Across
  1. 3. a specific form of a gene
  2. 8. When ONE parent creates an offspring that is genetically identical to itself (No spaces)
  3. 9. When both traits in a genotype are the same (Ex. GG)
  4. 11. Makes up DNA and contains information about traits
  5. 12. When the traits in a genotype are different (Ex. Gg)
  6. 14. when neither allele is dominant or recessive and both traits show up in the offspring
  7. 15. BasketBall player who was barred from the NBA because he had Marfan Syndrome
  8. 16. gentic information that is passed down from parent to offspring
  9. 20. When TWO organisms create offspring with a mixture of both parent's traits (no space)
  10. 21. Also known as the father of genetics, founded ideas of heredity and inheritance through his experiments with pea plants (No space)
Down
  1. 1. Animal named Dolly who was cloned by scientists in the 1990s (hint: what type of animal?)
  2. 2. when humans breed two organisms to create desired traits in the offspring (one word)
  3. 4. Genetic disorder that leads to long limbs, breakable bones, and sometimes an enlarged aorta (one word)
  4. 5. how an organism physically looks
  5. 6. Allele that is hidden or not as strong in a genotype
  6. 7. Genetically identical offspring resulting from Asexual Reproduction
  7. 10. Allele that covers up or is dominant in a genotype
  8. 13. The two alleles that make up the genetics of a specific trait
  9. 17. neither allele completely controls or succumbs to the other so the offspring ends up with a mixture of both traits (No space)
  10. 18. Organisms created through sexual or asexual reproduction
  11. 19. when an organism is able to asexually reproduce genetically identical offspring by growing it off of the parent
