Across
- 3. The study of genes
- 5. If an organism has at least one of these alleles present this trait will be present
- 7. Gene pairs separate during gamete formation so each parent passes down one form of gene to offspring
- 10. If an organism has two of these alleles present this trait will be present
- 12. Individuals have two of the same alleles for a given gene
- 15. The general trait that an organism exhibits
Down
- 1. The dominant allele will be expressed of present
- 2. Different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop
- 4. Tightly wound DNA, holds genetic information
- 6. Individuals have two different alleles for a given gene
- 8. Specific gene
- 9. Specific characteristic of an individual
- 11. The specific genetic makeup (Yy, YY ,yy, etc)
- 13. Founder of modern genetic science
- 14. Are made up of DNA
