biology
Across
- 3. Each gene has different forms, known as alleles, which determine variations in traits.
- 5. the basic units of heredity and are found on chromosomes within the nucleus of a cell.
- 6. occurs during meiosis, when genetic material is shuffled between chromosomes, increasing genetic diversity.
- 9. if an organism inherits different alleles
- 10. the observable characteristics resulting from that genotype the observable characteristics resulting from that genotype
Down
- 1. Or means heredity which is the biological process by which parents pass on genetic information to their offspring through their gametes
- 2. the process by which the information encoded in a gene is turned into a function.
- 4. The combination of alleles that an individual inherits
- 5. the branch of biology concerned with the study of inheritance, including the interplay of genes, DNA variation and their interactions with environmental factors
- 7. the passing of traits from one generation to the next, plays a crucial role in shaping characteristics in both humans and other living organisms.
- 8. if an organism inherits the same allele from both parents
