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