Across
- 2. The alleles are different. For example, Ff
- 4. the situation in which the phenotypes produced by both alleles are completely expressed
- 5. Intentional breeding of two genetically different individuals.
- 9. The sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and determines a trait. Is passed from parent to offspring.
- 10. The physical characteristics of an organism; the expressed trait for a gene
- 11. One or two or more alternate forms of a gene for a particular trait
- 14. The passing on of physical or mental characteristics from one generation to the next
- 15. A chart that shows the presence of a particular trait according to the relationships in the family throughout multiple generations.
- 17. Genes for different traits are sorted separately, and the inheritance of one is not dependent on the other.
Down
- 1. The diagram that is used to predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in a genetic cross
- 3. Father of modern genetics
- 6. A form of dominance where the allele regarded as dominant completely masks the recessive gene.
- 7. The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics
- 8. Having two identical alleles for a particular gene
- 12. Parental genes are randomly separated into gametes; offspring only inherit one allele from each parent
- 13. A gene that is masked by a dominant gene
- 16. The genetic makeup of an organism. The two inherited alleles from each parent for any given trait.
