Across
- 3. The likelihood of a genetic outcome.
- 4. The physical appearance of a trait (e.g., brown eyes).
- 5. Having two different alleles for a trait (e.g., Bb).
- 6. A pair of chemical building blocks in DNA (A pairs with T, C pairs with G).
- 8. When both alleles in a pair are expressed equally (e.g., AB blood type).
- 9. The molecule that contains genetic information.
- 10. The genetic makeup of an organism (e.g., Bb or bb).
- 11. A version of a gene, such as dominant or recessive.
- 15. A change in the DNA sequence that can affect traits.
- 16. A structure in the cell's nucleus that contains DNA.
- 19. A chart that shows family relationships and how traits are inherited.
- 20. All the genetic material of an organism.
- 21. The part of the cell that holds chromosomes.
Down
- 1. When neither allele is completely dominant, resulting in a blend of traits.
- 2. An allele that is hidden by a dominant allele.
- 7. A chart used to predict the genetic outcomes of a cross.
- 8. An individual who has one recessive allele for a trait but does not show the trait.
- 12. A characteristic, such as eye color or height, passed from parents to offspring.
- 13. Having two identical alleles for a trait (e.g., BB or bb).
- 14. An allele that hides the presence of a recessive allele in a trait.
- 17. The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
- 18. A segment of DNA that determines a specific trait.
