Across
- 4. inherited characteristics of an organism
- 6. genetic makeup for that trait
- 7. study of how traits are passed from parent to offspring
- 10. physical expression of a trait as a result of the genotype
- 11. paired genes for a trait are the same
- 12. tool used to display the potential genotypes offspring from a particular genetic cross
- 13. one of many portions of DNA molecule that contains genetic info
Down
- 1. discredited theory of inheritance that claimed genetic material for a trait in an offspring had to be an equal combo of features from both parents
- 2. mathematical chance an event can occur
- 3. paired genes for a trait are different, often referred to as a hybird
- 5. gene that is not expressed when dominant is resent, only expressed phenotypically when both genes in a pair are recessive
- 8. alternative forms of a gene found at the same place on a chromosome
- 9. gene that is expressed over the recessive form and determines the phenotype
