Across
- 3. Most powerful and most influence. In genetics this characteristic will appear over other.
- 5. minimal influence. In genetics this characteristic does not appear (steps back) when combined with a more influential trait.
- 8. An organism that has two variants (versions) of a particular gene
- 9. The descendants / ancestors of an individual
- 10. The process whereby DNA makes a copy of itself before dividing.
- 12. A thread-like strand of DNA in the cell nucleus that contains the genes
Down
- 1. Making a copy and dividing of the nucleus of a dividing cell.
- 2. square diagram used to discover all the potential combinations to predict the genetic make-up of the cells during a breeding experiment.
- 4. Diploid chromosomes of a cell are replicated once, followed by two divisions of the nucleus, to give rise to FOUR haploid cells that may develop into gametes or spores.
- 6. Attributes or characteristics passed on through biology and genetics from the parents to the next generation.
- 7. The study of how characteristics and attributes are passed on from parent to offspring. Concerned with the influence of genes on appearance, development, and evolution of plants and animals.
- 11. An organism that has a single variant (version) of a particular gene.
