Across
  1. 5. created by sexual reproduction because there are different possible allele combinations that can be inherited
  2. 9. reproduction where one parent clones itself passing on all of it's genetic information to its offspring; does not create genetic variation
  3. 10. the process of organisms or certain traits in organisms increasing or decreasing overtime when there is a change in their environment
  4. 11. genes that code for the same trait; can be dominant or recessive
  5. 13. we are mostly made of this; different variations create all of our traits
Down
  1. 1. contained in the nucleus, and made of DNA, these contain all genetic code needed for all cellular processes
  2. 2. a "typo" in the DNA replication process that creates a change in the genetic code
  3. 3. reproduction where two parents each pass on one set of alleles to their offspring; creates genetic variation
  4. 4. an allele that will "override" a recessive allele
  5. 6. a part of a chromosome that contains a specific sequence of DNA that contains the code for a specific protein
  6. 7. a characteristic
  7. 8. an allele that will only be allowed to code for a trait if there are not any dominant alleles
  8. 12. deoxyribonucleic acid; the special self-replicating molecule that makes up chromosomes
