Across
- 6. a chart used to study genetic traits in humans and other long-lived organisms
- 9. the allele inherited for one trait is unrelated to the allele inherited for another
- 12. trait that does not appear when the dominant allele is present
- 14. the combination of alleles that the organism has for a particular trait
- 16. having two identical alleles for the same trait
- 17. using knowledge of genetics and heredity to produce desired characteristics by breeding organisms
Down
- 1. an offspring is equally likely to receive either allele
- 2. father of Genetics
- 3. trait shows up in the offspring
- 4. states that the dominant trait will show up even if there is a different trait present
- 5. a genetic engineering technique that would change a person's DNA to replace a disease-causing allele with a normal allele
- 7. a chart that helps us visualize all the possible combinations of alleles that could result from a cross
- 8. engineering the use of technology to produce desirable traits by manipulating genes
- 10. different forms of a particular trait
- 11. having two different alleles for the same trait
- 13. the appearance that results from the genotype
- 15. mathematical way to express the likelihood of an event
