100
Gregor Mendel did this to pea plants to study different characteristics
What is CROSS-POLINATION
100
An organism's physical appearance is called this.
What is a phenotype?
100
The number of cells resulting from Meiosis.
What is four?
100
What the DNA does in the first step of protein synthesis.
What is unzip?
100
Any change in a gene or chromosome is called this.
What is a mutation?
200
Mendel used T to show the dominant allele for height, meaning tall. He used this letter to show the recessive allele.
What is t
200
This is the term that refers to the physical characteristics that are studied in genetics.
What is a trait?
200
The number of chromosomes in a sex cell as compared to a body cell.
What is half?
200
The order of nitrogen bases along a gene determines this.
What is the genetic code?
200
This nitrogen base is in RNA but NOT in DNA.
What is uracil?
300
The notation TT or AA to a geneticist means there are this many dominant alleles in a genotype.
What is 2 (two)
300
An organism's genetic type is called this.
What is a genotype?
300
The process by which chromosome pairs separate and are distributed into new sex cells is called this.
What is meiosis?
300
The order of bases along a gene determines the order in which these are put together to form a protein.
What is amino acids?
300
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait is called this.
What is homozygous
400
This is the probability of producing a tall pea plant from a genetic cross between two hybrid tall pea plants
What is 50% (or two in four)
400
Two different forms of a gene are called this.
What are alleles?
400
The number of times a gamete (sex) cell goes through division?
What is two times?
400
This copies the coded message from the DNA and carries it into the cytoplasm.
What is messenger RNA?
400
If this type of allele is present, its trait will appear in the organism.
What is dominant?
500
Gregor Mendel, in addition to studying pea plants, was this religious leader.
What is a priest?
500
An organism with two different alleles is called this.
What is a hybrid?
500
Spell the word for the division of a gamete cell into multiple gamete (sex) cells.
What is M-E-I-O-S-I-S
500
This carries amino acids and adds them to the growing proteins.
What is transfer RNA?
500
Genes are carried from the parent to the offspring on structures called this.
