Across
- 4. the physical appearance of a trait
- 8. the inheritance of one gene doesn’t affect the inheritance of any other gene
- 9. a specific characteristic of an individual
- 10. when two different alleles are present, only one is dominant and will be expressed
- 13. alternative versions of a gene
- 14. a cross that predicts the outcomes of two separate traits (i.e. height and seed color)
Down
- 1. the genetic makeup of a trait
- 2. Mendel was the first person to study this branch of science using pea plants
- 3. the father of genetics
- 5. two of the same allele in a genotype
- 6. a cross that predicts the outcomes of one trait (i.e. height)
- 7. two different alleles in a genotype
- 10. the two alleles for each gene are placed in different gametes
- 11. an allele that will always overshadow another
- 12. can only be seen in a phenotype if there is no dominant allele
