Across
- 1. Dominance Genes produce a trait somewhere in between the traits of the 2 parents
- 3. The genes responsible for a specific trait. What you cannot see.
- 5. The effect caused by a particular set of genes. What is physically seen.
- 7. A sequence of DNA that codes for a specific protein. Located on the chromosome.
- 8. When the 2 genes in a pair are identical
- 9. A gene that always shows itself. The presence of this type of gene will mask the other gene in the allele.
- 11. A characteristic of a species determined by specific genes.
- 12. One of the forms of a gene that controls a particular trait. Most traits are determined by 2 alleles, 1 from each parent
- 14. 2 dominant traits are present
Down
- 2. A chart that predicts the chances of offspring inheriting a particular trait from their
- 4. Dominant gene is expressed, unless not present, then recessive gene is expressed
- 6. Structures that carry the genetic information in the form of DNA molecules.
- 10. When the 2 genes in a pair are different
- 13. The phenotype of this gene is only present when the dominant gene in the allele is absent.
