Across
- 7. Substances like radiation, tobacco smoke, andcertain chemicals that increase one's cancer.
- 8. When a large portion of the population dies, and the frequency changed dramatically.
- 9. An organisms full set of genetic information coded in its DNA.
- 11. A mutated cell begins to divide uncontrollably.
- 13. Sum of all alleles that a population can possess.
- 15. A physical or chemical substance that changes genetic structure.
- 17. Small, circular DNA molecules that function like chromosomes.
- 18. A failure of the chromosome to separate.
Down
- 1. When just one nucleotide basee changes in the DNA chain.
- 2. The base shifts the whole codon.
- 3. A small population moves to a new area and allele frequency changes as this smaller group starts a new popuation.
- 4. Ebb of genetic material in a population.
- 5. Tipes of chromosomes, that don't usually participate in crossing over.
- 6. Process of using fragments of DNA to identify individuals.
- 9. Change in allele frequency based on random events.
- 10. Cells with three or more full sets of chromosomes.
- 12. Range of Genotype differences between individuals from the same gene pool.
- 14. Determining the order of nucleotides in an organism's DNA.
- 16. Malignant tumors are one form of this.
