Across
- 5. created by sexual reproduction because there are different possible allele combinations that can be inherited
- 9. reproduction where one parent clones itself passing on all of it's genetic information to its offspring; does not create genetic variation
- 10. the process of organisms or certain traits in organisms increasing or decreasing overtime when there is a change in their environment
- 11. genes that code for the same trait; can be dominant or recessive
- 13. we are mostly made of this; different variations create all of our traits
Down
- 1. contained in the nucleus, and made of DNA, these contain all genetic code needed for all cellular processes
- 2. a "typo" in the DNA replication process that creates a change in the genetic code
- 3. reproduction where two parents each pass on one set of alleles to their offspring; creates genetic variation
- 4. an allele that will "override" a recessive allele
- 6. a part of a chromosome that contains a specific sequence of DNA that contains the code for a specific protein
- 7. a characteristic
- 8. an allele that will only be allowed to code for a trait if there are not any dominant alleles
- 12. deoxyribonucleic acid; the special self-replicating molecule that makes up chromosomes
