Across
- 2. A diagram showing the occurrence of different phenotypes across generations.
- 3. Different forms or variants of a single gene.
- 4. When DNA is heated up to split the double strand.
- 6. (AA, or aa)
- 8. Father of modern genetics (last name).
- 10. Observed trait or characteristic caused by a particular genotype.
- 12. When discrete character states are exhibited.
- 15. Failure to separate sister chromatid pairs during meiosis, leading to gametes with irregular numbers of chromosomes.
