DNA and Genetics
Across
- 2. contains ovules
- 4. passing traits from parents to offspring
- 5. right side of DNA
- 6. and organisms genetic material (deoxyribonucleic acid)
- 9. two alleles of a gene are the same
- 14. one nitrogen base is replaced with another
- 15. square model used to predict possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring
- 17. "father of genetics"
- 18. where the pollen lands
- 21. trait blocked by dominant trait; only shown when there is no dominant
- 23. the two alleles that control the phenotype
- 24. when both alleles can be observed in a phenotype
- 29. at least one nitrogen base is left out
- 30. shows phenotypes of genetically related family members
- 31. attracts pollinators to flower
- 32. inheritance occurs when multiple genes determine the phenotype of a trait
- 33. left side of DNA
- 34. the process of making a protein from RNA from DNA is the first step in making a protein
- 35. how a trait appears
- 36. the process of making a protein from RNA
Down
- 1. male reproductive organ in plants
- 2. eggs for reproduction; form seeds with pollen
- 3. a change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene
- 7. where pollen forms on a flower
- 8. process of copying a DNA molecules to make another one
- 10. made of nucleotides, single stranded, has uracil instead of thymine
- 11. tube that sends pollen to the ovary
- 12. molecule made of a nitrogen base, sugar, and a phosphate group
- 13. female reproductive organ in plants
- 16. supports the anther
- 19. dominance when the offspring's phenotype is a combination of the parent's phenotypes
- 20. section on chromosome that has genetic information for a trait
- 22. two alleles of a gene are the same
- 25. different forms of a gene
- 26. at least one nitrogen base is added
- 27. trait blocks another genetic factor; always shown when present
- 28. protects the ovary
