200
The way an organism physically looks or behaves.
What is phenotype?
200
A hypothesis that has been tested many times and proven correct.
What is a theory?
200
Specialized part in a cell that performs a specific function.
What is an organelle?
200
Scientific effort to determine the approximately 3 billion nucleotide base sequences of every human gene.
What is genetic engineering?
200
Formed by several related food chains.
What is a food web?
300
The gene combination of an organism.
What is genotype?
300
The variable that is purposefully changed by the experimenter.
What is the independent variable?
300
Cell with a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles.

300
Circular pieces of bacterial DNA.
What is human genome?
300
Nonliving elements in an ecosystem.
What are abiotic factors?
400
When neither gene is dominant and the two genes mix together to form a third phenotype.
What is incomplete dominance?
400
A testable explanation about the relationship between variables.
What is a hypothesis?
400
Simple cell without a nucleus or other membrane bound organelles.
What is prokaryote?
400
Short sequence of unpaired DNA nitrogen bases created when restriction enzymes cleave DNA.

400
Components of the environment that restrict the growth of populations.

500
When both genes are dominant and both phenotypes appear.
What is codominance?
500
All factors stay the same and have a fixed value.

500
Used to transfer genes from one organism to another during genetic engineering procedures.
