Genetics and Heredity
Across
- 1. two genes that code for the same trait; one is provided by the mother, the other is provided by the father
- 2. the passing of traits from parent to offspring
- 3. a type of allele that overwrites and is expressed over other alleles
- 5. a physical characteristic inherited from a parent
- 10. the study of heredity and variations in inherited traits
- 11. when two parents each provide a repoductive cell containing half the genetic material, creating an offspring that is a genetic mix
Down
- 1. when one parent uses a method to create a genetically identical offspring
- 4. moles that write the genetic code
- 6. a type of allele that is overwritten by other alleles and is only expressed if no other allele overwrites it
- 7. a threadlike structure made up of numerous genes
- 8. the brain of the cell that contains an entire set of chromosomes for organism
- 9. a sequence of DNA that codes for a specific trait
