Intro to Genetics

6. Always pairs with Guanine
8. A condition in which two alleles of a trait are different, one dominant and one recessive (ex: Rr, Aa)
10. A characteristic you can see, such as height or flower color
12. ___ Bases: Pairs of DNA bases that always bond together
13. Always pairs with Thymine
15. Double ____: The twisted, ladder-like shape of DNA
16. Having to do with genes
17. The molecule that stores genetic information

1. A 5-carbon sugar, such as that found in DNA
2. To receive something from parents or family members
3. ___ base: The part of a nucleotide that carries genetic information
4. A condition in which two alleles of a trait are both dominant, or both recessive (ex: RR, aa)
5. A version of a trait, can be dominant or recessive
7. The trait that requires the least amount of energy for the cell to produce, masks the recessive trait when present. Not always the most common trait!
9. The entire set of DNA instructions of an organism
11. The trait that requires two copies to be present before it is expressed
14. The study of heredity: how traits are passed from parents to offspring
16. DNA instructions for a trait
