Across
- 2. genetic makeup of an organism (abbreviated notation for allele combination ex. Tt, TT, tt)
- 3. trait always shows up when the allele is present (represented with a capital letter)
- 6. how likely an event will occur
- 9. The passing of physical characteristics from parents to offspring (one generation to another)
- 10. the factors that control the trait/The place on the chromosome that has the genetic information for one trait
- 13. a tool used to show the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross
- 14. different forms of the same gene (dominant or recessive)
- 15. trait is hidden when the dominant allele is present (represented with a lower-case letter)
- 16. organism with two alleles that are the same; also known as purebred
Down
- 1. physical appearance resulting from the genotype
- 4. inheritance pattern in which both alleles are displayed (e.g., FRFW = red and white chicken)
- 5. threadlike structures in the nucleus that contain genetic information
- 7. a physical characteristic such as height or seed color
- 8. organism with two different alleles (e.g., Tt)
- 11. scientist who studied genetics with pea plants - Father of Genetics
- 12. a change in an organism's DNA sequence
