Across
  1. 2. a genotype in which the two alleles of a gene are the same
  2. 3. a genotype in which the two alleles of a gene are different
  3. 6. in inheritance, both alleles can be observed in a phenotype
  4. 8. the principle, originated by Gregor Mendel, stating that when two or more characteristics are inherited, individual hereditary factors assort independently during gamete production, giving different traits an equal opportunity of occurring together
  5. 13. different forms of genes
  6. 15. a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant factor
  7. 16. a molecule made of a nitrogen base, a sugar, and a phosphate group
  8. 17. sections of DNA on chromosomes that have genetic information for one trait
  9. 21. the process of making a protein from RNA
  10. 22. the study of how traits are passed from parents to offspring
  11. 23. a permanent change in the sequence of DNA, or the nucleotides, in a gene or a chromosome
Down
  1. 1. an inheritance pattern in which multiple genes determine the phenotype of a trait
  2. 4. how a trait appears or is expressed
  3. 5. the process of making mRNA from DNA
  4. 7. a genealogical table, chart, list, or record, especially of a purebred animal
  5. 8. the principle, originated by Gregor Mendel, stating that during the production of gametes the two copies of each hereditary factor segregate so that offspring acquire one factor from each parent
  6. 9. a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor
  7. 10. a model that is used o show the probability of all possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring
  8. 11. the abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid, an organism's genetic material
  9. 12. genetic analysis performed by Gregor Mendel, in which he made the two innovations of developing pure lines and counting his results and keeping statistical notes
  10. 14. distinguishing characteristics or qualities
  11. 15. the process of copying a DNA molecule to make another DNA molecule
  12. 18. ribonucleic acid, a type of nucleic acid that carries the code for making proteins from the nucleus to the cytoplasm
  13. 19. the alleles of all the genes on an organism's chromosomes; controls an organism's phenotype
  14. 20. the passing of traits from parents to offspring
