Genetics
Across
- 4. DNA is copied to create an identical strand of DNA
- 5. complex molecules that play out critical roles in the body
- 6. alleles you have
- 8. traits you show
- 9. trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in the offspring
- 11. three letter nucleotide sequence
- 14. a trait that will appear in the offspring if one of the parents contributes it
- 16. DNA is copied as mRNA
- 18. structure of DNA
- 20. building block of proteins
Down
- 1. more severe than a point mutation
- 2. one of the four nucleotides that DNA is composed of starting with the letter C
- 3. random, change in an organism's genetic code
- 7. one of the four nucleotides that DNA is composed of starting with the letter G
- 10. mutation affects a SINGLE nucleotide
- 12. one of the four nucleotides that DNA is composed of starting with the letter A
- 13. ribosome reads the mRNA and uses it the info to build proteins
- 15. make up all of your DNA
- 17. table used to calculate the probability of an offspring inheriting a specific trait
- 19. one of the four nucleotides that DNA is composed of starting with the letter T
