Across
- 2. a version of a gene
- 4. An offspring produced by asexual reproduction that is identical to the parent.
- 8. a threadlike, gene-carrying structure found in the nucleus
- 10. a form of asexual reproduction in which the parent grows a new organism off of its body.
- 12. the passage of genetic information from one generation to the next
- 13. an individuals pair of alleles for a specific gene or group of genes that determine a trait
- 15. can either be recessive or dominant: has two of the same alleles for a specific trait
- 17. a form of asexual reproduction when a new organism grows out of the body of a parent organism.
- 19. a noticeable trait, or physical characteristic, of an organism
- 20. a specific characteristic that varies from one individual to another.
- 21. type of reproduction process by which a sperm cell from the male unites with an egg cell from a female to produce offspring that inherits traits from both
- 22. a complex molecule that contains all of the genetic information of the chromosomes.
Down
- 1. special cells contributed by each parent that contains half of the normal chromosomes
- 3. a trait that dominants over the other one
- 5. a diagram for showing the likelihood of each outcome of a breeding experiment
- 6. type of reproduction a process by which organisms make exact copies of each other without the union of gametes
- 7. a specific sequence of DNA that determines one or more traits
- 9. a trait that is "hidden" or covered up by the dominant trait
- 11. an organism that has two different alleles for a specific trait
- 14. the union of male sperm and a female egg to form a fertilized egg.
- 16. any new organism that is produced either sexually or asexually
- 18. relating to genes or heredity of traits
