Across
  1. 4. technique that allows molecular biologists to make many copies of a particular gene
  2. 5. Allele that can mask another allele that codes for the same gene
  3. 7. genetically modified organism; any organism that contains genes from other organisms
  4. 9. A small ring of DNA that carries accessory genes separate from those of the bacterial chromosome
  5. 10. An organism's genetic make up
  6. 12. a bar code like picture that is created from a person's DNA and can be used to identify individual by matching their unique fingerprint to another sample.
  7. 14. DNA produced by combining DNA from different sources
  8. 15. when gametes are produced the two alleles for each gene separate
  9. 17. A diploid cell that results from fertilization
  10. 19. An organism's physical or external appearance
  11. 21. Procedure used to separate and analyze DNA fragments by placing a mixture of DNA fragments at one end of a porous gel and applying an electrical voltage to the gel
  12. 23. alleles for different genes separate independently of each other, & therefore different traits separate individually from other traits
Down
  1. 1. Allele that is masked by the dominant allele that codes for the same gene
  2. 2. Breeding organisms with specific traits in order to produce offspring with desirable or identical traits
  3. 3. An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait
  4. 6. A process in sexual reproduction that involves the joining of male (sperm) and female (egg) gametes
  5. 8. An international collaborative effort to map and sequence the DNA of the entire human genome.
  6. 11. pollen grains produced in the male part of the flower (anther) are transferred to the female part of the flower (stigma) during the reproduction of plants
  7. 13. the complete instructions for making an organism, consisting of all the genetic material in that organism's chromosomes
  8. 16. Enzyme that cuts DNA at a specific sequence of nucleotides
  9. 18. An organism that has two different alleles for a trait
  10. 20. the passing on of certain characteristics, or traits, from parents to offspring
  11. 22. Sexual reproductive cell having the haploid number of chromosomes
  12. 24. Two or alternate forms of the same gene
