  1. 4. 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
  2. 5. alleles for different genes separate independently of each other, & therefore different traits separate individually from other traits
  3. 8. A small ring of DNA that carries accessory genes separate from those of the bacterial chromosome
  4. 12. 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
  5. 13. technique that allows molecular biologists to make many copies of a particular gene
  6. 15. when gametes are produced the two alleles for each gene separate
  7. 19. DNA produced by combining DNA from different sources
  8. 21. An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait
  9. 22. 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.
  10. 23. Sexual reproductive cell having the haploid number of chromosome
  11. 24. An organism that has two different alleles for a trait
Down
  1. 1. A process in sexual reproduction that involves the joining of male (sperm) and female (egg) gametes
  2. 2. Two or alternate forms of the same gene
  3. 3. An international collaborative effort to map and sequence the DNA of the entire human genome.
  4. 6. genetically modified organism; any organism that contains genes from other organisms; ex. glow in the dark mouse
  5. 7. An organism's genetic make up
  6. 9. the complete instructions for making an organism, consisting of all the genetic material in that organism's chromosomes
  7. 10. Allele that can mask another allele that codes for the same gene, represented by a capital letter
  8. 11. A diploid cell that results from fertilization
  9. 14. Enzyme that cuts DNA at a specific sequence of nucleotides
  10. 16. Allele that is masked by the dominant allele that codes for the same gene, represented by a lowercase letter
  11. 17. Breeding organisms with specific traits in order to produce offspring with desirable or identical traits
  12. 18. the passing on of certain characteristics, or traits, from parents to offspring
  13. 20. An organism's physical or external appearance
