Across
- 2. Having two identical alleles for a specific gene
- 4. The process by which genetic information is passed from parents to offspring
- 7. A single gene that influences multiple, seemingly unrelated physical traits or biological processes
- 8. An allele whose effect is hidden by a dominant allele and is only expressed when two copies are present
- 9. A specific section of DNA that carries the instructions to make proteins
Down
- 1. A trait that is controlled by multiple genes working together, such as human height or skin color
- 3. A variant form of a gene (ex: eye color)
- 5. Having two different alleles for a specific gene
- 6. An allele that masks the effect of another allele and is expressed in the phenotype even if only one copy is present
