Genetics
Across
- 2. a rod-shaped cellular structure made of condensed chromatin;contains DNA; carries trait information (eyes, hair, etc).
- 5. A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross
- 6. Passing of traits from parents to offspring
- 8. An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present
- 10. Process by which a single parent reproduces by itself.
- 11. A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait.
- 12. An organism that has identical alleles for a particular trait.
- 13. allele An allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present
- 14. An organism's physical appearance, or visible traits
- 16. A characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes.
Down
- 1. Process in which genetic material from two parents combines and produces offspring that differ genetically from either parent.
- 3. A molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes
- 4. Scientific study of heredity
- 7. Control center of the cell; contains DNA
- 9. a set organisms produced at a stage in the reproduction of organisms
- 10. Different forms of a gene
- 11. An organism's genetic makeup
- 15. An organism that has two different alleles for a trait
