Across
- 3. the study of how genes and how traits are passed down from one generation to the next
- 6. a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person.
- 9. the inheritance of traits that are typically passed vertically from parent to child where both the parent and the child are affected by the trait or disorder that is related to that gene.
- 11. The genotype of an organism is its complete set of genetic material. Genotype can also be used to refer to the alleles or variants an individual carries in a particular gene or genetic location
- 12. a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
- 13. passed from parents to offspring and contain the information needed to specify physical and biological traits.
Down
- 1. The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is named after Reginald C.
- 2. a trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in the offspring
- 4. having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
- 5. the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
- 7. having inherited the same versions (alleles) of a genomic marker from each biological parent
- 8. the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another
- 10. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
