Across
- 3. when both traits show up in an organism when heterozygous (ex: a bird with red and gray spots on their wings)
- 6. the passing of traits from parent to offspring
- 9. when an organism has two different alleles for a trait (ex: Tt)
- 13. an allele whose trait always shows up in the organisms when the allele is present; represented with an uppercase letter
- 14. a tool used to determine the probability of offspring inheriting specific alleles/traits
- 15. the combination of alleles that an animal has (ex: Tt)
Down
- 1. when an organism has two identical alleles for a trait (ex: TT or tt)
- 2. when both traits blend in an organism that is heterozygous to make a new phenotype (example: wide tails and medium tails make medium width tails)
- 4. different forms of genes which can cause different forms of proteins, which lead to variations in a trait
- 5. an allele that is hidden whenever the dominant allele is present; represented with a lowercase letter
- 7. the way an individual looks for a specific trait (ex: Tall)
- 8. the differences within a trait
- 10. the study of heredity
- 11. a characteristic or feature of an organism
- 12. a certain region of a chromosomes that cause a certain protein to be made; is sometimes related to a certain trait
