column i
________ 1. genetics
________ 2. inherit
________ 3. genes
________ 4. offspring
________ 5. reproduction (reproduce)
________ 6. inherited trait
column ii
a. children from a male and female parent
b. the production of offspring by a sexual or asexual process.
c. the study of how traits are inherited through the interactions of genes
d. the material that controls which traits are expressed an organism
e. the passing of genes from parents to offspring
f. a characteristic controlled by a gene made of dna

Explanation:

1. Match "Genetics" to its definition as the study of trait inheritance via genes.
2. Match "inherit" to the passing of genes from parents to offspring.
3. Match "genes" to the material controlling trait expression.
4. Match "offspring" to children from male and female parents.
5. Match "reproduction (reproduce)" to the process of making offspring.
6. Match "inherited trait" to a gene-controlled DNA-based characteristic.

For the fill-in-the-blank: The term describes allele distribution in descendants.
