Genetics
Across
- 5. Square A tool to predict possible genotypes and phenotypes in offspring
- 6. A segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait
- 10. Two different alleles (Bb)
- 11. Different versions of a gene (e.g., blue eyes vs brown eyes)
- 12. A structure made of DNA that contains many genes
- 13. A specific characteristic (e.g., eye color, height)
- 14. A change in the DNA sequence
Down
- 1. Two identical alleles (BB or bb)
- 2. Deoxyribonucleic acid – the molecule that carries genetic instructions
- 3. All the genetic material in an organism
- 4. The physical appearance or trait (e.g., brown eyes)
- 7. A trait that shows up only if two copies are present (e.g., b)
- 8. A trait that shows up even if only one copy is present (e.g., B)
- 9. The genetic makeup of an organism (e.g., Bb, BB, or bb)
- 10. The passing of traits from parents to offspring
