Across
- 2. type of allele that is visibly expressed in an organism. Represented by a capital letter (e.g. A)
- 7. different forms of the same gene (e.g. brown hair, black hair)
- 8. shortened DNA molecule
- 9. passing of traits from parents to offspring
Down
- 1. double strand shape of DNA
- 3. part of DNA between the strands. Provides genetic code
- 4. segment or part of DNA that determines an organism's traits (e.g. hair color)
- 5. characteristic of living organism (can be learned or behavioral)
- 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")
