Across
- 3. trait that can be masked or hidden
- 5. having two different alleles for a trait (Pp)
- 7. different forms of a gene (P or p)
- 9. a diagram/box method that you can use to predict possible offspring's traits, like when we made the baby monster
- 10. the segments of chromosomes that carry the heritable information
- 12. type of disorder that impacts males more than females since the gene is located on the X chromosome, like in the case of Muscular Dystrophy
- 14. having two identical alleles for a trait (PP or pp)
- 15. the physical appearance of an organism (purple or white)
- 16. trait that is always expressed if it is present
- 17. a characteristic that is passed from parent to offspring
Down
- 1. AB blood is an example of this, neither allele is dominant and both get expressed, not the same as blending though
- 2. a family tree that shows the inheritance or lack of a trait in a family
- 4. when the dominant and recessive alleles are both expressed and blending occurs, like in the case of snapdragons (Rr = pink or RW = pink)
- 6. the 23rd pair of chromosomes in humans
- 8. the genetic makeup of an organism (PP, Pp, pp)
- 11. the study of heredity
- 13. a picture of the homologous chromosomes arranged by size
