Genetics
Across
- 4. Both alleles are the same in a genotype
- 7. The set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment
- 8. Transmission of genetic information from one generation to another
- 9. A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes
- 11. Dominant allele completely masks the effect of recessive allele
- 12. a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
- 13. Diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment
- 14. Relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents
Down
- 1. The likelihood of something happening or being the case
- 2. Dominant allele is partially expressed
- 3. 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. Both alleles are expressed
- 6. The two alleles are different in a genotype
- 10. The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
- 12. The genetic constitution of an individual organism
