genetics
Across
- 4. threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein,carrying genetic information in the form of genes
- 6. how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop
- 8. alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome
- 9. how pairs of gene variants are separated into reproductive cells
- 12. The presence of two different alleles at a particular gene locus
- 13. a unit of heredity transferred from parent to offspring determining the offspring's appearance
- 14. the genetic constitution of an individual organism
Down
- 1. in a heterozygote, one trait will conceal the presence of another trait for the same characteristic
- 2. gene on a chromosome masking or overriding the effect of a different variant of the same gene
- 3. the man who discovered genetics
- 5. having two identical alleles of a particular gene
- 7. a specific characteristic of an organism
- 10. genes inherited to offspring if both parents have it
- 11. characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype
- 13. the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
