What is NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Name 1 way in which genetic engineering has already helped people.
What is medicine
Allele whose trait always covers up/shows up in the organism when the allele is present
What is a DOMINANT ALLELE
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait is said to be ___________ heterozygous or homozygous?
What is HOMOZYGOUS
The term that refers to passing genetics from one generation to the next. Begins with a "H"

What is Genetics?
A tool that can help you understand how the laws of probability apply to genetics-it looks like a square!
