Genetics
Across
- 3. Shape of DNA
- 10. the passing of traits from parents to offspring
- 11. the study of how traits are passed from parent to offspring
- 12. Chemical base that always pairs with Adenine
- 13. a diagram used to show the inheritance of traits over generations of a family
- 15. allele that blocks or "covers up" the weaker alleles; when present it will always show in the phenotype; represented by an upper-case letter
Down
- 1. a tool used to predict the genetic outcomes of a cross between parents' traits
- 2. What does DNA stand for?
- 4. possesses the same alleles; Example: RR, rr
- 5. Chemical Base that always pairs with Guanine
- 6. different forms of a gene
- 7. allele that is weaker and is "hidden/covered up" by the stronger allele: represented by a lower-case letter
- 8. a characteristic of an organism that is passed down from parents to offspring.; Can be determined by genes, the environment, or a combination of both.
- 9. combination of different alleles; Example: Rr
- 13. the physical appearance of an organism; based on the genotype
- 14. genetic make-up of an organism; determines the phenotype
