Across
- 5. Dominant: carries two copies of the same dominant allele (HH)
- 6. trait characteristics that are passed down from your parents
- 7. Recessive: carries two copies of the same recessive allele (hh)
- 8. the genetic makeup of an organism
- 10. carry instructions that determine a person’s traits
- 11. Allele: two alleles are different/opposites
Down
- 1. one member of a pair of genes occupying a specific spot on a chromosome that controls the same trait
- 2. Square: diagrams that are used by scientists to find out if an offspring would have a particular trait (probability)
- 3. appearance of an organism or the trait you can see
- 4. Allele: both alleles are identical
- 9. is considered the “father of genetics?”: Gregory Mendel
- 11. Dominant: carries one dominant allele and one recessive allele (Hh)
