Mendel with a P
An organism's physical appearance is called this.
What is a phenotype?
The number of cells resulting from Mitosis.
What is two?

What is a mutation?
Mendel used a "T" to show the dominant allele for height, meaning tall. He used this letter to show the recessive allele.

What are the nitrogen bases in DNA
Adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine?
This cell organelle creates energy for the cell
What is the mitochondria?
The notation "TT" or "AA" means there are this many dominant alleles in a genotype.
What is 2 (two)?
An organism's gene combination is called this.
What is a genotype?
The process by which a cells nucleus duplicates is called what?
What is mitosis?
These are the building blocks of proteins
What are amino acids?
Name a non-renewable energy source

This is the probability of producing a tall pea plant from a genetic cross between two hybrid tall (Tt) pea plants.
What is 50% (or two out of four)?
Different forms of a trait are called this. (A _ _ _ _ _ _)
What are alleles?
The number of chromosomes in a cat
What is 38?
This helper transports the protein "blue prints" from the DNA to the ribosomes.
What is messenger RNA?
This type of trait is represented by a capital letter
What is dominant?
