- 3. The study of how traits get passed down from parents to children
- 7. Different forms of a gene
- 8. physical appearance of a person
- 12. When two dominant alleles are equally as strong. Both traits are expressed in the offspring.
- 13. characteristics which can be easily observed
Down
- 1. allele that always shows itself; represented with capital letter
- 2. allele that is hidden when the dominant allele is present
- 3. genetic makeup of a person; your “letters”
- 4. different alleles for a trait
- 5. Each allele in a heterozygous individual influence the phenotype resulting in a blend of the phenotypes of the parents
- 6. band on a chromosome that controls a trait
- 9. identical alleles for a trait
- 10. A chart used to show possible gene combinations for the offspring in a cross.
- 11. AKA deoxyribonucleic acid, the molecule that contains the genetic code
