Explanation:

To solve this vocabulary matching problem, we analyze each term in Column A and match it with the appropriate description in Column B:

1. applied genetics: The process of using genetic knowledge to influence heredity (Q).
2. sex - linked trait: Determined by an organism’s sex chromosomes (N).
3. genotype: Combination of genes for a trait (O).
4. environment: An organism’s surroundings (H).
5. factors: Mendel’s term for trait - related info from parents to offspring (D).
6. base: Molecule in DNA that codes info (G).
7. diabetes: A genetic disease with too much blood sugar (M).
8. fraternal twins: Twins from two different zygotes (K).
9. carrier: Organism with a gene but no effect shown (E).
10. cross - pollination: Pollen movement between different plants’ sex organs (P).
11. identical twins: Twins from the same zygote (F).
12. dominant gene: A gene that shows as a trait (R).
13. self - pollination: Pollen movement within the same plant (A).
14. gene pool: Genes in a population (I).
15. F₁ generation: Result of Mendel’s cross - pollination of two pure plants (J).
16. genetics: The study of heredity (S).
17. P generation: Pure plants from Mendel’s self - pollination (T).
18. sex chromosome: Determines an organism’s sex (C).
19. inbreeding: Sexual reproduction in a small gene pool (B).
20. genetic disease: Caused by a mutated gene (L).
