Genetics
Across
- 3. the genetic constitution of an individual organism.
- 5. the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
- 7. the likelihood of something happening or being the case.
- 10. a pair of genes where one is dominant and one is recessive — they're different.
- 11. recessive allele that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its paired allele is identical.
- 12. a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
- 14. bred from parents of the same breed or variety.
Down
- 1. allele an allele that produces the same phenotype whether its paired allele is identical or different.
- 2. the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
- 4. the action or process of fertilizing an egg, female animal, or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
- 5. the offspring of two plants or animals of different species or varieties
- 6. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
- 8. the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
- 9. Square a diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
- 10. When an individual has two of the same allele, whether dominant or recessive
- 13. a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person.
