Across
- 1. used to chart the position of known genes and other markers relative to each other
- 2. A laboratory method one or more genes of an organism and introduced to a second organism, the new genes become functional in the second organism and the second organism produces a desired product
- 4. the base pairs on your DNA and what they mean
- 6. a scientist that studies genes and their variations
- 8. the actual effect the genes and their dominance that show.
- 12. the basic units of heredity
- 13. the inheritance of a dominate and a recessive allele results in the blend of traits to produce intermediate characteristics
- 14. "molecular laborers" they carryout all life supporting activities in the cell
- 15. the study of the function and behavior of genes
- 16. the whole hereditary information of humans that is encoded in the DNA, completed in 2003, many countries and drug companies worked to complete this.
Down
- 1. a technique used by scientists to manipulate genes
- 3. combinations of genes that code for a trait
- 5. is used in the process of transcribing the DNA and using that process to replicate it and also produce amino acids from the DNA sequence
- 7. carrier of biochemical information and make up of our genes
- 9. any one variable in DNA
- 10. a very long piece of continuous DNA
- 11. describes the physical manifestation of that trait
