Across
- 2. single stranded
- 4. large complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body
- 7. the presence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism
- 11. contains 23 pairs
- 12. double helix
- 14. diagram of family history
- 16. the relationship between two versions of a gene
- 18. accelerate chemical reactions
- 20. a reproductive cell of an animal or plant
Down
- 1. a table in which all of the possible outcomes for a genetic cross can be determined
- 3. presence of two complete sets of chromosomes in an organism
- 5. serves as a link between the messenger RNA molecule and the growing chain of amino acids
- 6. the process a cell goes through each time it divides
- 8. carry the genetic information needed to make proteins
- 9. any of the body cells except the reproductive cells
- 10. cell division in which each daughter cell receives half the amount of DNA
- 13. made up of sequences of DNA
- 15. a trait that is expressed only when genotype is homozygous
