Across
- 1. separation of allele pairs during meiosis so that they can transfer specifically to separate gametes.
- 3. structure found inside the nucleus of a cell.
- 4. reproductive cell
- 5. offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction.
- 6. study of how genes and how traits are passed down from one generation to the next.
- 9. physical trait.
- 10. 2 alleles of the same gene are expressed fully to yield different traits in an individual. (spotted animal or AB blood type)
- 14. Having different alleles for a particular trait. (Aa)
- 15. One of two or more versions of a genetic sequence at a particular region on a chromosome.
- 18. specific characteristic of an individual.
- 19. alleles of 2 or more different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another.
- 20. alternative forms of the same gene so they influence the same trait. (Blood types)
Down
- 2. both alleles of a gene are partially expressed, often resulting in an intermediate phenotype. (pink flower)
- 5. Having inherited the same alleles of a genomic marker from each biological parent. (AA or aa)
- 7. genetic makeup of an organism.
- 8. table where all the possible outcomes for a genetic cross between two individuals with known genotypes are given.
- 11. basic physical and functional unit of heredity.
- 12. Combining the male gamete (sperm) with the female gamete (ovum).
- 13. characteristic that is influenced by 2 or more genes. (skin color)
- 16. Recessive traits are always dominated or masked by the dominant trait.
- 17. The chance that a certain event will occur.
