Chapter 11 Section 1-The work of Gregor Mendel Section 2-Applying Mendel’s Principles
Across
- 6. organisms that have two different alleles for the same gene.
- 8. the different forms of a gene.
- 9. genetic makeup.
- 11. Mendel’s second conclusion. This principle states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive.
- 12. use mathematical probability to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses.
- 14. the likelihood that a particular event will occur.
- 15. formation of sex cells.
- 16. is a specific characteristic, such as seed color or plant height, of an individual.
Down
- 1. physical trait.
- 2. separation of alleles during gamete formation.
- 3. during sexual reproduction, male and female reproductive cells join together to produce a new cell.
- 4. organisms that have two identical alleles for the same gene.
- 5. helps account for the many genetic variations observed in plants, animals, and other organisms- even when they have the same parents.
- 7. the scientific study of heredity. This is the key to understanding what makes each organism unique.
- 10. the factors that are passed from parent to offspring.
- 13. the offspring of the crosses between parents with different traits.
