Across
  1. 3. - the process of making mRNA from DNA
  2. 7. - a genotype in which the two alleles of a gene are different
  3. 9. - how a trait appears or is expressed
  4. 12. - a molecule made of a nitrogen base, a sugar and a phosphate group
  5. 13. - a genotype in which the two alleles of a gene are the same
  6. 14. trait - a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor
  7. 17. square - a model that is used to show the probability of all possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring
  8. 18. - ribonucleic acid, a type of nucleic acid that carries the code for making proteins from the nucleus to the cytoplasm
  9. 19. - the alleles of all the genes on an organism’s chromosomes; controls an organism’s phenotype
Down
  1. 1. dominance - an inheritance pattern in which an offspring’s phenotype is a combination of the parents’ phenotypes
  2. 2. - a process of copying a DNA molecule to make another DNA molecule
  3. 3. - the process of making a protein from RNA
  4. 4. - the study of how traits are passed from parents to offspring
  5. 5. - a different form of a gene
  6. 6. Inheritance - an inheritance pattern in which multiple genes determine the phenotype of a trait
  7. 8. - the passing of traits from parents to offspring
  8. 10. - an organism’s genetic material (deoxyribonucleic acid)
  9. 11. - an inherited pattern in which both alleles can be observed in a phenotype
  10. 15. - a permanent change in the sequence of DNA, or the nucleotides, in a gene or a chromosome
  11. 16. - a section on a chromosome that has genetic information for one trait
  12. 18. trait - a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant factor
