Heredity Crossword

the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
the resting phase between successive mitotic divisions of a cell, or between the first and second divisions of meiosis.
a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells.
semen
a medical condition in which the ability of the blood to clot is severely reduced, causing the sufferer to bleed severely from even a slight injury. The condition is typically caused by a hereditary lack of a coagulation factor, most often factor VIII.
Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus. The first allele is dominant and the second allele is recessive.
a mode of inheritance in which a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype to be expressed in males
one of several ways that a trait, disorder, or disease can be passed down through families.
a severe form of muscular dystrophy caused by a genetic defect and usually affecting boys.
the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, for example a human cell having 45 or 4
A process of cell division divided into five stages
the material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria
a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
a condition in which an extra copy of a chromosome is present in the cell nuclei, causing developmental abnormalities.
a hereditary disease marked by degeneration of the brain cells and causing chorea and progressive dementia.
an individual or strain whose chromosome complement consists of more than two complete copies of the genome of a single ancestral species — compare allopolyploid.
cells and organisms are those containing more than two paired (homologous) sets of chromosomes
the number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism or species.
refers to a pair of genes where one is dominant and one is recessive — they're different
a particular gene that has identical alleles on both homologous chromosomes.
relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring
characteristics that are controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring even when inherited from only one parent.
one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
