning

- Produces genetically identical copies of an existing organism (1)

- Used in research and conservation (1)

- Selective breeding

- Breeding organisms with desirable traits to produce offspring with improved traits (1)

- Used in agriculture and pet breeding (1)
