  1. 2. the stage when the cell mostly performs its “everyday” functions
  2. 4. thread-like strands that contain hundreds, or even thousands, of genes.
  3. 6. The entire set of genes, including the specific alleles, found in an organism's DNA
  4. 8. The passing down of traits from parent to child
  5. 10. carry the information that determines your traits
  6. 11. the observable traits of an organism, such as appearance, behavior, or metabolism.
  7. 13. a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information
  8. 14. a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself
  9. 16. the process in which the cell divides into two cells
  10. 17. a number describing the chance that the event will happen
Down
  1. 1. the trait that can only be seen when two are present
  2. 3. when both alleles are the same
  3. 5. variations of a gene that can result in different traits in living things.
  4. 7. the study of how genes and how traits are passed down from one generation to the next
  5. 9. the genetic information inside the body's cells that helps make people who they are
  6. 12. when both alleles are different
  7. 15. the trait that will always appear
