Across
  1. 3. A specific sequence of DNA that encodes for a protein and determines a trait.
  2. 4. A heritable feature that varies among individuals, such as flower color.
  3. 7. A pattern where two dominant alleles are expressed distinctly and simultaneously in the phenotype (e.g., AB blood type).
  4. 9. Having two different alleles for a particular gene (e.g., "Pp").
Down
  1. 1. When a single phenotypic character is determined by the additive effects of two or more genes (e.g., skin color or height).
  2. 2. The transmission of traits from one generation to the next.
  3. 5. A variant form of a gene that affects how a trait appears (e.g., the allele for purple vs. the allele for white).
  4. 6. The particular physical location or "address" of a gene on a chromosome.
  5. 8. Each variant for a character, such as purple or white flowers.
  6. 10. The actual genetic makeup or combination of alleles for a trait (e.g., "Pp").
