Genetic Inheritance Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• phenotype: the observable traits of an organism.
• monohybrid: a cross between individuals that involves one trait.
• codominance: the type of inheritance where both alleles are fully expressed in the phenotype.
• polygenic: a type of genetic inheritance involving multiple genes affecting a single trait.
• genotype: the genetic makeup of an organism, represented by alleles.
• epistasis: one gene's expression is dependent on another gene.
• incomplete: second part dominance. an inheritance pattern where one trait is not completely dominant over another, resulting in a blend.
• test cross: a cross between a homozygous recessive individual and an individual with an unknown genotype.
• locus: the physical location of a gene on a chromosome.
• homozygous: the term for two alleles that are the same at a particular gene locus.
• independent: second part assortment. the principle that alleles segregate independently during gamete formation.
• dihybrid: the term for the genetic makeup resulting from a cross involving multiple traits.
• segregation: mendel's law stating that alleles for a trait separate independently during gamete formation
