- 14. Having 2 different alleles for a trait.
- 15. A structure of DNA that carries genes.
Down
- 1. The process by which genetic information is passed from parent to offspring.
- 2. The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
- 3. The genetic makeup or combination of alleles for an organism.
- 4. A specific characteristic, EX: eye color, that can be passed to offspring.
- 6. Molecule that carries genetic information.
