Genetics
Across
- 7. A variant of a gene that can produce different versions of the same trait.
- 8. The physical expression of an individual's genotype, which includes observable traits.
- 9. A segment of DNA that contains instructions for a specific trait.
- 13. A disease or condition caused by an abnormality in an individual's DNA.
- 14. -Replication The process by which DNA makes a copy of itself before cell division.
- 15. The genetic makeup of an individual, which determines its traits.
Down
- 1. A structure made of DNA that carries genetic information.
- 2. A diagram used to predict the possible outcomes of a genetic cross.
- 3. A change in the DNA sequence that can alter the function of a gene.
- 4. The passing of genetic information from one generation to the next.
- 5. Differences in the DNA sequence among individuals that can affect their traits.
- 6. Having two different alleles for a particular gene.
- 10. A gene that is only expressed when two copies are present.
- 11. A gene that is always expressed when present, even if only one copy is present.
- 12. Having two identical alleles for a particular gene.
