- 2. the trait dominants over every other trait
- 3. One of two or more versions of a genetic sequence
- 6. The basic unit of heredity passed from parent to child
- 7. the cells in the body other than sperm and egg cells
- 11. a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes
- 13. both alleles of a gene at a locus are partially expressed
- 16. It is the carrier of genetic information.
- 17. a specific characteristic of an individual
- 19. an organism's reproductive cells
- 20. the traits in the gene that you cant see
- 21. needs two recessive traits to be more dominant then dominant traits
- 22. a characteristic, such as height or skin color
Down
- 1. patterns of how traits are passed from parents to offspring
- 4. Punnett squares provide information about offspring, pedigrees are diagrams that allow individuals to visualize patterns of inheritance throughout their family history
- 5. having two diffrent alleles
- 8. found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
- 9. two complete sets of chromosomes in an organism's cells
- 10. genes independently separate from one another
- 12. a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells
- 14. any observable feature, or trait, of an organism, whether acquired or inherited
- 15. the traits you can see
