These traits are established in the normal creation of DNA before birth. 

What are Inherited traits?

100

This is a small segment of DNA that will create the protein. 

What is a gene?

100

When neither allele is dominant, both alleles are expressed in the heterozygous phenotype.

Incomplete Dominance

100

DNA is condensed when going through cell division.  The name for this DNA structure is 

a chromosome

100

What two subatomic particles are found in the nucleus of the atom?

protons and neutrons

200

Traits that have many variations are ones that are controlled by 

Either polygenic inheritance or multiple genes. 

200

The total amount of genetic material in an organisms and the proteins that they code is known as the organisms what?

genome

In Incomplete dominance , if you have a blue flower and you cross it with a yellow flower, you will get this color flower in the heterozygous genotype. 

What is a green flower.

Genes code for the creation of what?

What are proteins

One of two variations of a particular trait that will be inherited from the parents. 

what is an allele?

300
If you have two alleles, one represents blue hair while the other represents purple hair, if you have a heterozygous organism that has blue and purple hair you would say this organism is ruled by what type of inheritance?

codominance

300

Movement of molecules from high to low concentration without the use of energy is known as 

diffusion

two alleles put together to code for a trait is known as a 

genotype

400

If you have a population of organisms.  They range in color from Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.  This organisms color trait would most likely be ruled by this type of inheritance.
