Across
- 3. Parental generation, the first two individuals that mate in a genetic cross
- 4. Augustinian monk and botanist whose experiments in breeding garden peas led to his eventual recognition as founder of the science of genetics (1822-1884)
- 6. Both alleles (factors) for a trait are the same and dominant (AA)
- 8. Different forms of a gene
- 9. A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross
- 11. Both alleles (factors) for a trait are the same and recessive (aa)
- 13. the first generation of offspring obtained from an experimental cross of two organisms
- 14. situation in which both alleles of a gene contribute to the phenotype of the organism
- 15. The DNA on chromosomes is arranged into segments which control the production of proteins
- 16. the probable ratio of genotypes produced by a cross
Down
- 1. An inheritance pattern in which traits are controlled by genes located on the X chromosome.
- 2. An organism's physical appearance, or visible traits.
- 5. A pattern of inheritance in which two alleles, inherited from the parents, are neither dominant nor recessive. The resulting offspring have a phenotype that is a blending of the parental traits.
- 7. the characteristics expressed by individuals
- 10. the ratio of phenotypes that could appear in offspring
- 12. An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations.
- 13. the second generation of offspring, obtained from an experimental cross of two organisms; the offspring of the F1 generation
