Genetics and Evolution
Across
- 5. differences of characteristics within a species
- 7. engineering a scientific process to change genes in an organism e.g. to make bacteria produce insulin
- 9. the process of producing offspring - can be sexual or asexual
- 10. the small parts of DNA that code for a particular characteristic
Down
- 1. slow changes to a whole species over a very long time e.g. humans developing big brains
- 2. selection when the most successful or strongest organisms survive and so are able to breed therefore passing on their genes e.g. giraffes with long necks
- 3. factors that affect an organism from the upbringing or surroundings
- 4. breeding a process humans do to breed organisms with particular characteristics e.g. potatoes that are disease resistant
- 6. characteristics that come from the genes from your parents
- 8. a set of values that help us decide what is right or wrong
