Across
- 4. Genes that are traditionally carried on the X chromosome i.e. he
- 7. Mendel's cornerstone for his theory of inheritance; states that factor pairs separate into gametes one factor for each gamete
- 10. A heterozygous organism exhibits a blend of two different allele traits
- 11. The appearance of an organism that is most likely found in nature
- 13. The "lesser" of the two alleles; represented by a lower case letter
- 14. When an organism has two of the same case "letters" for a trait
- 16. Mainly women that have a recessive allele for a trait but is overshadowed by a dominant one; passes on to offspring in greater chance
- 19. Second law of heredity; states that each factor pair divides freely from other pairs
- 20. Genetic technique to show the relative distance between genes on a chromosome
- 22. Gametes with recombined alleles that happen in reduced numbers from infrequent crossing-over
- 23. When one or more alleles are equally expressed at the same time; not a blend
Down
- 1. The physical look of an organism based from the alleles
- 2. States that the chance of two independent events happening together is the product of them happening alone multiplied together
- 3. Having two alternate alleles for a specific trait
- 5. Allele with the ability to mask its recessive counterpart; determined with a capital case letter
- 6. traits controlled by polygenes that are subjected to enviornmental influences
- 8. The alleles a zygote has at the time of fertilization; described with letters
- 9. Finds if the parent organism for a trait is dominant homozygous or heterozygous
- 12. Place where traits are controlled specifically on the chromosomes
- 15. Occurs when a certain trait is being influenced by two or more sets of alleles at the same time
- 17. When a gene has more than one effect
- 18. Used in genetic probability; lines up traits from the mother to the traits of the father to find the possible combinations
- 21. The existence of several alleles on the same chromosome
- 24. Organism that is heterozygous for two traits yet shows the physical appearance of the dominant allele instead while holding the recessive allele dormant
