Across
- 2. the stage when the cell mostly performs its “everyday” functions
- 4. thread-like strands that contain hundreds, or even thousands, of genes.
- 6. The entire set of genes, including the specific alleles, found in an organism's DNA
- 8. The passing down of traits from parent to child
- 10. carry the information that determines your traits
- 11. the observable traits of an organism, such as appearance, behavior, or metabolism.
- 13. a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information
- 14. a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself
- 16. the process in which the cell divides into two cells
- 17. a number describing the chance that the event will happen
Down
- 1. the trait that can only be seen when two are present
- 3. when both alleles are the same
- 5. variations of a gene that can result in different traits in living things.
- 7. the study of how genes and how traits are passed down from one generation to the next
- 9. the genetic information inside the body's cells that helps make people who they are
- 12. when both alleles are different
- 15. the trait that will always appear
