Across
  1. 2. Type of cell division done within gametes where the offspring receives half of each parents' DNA
  2. 4. two different alleles in a gene
  3. 6. Two identical alleles in a gene
  4. 9. Cell with two complete sets of chromosomes
  5. 10. Basic units of heredity passed from parent to offspring
  6. 11. Chains of amino acids that are the driving force behind most bodily functions
  7. 12. Traits that are masked by dominant traits form alleles
  8. 13. The act of RNA bringing genetic code to the ribosome that then codes for proteins
  9. 16. Nucleic acid that holds genetic information(located in Nucleus)
  10. 17. Proteins that act as catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions
  11. 18. A reproductive cell in an animal or plant
Down
  1. 1. Type of cell division done within somatic cells that results in identical parents and offspring
  2. 3. Coils of DNA that are found in the nucleus of the cell
  3. 5. The genetic makeup of an organism
  4. 7. the result of sexual or asexual reproduction, making new life
  5. 8. The act of transferring code from DNA to RNA
  6. 9. Trait that masks recessive traits from alleles
  7. 11. An observable trait that results from the genotypes
  8. 14. Nucleic acid that copies the coding from DNA and brings it to the Ribosome
  9. 15. Copies/variations of the same gene
