  3. 8. shortened DNA molecule
  4. 9. passing of traits from parents to offspring
Down
  1. 1. double strand shape of DNA
  2. 3. part of DNA between the strands. Provides genetic code for DNA
  3. 4. segment or part of DNA that determines an organism's traits (e.g. hair color)
  4. 5. characteristic of living organism (can be learned or behavioral)
  5. 6. type of allele that is present at the gene level but will only show itself in the organism if there is a dominant allele present. Represented by a lower case letter (e.g. "a")
