  1. 3. Band on a chromosome that controls a trait; made of DNA
  2. 5. Genetic makeup of a person; your "letters"
  3. 6. Characteristics that can be easily observed
  4. 7. When two dominant alleles are equally as strong. Both traits are expressed in the offspring.
  5. 10. A version of a trait
  6. 11. An allele that always shows itself; represented with a capital letter
  7. 12. The allele that is hidden when the dominant allele is present; represented with a lower case letter
  8. 13. Characteristics that are determined by genetic factors and therefore able to be passed on from parents to their offspring or descendants.
  9. 14. Physical appearance of a person
Down
  1. 1. A chart used to show possible gene combinations for the offspring in a cross
  2. 2. The study of how traits get passed down from parents to children
  3. 4. Each allele in a heterozygous individual influences the phenotype resulting in a blend of the phenotypes of the parents
  4. 8. The molecule that contains the genetic code
  5. 9. Identical alleles for a trait(from mom and dad)
  6. 13. Different alleles for a trait(from mom and dad)
