Genetics
Across
- 3. two identical
- 5. The genetic contribution to the phenotype is called the genotype. Some traits are largely determined by the genotype, while other traits are largely determined by environmental factors.
- 6. a basic unit of heredity and a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, either RNA or protein.
- 8. Mendel Later, he was recognized for his seminal works on genetics. For this, he has become the father of genetics.
- 11. of dominance Rather than both alleles contributing to a phenotype, the dominant allele will be expressed exclusively.
- 12. The other gene will be masked
- 13. The term also can refer to the two alleles inherited for a particular gene.
- 14. of segregation Each parent passes an allele at random to their offspring resulting in a diploid organism.
- 15. a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms.
Down
- 1. will not be manifested in an individual unless both of the individual's copies of that gene have that particular genotype.
- 2. a long DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.
- 4. genotype may include one normal allele and one mutated allele or two different mutated alleles
- 7. determined by genes or the environment, or more commonly by interactions between them
- 9. In genetics it is normal for genes to show deviations or diversity
- 10. of independent assortment In other words, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.
