Across
- 3. are passed from parent to offspring according to the rules of Mendelian genetics.
- 5. changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations
- 6. the genetic constitution of an individual organism.
- 10. derived genetically from one's parents or ancestors.
- 12. relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents
- 13. having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes.
- 14. the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
- 15. protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
- 18. considered the father of genetics
- 19. a dense organelle present in most eukaryotic cells, typically a single rounded structure bounded by a double membrane, containing the genetic material.
- 20. is the molecule that contains the genetic code of organisms
Down
- 1. when a dominant allele, or form of a gene, does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele,
- 2. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
- 4. A trait that is not inherited; one resulting from the effects of the environment.
- 6. the genetic properties or features of an organis
- 7. a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
- 8. transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
- 9. having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
- 11. similar to homozygous
- 16. similar to heterozygous
- 17. one variant of a gene on a chromosome masking or overriding the effect of a different variant
