- 2. The complete set of genes in an organism.
- 3. all of the genes in all of the individuals in a breeding population.
- 6. The female reproductive cell, developed in the ovary.
- 7. One of the most fundamental building substances of living organisms.
- 10. Pertaining to an individual or a condition in a cell or an organism containing two copies of the same allele.
- 12. One member of a pair or series of genes that occupy a specific position on a specific chromosome.
- 13. diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
- 15. small molecules that are the components of proteins and There are 20 different kinds of it in living things.
- 18. Involves two divisions and results in four daughter cells, each containing only half the original number of chromosomes-23 in the case of humans.
- 19. genetic change in a population of organisms that occurs over time.
- 20. cell formed by the union of two gametes the developing individual produced from such a cell.
Down
- 1. an organism's reproductive cells.
- 4. the likelihood that a specific event will occur.
- 5. DNA and histone proteins are packaged into structures called this.
- 8. Offspring that are the result of mating between two genetically different kinds of species.
- 9. A permanent heritable change in the nucleotide sequence in a gene or a chromosome and the process in which such a change occurs in a gene or in a chromosome.
- 11. the process of change in the genetic composition of a population due to chance or random events rather than by natural selection, resulting in changes in allele frequencies over time.
- 14. Any cell in the body except those directly involved with reproduction.
- 16. a large organic molecule that stores the genetic code for the synthesis of proteins.
- 17. A set of alleles that determines the expression of a particular characteristic or trait.
