Genetics

1. - A type of cell division where one cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
4. - A gene that expresses its trait even when only one copy is present.
6. - A molecule involved in gene expression and protein synthesis.
8. Drift - A mechanism of evolution that changes the frequency of alleles in a population due to random sampling.
9. - A sequence of three nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid.
12. - The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
16. - The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism.
17. - Different forms of a gene found at the same place on a chromosome.
18. - Having two identical alleles for a particular gene.
20. - A cell organelle that synthesizes proteins based on genetic instructions.
22. Code - The set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material is translated into proteins.
24. - The molecule that carries genetic information in living organisms.
26. - A gene that only expresses its trait when two copies are present.
27. - A technology used for precise editing of DNA sequences.
28. - The process where ribosomes convert RNA into proteins.

1. - A change in the DNA sequence that affects genetic information.
2. - The genetic makeup of an organism, determining specific traits.
3. - A visual representation of chromosomes arranged in pairs.
5. - The process of creating genetically identical copies of a biological entity.
7. - A thread-like structure made of DNA and proteins that contains genetic information.
10. - The building block of DNA and RNA, consisting of a sugar, phosphate, and base.
11. - A type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing gametes.
13. - The complete set of genes or genetic material in an organism.
14. - The study of changes in gene expression that do not involve changes to the DNA sequence.
15. - Having two different alleles for a particular gene.
19. Pool - The complete set of different alleles in a population.
21. - The process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.
22. Therapy - A technique for correcting defective genes to treat disease.
23. - The process of genetic transmission of traits from parents to offspring.
25. - A unit of heredity that is transferred from parent to offspring.
