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