Across
- 3. part of a chromosome that encodes an RNA or protein product in its DNA sequence
- 4. a type of dominance one allele is not fully dominant over the other so the heterozygous phenotype is an intermediate blend between the two homozygous phenotypes
- 7. a type of cross between two individuals identically heterozygous for one gene; for example: Aa x Aa
- 8. chart of family connections that shows the appearance of a trait through generations
- 9. a chromosome that is the same in males and females
- 11. diagram used to predict the genetic and phenotypic outcomes of a cross (no space in answer)
- 12. law that states the two members of each pair of genes on homologous chromosomes end up in different gametes during meiosis
- 14. law that states that during meiosis, members of a pair of genes on homologous chromosomes tend to be distributed into games independently of other gene pairs
Down
- 1. individual's observable traits
- 2. effect in which a single gene affects multiple traits
- 5. have identical alleles of a gene
- 6. effect in which the full and separate phenotypic effects of two alleles are apparent in heterozygous individuals
- 10. having two different alleles of a gene
- 13. the particular set of alleles that is carried by an individual's chromosomes
- 14. forms of a gene with slightly different DNA sequences; may encode slightly different versions of the gene's product
