Across 5. the passing of genetic material to offspring 6. one set of instructions for inherited traits 8. situation where the allelles are different 9. a composition of numbers using division 10. a characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes 11. a diagram that shows the occurence of a genetic trait in several generations of a family 13. strong form of a gene where trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present 15. an organisms appearance or physical trait,or other detectable traits 16. rod shaped structure in a nucleus of a cell that are made up of DNA which carries the information that is passed on from parents to offspring 17. normal differences that occur between individuals in a population caused by genetic differences 18. the entire genetic makeup of an organism,also the combination of genes for one or more specific traits

Down 1. situation where both alleles are the same either dominant or recessive 2. weak form of a gene that is masked when a dominant allele is present 3. type of asexual reproduction where lost or damaged body part grows back 4. describes an allele that will be masked unless the organism is homozygous for the trait 7. one of the alternative forms of a gene that governs a characteristic 11. a graphic used to predict the results of a genetic cross 12. deoxyribonucleic acid,a molecule that is present in all living cells and that contains the information that determines the traitthat a living thing inherits and nees to live 14. in genetics,describes an allele that is fully expressed whenever the allele is present in an individual
