Here are the definitions matched with their corresponding letters:
a. **Version of a trait** - **(k)** a physical characteristic
b. **An allele that is only expressed if a dominant is not present** - **(b)** an allele that is only expressed if a dominant is not present (this is a definition for a recessive allele)
c. **A cross looking at two traits** - **(c)** a cross looking at two traits (this is known as a dihybrid cross)
d. **A cross involving 3 characteristics** - **(d)** a cross involving 3 characteristics (this refers to a trihybrid cross)
e. **Having 2 different alleles** - **(e)** having 2 different alleles (this refers to heterozygous)
f. **A diagram used to predict the outcome of a cross** - **(f)** a diagram used to predict the outcome of a cross (this is called a Punnett square)
g. **An allele that is always expressed** - **(g)** an allele that is always expressed (this is a definition for a dominant allele)
h. **An allele that shows up a little** - **(h)** an allele that shows up a little (usually a recessive allele)
I. **The father of genetics** - **(I)** the father of genetics (this refers to Gregor Mendel)
j. **Having two of the same allele** - **(j)** having two of the same allele (this refers to homozygous)
k. **A physical characteristic** - **(k)** a physical characteristic (this matches with the original statement)
l. **A cross looking at only one trait** - **(l)** a cross looking at only one trait (this refers to a monohybrid cross)
