- 5. Allele: A recessive allele is a version of a gene that must be homozygous when inherited in order to be expressed in the phenotype. Hidden when other genes are present.
- 6. a distinguishing quality or characteristic typically one belonging to a person; A genetically determined characteristic.
- 8. a measure quantifying the likelihood that events will occur.
- 9. the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
- 10. Squares: a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment. Like a math matrix.
Down
- 1. the offspring of two plants or animals of different species or varieties such as a mule (a hybrid of a donkey and a horse). Mixed alleles, the dominant allele shows up.
- 2. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome. Represented by a letter, capital or lower case.
- 3. bred from parents of the same breed or variety. Same alleles
- 4. the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics; a person’s origins.
- 7. Allele: a variation of a gene that will produce a certain phenotype even in the presence of other alleles. Shows up over all the other genes
