Across
  1. 6. used to cut DNA into fragments
  2. 9. creation of proteins in the cells using DNA and RNA
  3. 10. the gene that masks a recessive gene, it will be expressed if present in the genotype. Use a capital letter to represent
  4. 11. genotype with two of the SAME alleles. Ex SS or ss
  5. 13. the actual genes an organism has. Ex. Gg
  6. 14. more than 2 alleles for a trait exists, still can only inherit 2. Ex: Blood type
  7. 15. choosing two organisms with desired traits to mate in hopes of getting that trait in offspring
  8. 17. a deliberate change or modification of an organisms DNA, usually used to enhance the organism
  9. 18. genotype with two different alleles. Ex. Ss
  10. 21. traits that are found on the leg of the X chromosome which the Y in men do not have
  11. 22. carries amino acids to ribosome to pair up with mRNA to create proteins
  12. 23. a change in part of or an entire chromosome
  13. 24. use of somatic cell nuclei to create an exact copy of an organism
Down
  1. 1. DNA that has been created by taking part of one organisms DNA and inserting it into another
  2. 2. technique used to observe a persons chromosomes
  3. 3. diagram used to predict genotype and phenotype of possible offspring
  4. 4. carries DNA's message/code for protein needed, out of nucleus and to ribosome
  5. 5. the act of tRNA bringing amino acids to ribosome to create protein
  6. 7. occurs during meiosis, homologous chromosomes cross and exchange information
  7. 8. the physical expression of genes. Ex. Gg=GREEN
  8. 12. the gene that will be masked. Lower case letter, Need 2 to be expressed
  9. 16. technique used to compare DNA of different organisms. Used to find common ancestors, solve crimes etc
  10. 19. the act of mRNA recording DNA's message/code for protein needed
  11. 20. a disease created due to a change in a whole or part of a chromosome
