Across
  1. 1. the molecule of heredity that has a double helix shape
  2. 4. the passing of traits from parents down to their offspring
  3. 6. when DNA copies itself right before cell division
  4. 8. the segment of DNA that codes for a protein or polypeptide
  5. 10. the reduction division that makes haploid gametes
  6. 11. any change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA
  7. 12. the observable traits or physical appearance of an organism
  8. 13. the base pairing rule in DNA, ex. A with T and C with G
  9. 14. the type of RNA that carries the code from DNA to the ribosome (mRNA)
  10. 16. the Austrian monk guy who did all the pea plant experiments
  11. 17. the allele that shows up even if there's only one copy
Down
  1. 2. the different versions of the same gene
  2. 3. the recessive seed shape trait that Mendel studied in peas
  3. 5. the cell division that makes two identical diploid cells for growth
  4. 7. those thread-like structures made of DNA and Histone proteins
  5. 8. the actual alleles or genetic makeup an organism has
  6. 9. the basic unit of heredity that sits on chromosomes
  7. 12. the square thing we use to predict offspring genotypes
  8. 15. the monomer building block of DNA or RNA
