Across
- 5. the study of how traits are inherited
- 6. a section of DNA on a chromosome that contains the instructions for making a specific protein
- 7. a specific characteristic of an individual
- 8. two variations of a gene (known as alleles) are paired at the same location (locus) on a chromosome
- 9. specific pattern in a gene
- 10. when there are two copies of the same allele at the same locus
Down
- 1. the passing on of traits from one generation to another
- 2. factor that dominates, or covers up, another factor
- 3. the genetic makeup (combination of alleles) of an organism
- 4. factor that disappears if a dominant trait is present
