Genetics
Across
- 3. Describing a trait that is expressed or seen only when two recessive alleles are present.
- 4. Having two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., AA, aa).
- 6. The passing of genes or traits from parents to offspring through genetic inheritance.
- 7. One of the alternative versions of a gene that may result in different traits.
- 9. The genetic makeup of an organism, represented by the combination of alleles.
- 10. To receive genetic information or traits from parents through reproduction.
- 11. Units of heredity made up of segments of DNA that determine specific traits.
- 13. A tool used to predict the possible combinations of alleles in offspring.
- 15. Describing a trait that is expressed or seen when at least one dominant allele is present.
- 16. Thread-like structures made up of DNA and proteins that contain genes.
Down
- 1. The observable traits or characteristics of an organism.
- 2. The twisted ladder-like structure of DNA, consisting of two strands that are held together by complementary base pairs.
- 5. The intentional breeding of organisms with desired traits to produce offspring with those traits.
- 8. A specific characteristic or feature that can be inherited from parents.
- 12. Having two different alleles for a particular gene (e.g., Aa).
- 14. The blueprint of life found in cells that carries genetic information.
