Genetics
Across
- 3. the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics
- 4. the genetic constitution of an individual organism
- 5. a relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive one version of a gene
- 6. a pair of matching alleles, which are the two genes that control a particular trait
- 7. the extent to which something is probable; the likelihood of something happening or being the case
- 12. have a commanding influence on; exercise control over
- 13. bred from parents of the same breed or variety
- 14. Square diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment
- 15. a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person
Down
- 1. relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents, i.e., when not masked by a dominant characteristic inherited from one parent
- 2. refers to a pair of genes where one is dominant and one is recessive
- 6. the offspring of two plants or animals of different species or varieties
- 7. the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment
- 8. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome
- 9. dominance a genetic situation in which one allele does not completely dominate another allele, and therefore results in a new phenotype
- 10. the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another
- 11. a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring
