Basic concepts of genetics
Across
- 14. an extent at which a particular genotype is expressed in a person, e.g. a severity of a disease
- 15. complete set of DNA of an organism
- 17. observable traits of an individual (hair color, blood type etc...)
- 19. a process by which information from a DNA molecule is copied on an RNA
- 21. Only one allele is present within the set of chromosomes
- 22. a repetitive sequence of DNA at the both ends of a chromosome
Down
- 1. a region on chromosomes to which microtubules attach during mitosis
- 2. one gene contributes to multiple phenotypic effects, e.g., affects multiple organ systems
- 3. an alternative DNA sequences at a particular locus
- 4. The two homologous chromosomes contain identical alleles at a given locus
- 5. location of a gene on a chromosome
- 6. one of the two identical copies of a chromosome resulting from DNA replication
- 7. an allele that is expressed phenotypically both in homozygous and heterozygous states
- 8. an allele that is expressed phenotypically only in homozygous state
- 9. when both alleles influence the phenotype equally (e.g. Blood type AB)
- 10. a protein complex at a centromere to which microtubules attach during mitosis.
- 11. a process of a templated polymerization during which DNA molecule is copied
- 12. a segment of DNA molecule with a nucleotide sequence encoding RNA.
- 13. The two homologous chromosomes each contains a different allele at a given locus
- 16. a complex of DNA and proteins during interphase
- 18. genetic composition of an individual
- 20. the probability that a person with a particular genotype will manifest it phenotypically
- 23. any alteration in a genome of a cell
