- 6. genetic makeup of an organism
- 7. physical characteristics of an organism
- 8. Two chromosomes in a pair – normally one inherited from the mother and one from the father.
- 10. specific characteristic of an individual
- 11. diagram that can be used to predict the genotype and phenotype combinations of a genetic cross
Down
- 1. one of Mendel’s principles that states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes
- 2. having two different alleles for a particular gene
- 4. Mendel’s second conclusion, which states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive
- 5. having two identical alleles for a particular gene
- 8. offspring of crosses between parents with different traits
- 9. sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait; factor that is passed from parent to offspring
