Topic 6.1: Genetics and evolution crossword puzzle
Across
  1. The number of categories minus one.
  2. A type of selection that favours individuals with extreme phenotypes and selects against those with phenotypes close to the mean.
  3. A method of transformation in which a small electric current is used to transfer recombinant plasmids into bacterial cells or fragments of DNA into eukaryotic cells.
  4. See ‘selective breeding’.
  5. An enzyme that joins the sugar-phosphate backbone of two DNA segments.
  6. When two or more genes are positioned on the same autosome. They are unlikely to be separated by crossing over during meiosis so are often inherited together.
  7. A version of a gene.
  8. A type of variation that cannot be categorised e.g. skin colour, height. It Produces A Continuous Range In Which A Characteristic Can Take Any Value. Multiple Genes influence continuous variation.
  9. The gradual change in the allele frequencies within a population over time.OccursDueToNaturalSelection.
  10. Describes a relationship between genes at different loci, where the allele of one gene affects the expression of a different gene.
  11. A chromosome that is not an X or Y chromosome.
  12. A condition in plants characterised by weak stems and small, pale leaves, due to insufficient exposure to light.
  13. A technique used to determine the patterns in the non-coding DNA of an individual. It involves five main stages: DNA extraction; digestion; separation of DNA fragments; hybridisation; and observation.
  14. A sequence of DNA that codes for an amino acid sequence.
  15. A drastic reduction in population size leading to reduced genetic diversity within a population.
  16. A therapeutic technique in which a faulty allele is replaced with a functional allele in order to treat or prevent disease.
  17. A statistical test used to determine whether a pattern of inheritance is statistically significant.
  18. A form of gene mutation in which one or more nucleotide bases are removed from a DNA sequence. This may lead to a frameshift mutation, changing every successive codon.
  19. A type of selection that favours one extreme phenotype and selects against all other phenotypes.
  20. The development of the computer tools and software required to organise and analyse unprocessed biological data.
Down
  1. An organism that has had its genome altered.
  2. The determination of a trait by the inheritance of two genes.
  3. The use of computational techniques to analyse large amounts of biodata and build theoretical models of biological systems.
  4. A type of variation that can be categorised e.g. blood group. A characteristic can only appear in discrete values. One or two genes influence discontinuous variation.
  5. A change to at least one nucleotide base in DNA or the arrangement of bases. Gene mutations can occur spontaneously during DNA replication and may be beneficial, damaging, or neutral.
  6. The complete genetic material of an organism.
  7. A type of chromatography that separates nucleic acid fragments or proteins by size using electric current.
  8. The modification of the genome of an organism by the insertion of a desired gene from another organism. This enables the formation of organisms with beneficial characteristics.
  9. A type of genetic drift in which a few individuals of a species break off from the population and form a new colony. This results in smaller gene pools and an increased frequency of rare alleles.
  10. Random variations in allele frequencies in small populations, due to mutations.
  11. Describes an allele that is always expressed. Represented by a capital letter.
  12. Programmed cell death. This is important for pruning surplus cells and tissues in development.
  13. Determining the entire DNA nucleotide base sequence of an organism.
  14. A form of speciation that occurs when two populations become geographically isolated due to a physical barrier.
  15. When both alleles for a gene in a heterozygous organism equally contribute to the phenotype.
  16. A short sequence of DNA that is used to identify a species. DNA barcodes are common to all species but vary between species.
  17. A condition in which plant leaf cells produce insufficient chlorophyll, resulting in pale or yellow coloured leaves. This may be due to mineral deficiencies, lack of light, or viral infections.
