  1. 4. Is a cell protein. Used in muscular contraction, cellular movement and helps contain the cell shape.
  2. 5. Having 2 of the same allele for a gene (GG, gg)
  3. 6. A characteristic or feature of an organism.
  4. 7. Both alleles mix and their offspring's features equally show both traits. (Cow with black and white spots)
  5. 9. Genetic makeup (GG) (Gg) (gg)
  6. 10. Is a trait that is only expressed when the genotype is homozygous (gg)
  7. 13. Activating protein of muscular contractions. Works with actin to create sarcomere.
  8. 14. When neither allele is fully dominant, so both alleles mix and their offspring has a blended phenotype.
  9. 15. Different forms of genes which can cause different forms of proteins which leads to variations in a trait.
Down
  1. 1. The physical look of the trait (blue eyes)
  2. 2. Found in the cell's nucleus. Made of bundles of DNA.
  3. 3. Having 2 different alleles for a gene (Gg)
  4. 7. The dominant variation completely masks the recessive trait (Gg)
  5. 8. Segment of DNA that provides code for proteins of cellular function.
  6. 11. Deoxyribonucleic acid, carries the genetic instructions for all living organisms.
  7. 12. Basic contractile muscle tissue unit. Made of actin and myosin, is responsible for muscle contractions.
