Human Genetics
Across
- 3. inherited physical characteristics
- 6. chemicals that mimic a neurotransmitter at the receptor site
- 7. proteins on the cell surface where neurotransmitters attach, vary in shape, with different shapes “matching” different neurotransmitters
- 8. the central building blocks of the nervous system
- 9. blocks or impedes the normal activity of a neurotransmitter at the receptor
- 10. specific version of a gene
- 11. state of equilibrium or balance
Down
- 1. the genetic makeup of that individual
- 2. long strings of genetic material known as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
- 4. studies how the same genotype can be expressed in different ways
- 5. sudden, permanent change in a gene
- 8. how the nervous system can change and adapt
