Across
- 3. Discrete version of the same gene
- 4. genetic information ,found inside the cell nucleus
- 6. three nucleotides on RNA that code for a single amino acid
- 9. Cell duplicates it's DNA, Complementary strands
- 11. Two alleles that are the same for a trait
- 12. Trait that always shows. Can hide a recessive trait.
- 13. When homologous chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis, this leads to genetic disorders
- 18. a pair of chromosomes, one from each parent, which carry genes for the same trait
Down
- 1. DNA copied to complementary RNA strand
- 2. Two different alleles for a trait
- 5. makes up DNA and RNA, backbone (phosphate and sugar); nitrogen base
- 6. Homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatins during meiosis
- 7. The genes of an organism for one specific trait, always expressed using 2 letters
- 8. process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell
- 10. RNA codons are decoded into amino acids, using a codon chart
- 14. refers to a cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes
- 15. The physical appearance of a trait in an organism, what it looks like
- 16. refers to a cell that contains only a single set of genes
- 17. Trait that can be hidden.
