Across
- 2. AKA deoxyribonucleic acid, the molecule that contains the genetic code (a blueprint for who you are)
- 4. Different forms of a gene (Example: Gene: eye color)
- 6. A chart used to show possible gene combinations for the offspring in a cross.
- 9. different alleles for a trait(from mom &dad)
- 10. identical alleles for a trait(from mom & dad)
- 11. Band on a chromosome that controls a trait. Made up of DNA
- 13. allele that is hidden when the dominant allele is present; represented with lower case letter
- 14. characteristics that can be easily observed For example:eye color, height, skin
Down
- 1. Each allele in a heterozygous individual influences the phenotype resulting in a blend of the phenotypes of the parents
- 3. genetic makeup of a person; your “letters”
- 5. allele that always shows itself; represented with a capital letter
- 7. physical appearance of a person
- 8. When two dominant alleles are equally as strong. Both traits are expressed in the offspring.
- 12. The study of how traits get passed down from parents to children (offspring)
