Genetics
Across
- 1. a type of mutation that involves the production of one or more copies of a gene or region of a chromosome
- 3. a cell with the potential to form many of the different cell types found in the body
- 4. the probability that an individual will be affected by a particular genetic disorder
- 5. an important class of molecules found in all living cells
- 9. a small collection of genetic code, either DNA or RNA
- 10. a change in a DNA sequence
- 12. a collection of tissues that structurally form a functional unit specialized to perform a particular function
- 14. an idividual who carries and is capable of passing on a genetic mutation associated with a disease
- 15. the entire set of genetic instructions found in a cell
- 16. an individual's collection of genes
- 17. the process of making identical copies of an organism, cell, or DNA sequence
- 18. the process by which mental and physical qualities are passed from a parent to a child before the child is born
Down
- 2. a genetic engineering technique in molecular biology by which the genomes of living organisms may be modified
- 4. the process by which certain biological molecules produce copies of themselves
- 6. an organized package of DNA found in the nucleus of the cell
- 7. an individual's observable traits, such as height, eye color, and blood type
- 8. the process by which organisms change over time
- 11. a substance that carries genetic information in the cells of the body
- 13. a specific characteristic of an organism
- 16. the study of how the qualities of living things are passed on in their genes
