Across
- 5. Thread-like structure made of DNA and proteins that carries genes
- 9. Observable characteristics or traits of an individual
- 11. Dominant genetic disorder that results in offspring having siz digits on their hands and sometimes their feet too
- 12. is only expressed if both alleles in the genotype are this type
- 13. Having two different alleles for a particular gene
- 15. Variant form of a gene
- 16. Segment of DNA that determines a specific trait/protein
Down
- 1. A heterozygous parent who is healthy but that has a recessive allele that can be passed on to offspring
- 2. Diagram used to predict the possible genotypes of offspring
- 3. Characteristic expressed even if only one copy of this type of allele is in the genotype
- 4. Manipulation of an organism's genes to produce desired traits
- 6. The deliberate breeding of organisms with desirable traits
- 7. A recessive genetic disorder that means the person produces a thick sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and blocks reproductive tubes and tubes in the digestive system
- 8. The pair allele a person has for each gene, written as a pair of letter
- 10. A permanent change in the DNA sequence that may lead to alterations in the structure or function of proteins
- 13. Having two identical alleles for a particular gene
- 14. Chart that shows the inheritance of a trait or condition within a family
