Genetics and Inheritance
Across
- 3. Mendelian law stating that two alleles for each trait separate during meiosis
- 4. Situation in which one allele is not completely dominant over another allele
- 7. Organisms with two of the same alleles for a trait
- 8. A person whose genotype includes a gene that is not expressed in the phenotype.
- 10. Traits controlled by genes located on X chromosomes.
- 12. The science of heredity
- 13. the law that states that genes separate independently of one another in meiosis
- 15. Another term for heterozygous organisms
- 17. The pair of alleles that an organism has (i.e. Xx, xx, or XX)
- 19. The occurrence of one or more extra sets of all chromosomes in an organism
- 21. Alleles that are masked in heterozygotes of a trait
- 22. Austrian monk whose experiments in breeding garden peas led to his eventual recognition as founder of the science of genetics (1822-1884)
- 24. A diagram that traces the inheritance of a particular trait through several generations
- 25. Alleles that control the trait that is shown
- 27. An alternative form of a gene.
Down
- 1. A condition in which both alleles for a gene are fully expressed
- 2. traits controlled by two or more genes
- 5. Organisms with two different alleles for a trait
- 6. A selective breeding method in whihc two individuals with different sets of alleles are crossed
- 9. The new combination of genes produced by crossing over and independent assortment
- 11. A selective breeding method in which two individuals with identical or similar sets of alleles are crossed
- 14. The process by which desired traits of certain plants and animals are selected and passed on to their future generations
- 16. The outward expression of a pair of alleles is known as that organism's (i.e brown hair, blonde hair, red hair)
- 18. the crossing of an individual of unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the unknown genotype
- 20. The passing of traits to the next generation
- 23. interaction between alleles in which one allele hides the effects of another allele
- 26. three or more forms of a gene that code for a single trait
