genetics
Across
- 4. - A genetic trait that is expressed only when two copies are inherited
- 5. - The genetic material that carries the instructions for the development, function, and reproduction of all living organisms
- 7. - A structure made of DNA and protein that contains the genetic information of an organism
- 9. - The offspring of two genetically different individuals or species
- 10. - The process of producing genetically identical copies of an organism or cell
- 12. - The observable characteristics of an organism resulting from its genotype and environment
- 13. - A genetic trait that is expressed when present, even if only one copy is inherited
- 14. code - The set of rules by which the nucleotide sequence of DNA is translated into the amino acid sequence of proteins
Down
- 1. - A change in the DNA sequence that can result in altered gene expression or function
- 2. - The genetic makeup of an organism
- 3. - The complete set of an organism's genetic material
- 6. - One of two or more alternative forms of a gene
- 8. - The passing of traits from parents to offspring through genes
- 11. - A segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait or function
- 12. - A diagram showing the inheritance pattern of a trait or disease in a family
