GENETICS
Across
- 3. Have one chromosome of each pair
- 5. Crossing over occurs
- 7. A stage in meiosis 2 where the chromosomes become arranged on the metaphase plate
- 8. Occurs when DNA gene is damaged or changed
- 12. Heritable factor that consist of a length of DNA and influences a specific characteristic
- 13. Mutation that exchanges one base for another
- 15. Carry the same genes, one from each perental source
Down
- 1. Formed by mutations
- 2. The failure of one or more pairs of homologus chromosomes or sister chromatids to seperate normally douring nuclear division
- 4. Shows the chromosomes of an organism in homologus pairs of decreasing length
- 6. The whole of the genetic information of an organism
- 9. Various specific form of a gene
- 10. specific, fixed position on a chromosome where a particular gene or genetic marker is located
- 11. A type of cell division that results in four doughter cells
- 14. A genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third chromosome 21
