Genetics
Across
- 2. Dominant version (allele) of a gene shows its specific trait even if only one parent passed the gene to the child.
- 3. a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person.
- 7. the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
- 8. Recessive gene shows its specific trait when both parents pass the gene to the child.
- 9. What do humans have 46 of in their cells?
- 12. a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
- 13. a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
- 15. Two of the same form of a gene
Down
- 1. Internal heredity information that contain genetic code.
- 4. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
- 5. Two different forms of a gene
- 6. each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division.
- 10. Outwardly expressed traits or characteristics.
- 11. a self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
- 14. determined by genetic factors and therefore able to be passed on from parents to their offspring or descendants.
