Mendel
Gregor Mendel is known as "the Father of..."?
Genetics
The chart that shows all of the possible results of a genetic cross
Punnett Square
Different forms of a trait
Allele
The number of strands in RNA
One
Mendel studied this type of plant
Pea plants
Passing of physical characteristics from parents to offspring.
Heredity
Two of the same allele
Homozygous
mRNA or messenger RNA
Plants that repeatedly had the same trait for generations, Mendel called...
(hint: It is like homozygous)
Purebred
Represented by a capital letter, always shows up when it is present
Dominant Allele
One of each allele
Heterozygous
The type of RNA that brings amino acids to the ribosome and builds proteins
tRNA or Transfer RNA
When Mendel bred together plants that showed 2 different traits, he called this cross...
(hint: it's like heterozygous)
Hybrid
Represented by a lowercase letter, will only show up if there is 2 of them present
Recessive Allele
The amount of chromosomes in the human body
46
The nucleotide that is exclusive to RNA
Uracil
Factors that control a trait
Gene
G = Brown eyes
g = blue eyes
What would a homozygous recessive genotype be?
gg
Genes are carried on this structure
(hint: it is made of DNA)
Chromosome
When the RNA sequence experiences an error such as substitution, deletion, or addition
Mutation
