Across
- 3. measure of the relative frequency of an allele at a genetic locus in a population; expressed as a proportion or percentage
- 7. physical appearance of an organism; result of the genotype; ex - tall, short
- 9. organisms that, when reproducing, create offspring of all the same variety; how Mendel described his parental plants in his experiments
- 10. passing of traits from one generation to the next
- 13. cross involving one trait/gene
- 14. alternative form of a gene; can be dominant or recessive
- 15. cross involving 2 traits/genes
- 16. receiving traits/alleles from both parents
Down
- 1. having the same two alleles for a trait
- 2. having two different alleles for a trait
- 4. the study of heredity
- 5. genetic makeup of an organism; ex: BB, Bb, or bb
- 6. diagram that can be used to predict the genotype and phenotype combinations of a genetic cross
- 7. likelihood that a particular event will occur
- 8. used to determine the genotype of an individual parent by crossing it with with a recessive genotype
- 11. stronger of two genes expressed in the hybrid; represented by a capital letter (ex. - R)
- 12. allele that is masked in a pair; represented with a lowercase letter
