Genetics
Across
- 3. Assignment of DNA on the chromosome that codes a trait.
- 5. Genetic material that carries information about an organism.
- 7. The genetic constitution of an individual organism.
- 11. Generations alternate between cells with a single set of chromosomes and cells with a double set of chromosomes.
- 13. Structure in the cytoplasm.
- 15. Part of the cell cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.
- 16. Genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents.
- 17. A distinguishing quality or characteristic of an organism.
Down
- 1. Reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only.
- 2. The passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
- 4. Chart that shows all combination alleles.
- 6. Molecules on the DNA.
- 8. Relationship between alleles of one gene in which the effect on the phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus.
- 9. What you see.
- 10. The likelihood that an event will occur.
- 12. The different form of genes.
- 14. The process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells.
