Across
- 2. the genetic makeup of and organism
- 3. and alteration in a DNA sequence that can be harmful, beneficial, or neither to the carrier
- 6. a mutation that is neither harmful nor beneficial
- 9. a mutation that helps the carrier have a better chance for survival
- 11. threadlike structure that contains genetic information
- 12. an organism's physical appearance based on genotype
- 13. male gametes and female gametes contain --- the usual number of chromosones
- 14. a fertilized egg
- 17. what form of letter represents a dominant allele
- 18. the father of genetics
Down
- 1. a type of reproduction that occurs when one parent organism created a genetically identical copy of itself
- 4. letters what form of letter represents a recessive allele
- 5. the variation of a gene
- 7. a mutation in which the carrier has an affected ability to survive
- 8. a asexual ntype of cell division where the cell divides into two copies
- 10. occurs when the sperm from the male fertilizes the egg of the female parent, producing offspring
- 15. a specific characteristic, such as a seed shape or a flower color.
- 16. section on a chromosone that has genetic info for one trait
