  1. 3. A cell that has a full set of chromosomes
  2. 7. Version of a gene that can be hidden; offspring must have two copies of this allele to show the trait
  3. 8. Having two different alleles for the same trait
  4. 9. A segment of a DNA strand that contains information for a single task or trait
  5. 13. A version of a gene that can cover or hide a different version of the same gene
  6. 14. Individual strand of DNA that is coiled and ready for cell division
  7. 15. Cell division to prepare for sexual reproduction
  8. 16. Different version of a gene
  9. 17. The physical traits you have based on your genotype
  10. 18. The process of two gametes joining to form a zygote
  11. 19. Having two copies of the same allele for a trait
  12. 20. Type of molecule that carries genetic information
Down
  1. 1. Reproduction using genetic information from two parents
  2. 2. All of the genes you have, whether they show or not
  3. 4. Each gene is inherited separately of genes for other traits
  4. 5. Offspring inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent
  5. 6. A cell that has only one copy of each chromosome; half the normal number of chromosomes
  6. 8. Chromosomes that have the same information in the same location; one is from mom, the other is from dad
  7. 10. Cell that undergoes rapid, uncontrolled mitosis and stops functioning as it should
  8. 11. Sperm or egg cell
  9. 12. Cell division for growth and repair
  10. 15. A change in DNA usually due to a miscopy during cell division
  11. 16. Reproduction using genetic information from only one parent
