Across
- 2. Different variations of genes
- 5. Both alleles are the same (RR or rr)
- 8. Physical characteristics that are determined by the alleles that are present in an organism
- 9. The traits/genes that are passed down from parent to offspring
- 11. Making something
- 15. Like a closed cookbook containing the recipes for different traits
- 17. Making a readable, useable copy of DNA. Happens in the nucleus.
- 19. DNA codes for...
- 20. The two DNA strands at the end of DNA replication are...
- 21. Reading the instructions from RNA to make protein. Happens in the ribosomes.
- 23. The study of genes (DNA), the traits that they code for, and how we inherit/obtain these genes and traits.
- 24. A<->T G<->C
- 26. The genes that determine the traits that can be present in an organism, represented by two letters
- 27. Each allele is different (Rr)
- 28. Determined by the proteins that are made/expressed by your DNA
Down
- 1. Matching, as in A matches with T.
- 3. The trait that will only be expressed if both alleles are the same allele
- 4. The shape of DNA
- 6. Three letter "words" in RNA. Most code for one amino acid.
- 7. The building blocks of DNA
- 10. A tool used to calculate the probability of an offspring’s inherited genotype and phenotype of mendelian traits.
- 12. The shape of RNA
- 13. A tool used to decipher which amino acid is coded for by each three-letter RNA sequence.
- 14. The trait that will always be expressed if even one of the alleles is different.
- 16. Condensed DNA
- 18. Like a readable, useable copy of DNA. A single recipe from the cookbook.
- 22. A section of DNA that codes for one specific trait
- 25. The building blocks of protein. The ingredients for the recipe.
