Across
- 2. Is expressed in an organism even when only one allele is inherited; overpowers the other allele.
- 3. Different versions of a gene.
- 5. Having two different alleles for a particular gene.
- 7. A variation type with distinct, separate categories or forms, with no intermediate states.
- 11. Reproduction that is beneficial in environments where adaptability and genetic diversity are key for survival, but it requires more energy and time.
- 12. Characteristics passed from parents to offspring, determined by genes.
Down
- 1. A cell that has two sets of chromosomes, like human somatic cells.
- 4. A variation type in which a trait has a range of forms, with gradual differences.
- 6. A segment of DNA that contains a code for a specific characteristic (trait).
- 8. Is only expressed when an organism inherits two identical alleles for that trait; is overpowered by the dominant allele.
- 9. Reproduction that is faster and more energy-efficient, making it ideal for stable environments, but it lacks genetic diversity, which can be a disadvantage in the long run.
- 10. A cell that has one set of chromosomes.
- 12. Having two identical alleles for a particular gene.
