  1. 6. The creation of gametes
  2. 7. Shifts the “reading frame” a string of nucleotides is “read” by either deleting or adding nucleotides.
  3. 8. the process of making an RNA copy of a gene’s DNA sequence
  4. 9. the process of translating RNA into amino acid
  5. 12. When the traits are expressed separately from each other.
  6. 14. Sperm and Egg cells
  7. 15. A variant form of a gene that is used to help distinguish an organism's DNA trait
  8. 16. When there is no recessive allele, both traits are expressed
Down
  1. 1. the process by which genes become proteins through transcription and translation
  2. 2. The pattern of predictability from parents to offspring.
  3. 3. When a single nucleotide is changed through means of substitution.
  4. 4. More than 2 alleles contribute to a gene
  5. 5. When chromosomes attach and swap genetic info. (in prophase 1)
  6. 10. When more than 3 genes contribute to a trait. ex: skin color
  7. 11. A frameshift mutation that results in an additional nucleotide(s) being added to the nucleotide sequence.
  8. 13. A single pair of alleles used in a Punnett square.
