- 2. have 2 copies of every gene that can interact if various ways
- 5. a change in one or more genes
- 8. the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
- 9. follow rules of probability (multiply percentages to find probability of inheriting multiple traits)
- 10. having two different alleles
- 13. 1 dominant allele overrides all others
- 14. inheritance of linked genes
- 15. a chart that diagrams the inheritance of a trait or health condition through generations of a family
- 19. color blindness, albinism, etc
- 20. having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes.
Down
- 1. location, structure (nucleotides that code for a protein)
- 3. 0 dominant alleles
- 4. used to predict offspring
- 6. 2+ dominant alleles
- 7. the genetic constitution of an individual organism
- 11. the failure of one or more pairs of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate normally during nuclear division, usually resulting in an abnormal distribution of chromosomes in the daughter nuclei.
- 12. the production by a single gene of two or more apparently unrelated effects.
- 16. different versions of a gene
- 17. the genetic properties or features of an organism, characteristic, etc.
- 18. one of the pairs of inherited traits will be dominant and the others recessive unless both the factors are recessive.
