The recessive is shown by using
What is lower-case letter?

This nitrogen base is in RNA but NOT in DNA.
What is uracil?
300
The study of how traits are inherited through the interactions of genes.
What is Genetics?
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.

Two different forms of a gene are called this.
What are alleles?
400
When a pair of chromosomes separate during meiosis the different alleles for a trait move into?
What is separate sex cells?
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.
