Genetics
Across
- 3. any change in DNA sequence of a cell
- 5. technique used in an effort to treat or prevent disease.
- 6. breed from closely related people or animals, especially over many generations.
- 7. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
- 9. the record of descent of an animal, showing it to be purebred.
- 10. choosing parents with particular characteristics to breed together and produce offspring with more desirable characteristics.
- 12. an individual's complete set of chromosomes.
- 14. a type of inheritance in which two versions (alleles) of the same gene are expressed separately to yield different traits in an individual
- 15. A special form of cell division in which each daughter cell receives half the amount of DNA as the parent cell.
- 16. how likely something is to happen
- 18. a table in which all of the possible outcomes for a genetic cross between two individuals with known genotypes are given.
- 19. an organism or cell, or group of organisms or cells, produced asexually from one ancestor or stock, to which they are genetically identical.
Down
- 1. having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes.
- 2. When there is a gene existing in more than two allelic forms
- 4. a mutation (a harmful change to a gene, also known as a pathogenic variant) affects your genes or when you have the wrong amount of genetic material.
- 5. the scientific study of genes and heredity
- 8. having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
- 11. the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
- 13. is the process in which two complementary single-stranded DNA and/or RNA molecules bond together to form a double-stranded molecule.
- 17. the genetic constitution of an individual organism.
