Answers Crossing over X chromosome Any mutation in DNA Heterozygous 5. The lethal allele is recessive and they have one dominant normal allele. Meaning they are heterozygous 6. False, some can cause genetic diversity that doesn’t lead to death, but new species or variations among animals 7. A sex cell(gamete) 8. Inversion 9. Normal 10. 4 11. AA or AO, BB or BO AB OO 12. Cancer 13. No, body cells are not passed to offspring, only sex cells 14. Cystic fibrosis 15. Sickle cell 16. PKU 1.
