Across
  1. 3. molecule that carries the instructions for one specific protein
  2. 5. All of the genes contained in the DNA of an organism
  3. 7. Different versions of the same gene
  4. 8. Section of DNA that codes for a protein
  5. 9. Can be qualitative(such as eye color)or quantitative(such as height or blood pressure and is part of an individual's overall phenotype.
  6. 11. The alleles that are present for a specific gene.
  7. 12. Two different alleles (different sizes) for a gene
  8. 14. Allele that is expressed (seen) if one copy is present, represented by an uppercase letter
Down
  1. 1. DNA packaged neatly and organized for division
  2. 2. This molecule is produced when a gene is expressed
  3. 3. Allele that is not expressed (seen) unless there are two copies present, represented by a lowercase letter
  4. 4. The number and order of these will determine the allele for a gene
  5. 6. The trait that is observed or seen in an organism as a result of a specific gene
  6. 10. Two identical alleles (same size) for a gene
  7. 13. molecule that carries the instructions to make proteins for organisms
  8. 15. The number of copies or alleles present for each gene in an organism that reproduces sexually
