Genetics & Heredity

5. the process by which a cell makes an RNA copy of a piece of DNA.
7. an acid in the chromosomes that's responsible for passing information about protein structure between different cells.
11. a table used to see all possible outcomes of a genetic cross.
12. a diagram or chart that depicts the biological relationships between an organism and its family.
13. an organisms complete set of genetic instructions.
14. the basic unit of heredity that occupies a specific location on a chromosome.
15. the process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

1. when the alleles from an organism's parent are both dominant.
2. the process of how a cell makes proteins by using the genetic information carried in mRNA.
3. when you can see a mixture of the alleles in the phenotype.
4. a change in a DNA sequence
6. a sequence of 3 consecutive nucleotides that codes for an amino acid or signals the termination of gene translation.
8. the central core of an atom.
9. the formation of an egg and sperm cells
10. The process by which a gene gets turned on in a cell to make RNA and proteins.
