Across
- 2. Having inherited the same versions (alleles) of a genomic marker from each biological parent.
- 4. One of two or more versions of a genetic sequence at a particular region on a chromosome.
- 7. Large complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body.
- 9. A biological catalyst and is almost always a protein.
- 11. The basic unit of heredity passed from parent to child.
- 12. The process by which a cell makes an RNA copy of a piece of DNA.
- 14. Threadlike structures made of protein and a single molecule of DNA that serve to carry the genomic information from cell to cell.
- 15. The process by which a cell makes proteins using the genetic information carried in messenger RNA (mRNA).
- 16. Certain patterns of how traits are passed from parents to offspring.
Down
- 1. Made up of chromosome pairs of approximately the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern, for genes with the same corresponding loci.
- 3. Having different alleles for a particular trait.
- 5. A small RNA molecule that plays a key role in protein synthesis.
- 6. The process by which the genome's DNA is copied in cells.
- 8. The process in which cells make proteins.
- 10. The molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism.
- 13. A molecule that is present in the majority of living organisms and viruses.
