  1. 1. Deoxyribonucleic Acid; The genetic material of organisms, usually double-stranded.
  2. 3. The specific physical location of a gene on a chromosome.
  3. 6. Genetic variations in the DNA, it can be due to differences in the length or sequence of the DNA.
  4. 9. An individual who has two different alleles for a specific trait.
  5. 10. The Y-chromosome and its genetic information is shared between individuals from the same ________ lineage.
  6. 11. Each DNA molecule must be tightly packaged. This packaged form of the DNA is called a__________.
Down
  1. 2. An alternative form of a gene.
  2. 4. New sequencing technology (Next-generation sequencing technique) that enables the simultaneous analysis of hundreds of genetic markers in a high throughput manner, with higher sensitivity since millions or even billions of copies of the DNA are sequenced in parallel.
  3. 5. The cellular organelle in eukaryotes that contains nuclear DNA.
  4. 7. _________ DNA is transmitted exclusively through the maternal line.
  5. 8. Segments of the DNA studied in Forensic Genetics due to their length polymorphism due to the difference in the number of repetitions of a short sequence of the DNA.
  6. 9. An organism with identical pairs of alleles for a specific trait.
