Genetics
Across
- 6. The passing on of genetic factors from one generation to the next
- 9. A physical characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes
- 10. An organism that always produces offspring with the same form of a trait as the parent
- 11. A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait
- 12. An allele that is masked when a dominate allele is present
- 13. An individual with two identical alleles
- 15. An organism's genetic make-up or allele combination
- 17. A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross.
- 18. A rod-shaped structure in a cell that carries the genes that determine the characteristics an organism inherits from its parents
Down
- 1. Process by which one individual produces offspring that is genetically identical to the parent
- 2. A condition in which neither of two alleles of a gene is dominant or recessive.
- 3. Branch of science dealing with heredity and genetic variations
- 4. An allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present
- 5. Process that passes a combination of genetic material of both parents to the offspring, resulting in increased genetic diversity
- 7. The different forms of a gene
- 8. An individual with two different alleles
- 14. An individual with a combination of the parents traits
- 16. An organism's physical appearance or visible traits
