Physical characteristics/ traits of an organism.
phenotype
This gene always shows is self over a recessive gene
Dominant Gene
All human cells contain _________ chromosomes
46
An organism has 20% Guanine 30% Adenine 20% Cytosine and ____% of this nitrogen base?
30% Thymine
a capital letter represents ______ type of trait
Dominant
Cytosine and Guanine
genotype that has two of the same alleles
homozygous
type of genetics where both traits show.
ex. red and white flowers from a red flower parent and a white flower parent
co-dominance
Traits that are only passed down on the X-chromosome
type of non-mendelian genetics that have an in-between phenotype.
ex. Red + white flowers = pink offspring
Incomplete dominance
What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Genotype characterized by two different alleles for the same trait.
heterozygous
The process by which DNA is duplicated
Replication
Where are chromosomes located?
nucleus
What percent of the offspring of heterozygous parent will be homozygous?
50%
Chromosomes are made up of _______.
DNA
Who has the most NFL MVPs
Peyton Manning
Which molecule controls the production of protein in the cell
DNA
genes of a trait that is hidden when the dominant gene is present
recessive
What percent of the offspring of heterozygous parents will be heterozygous?
50%
The process by which organisms grow, replace & repair cells?
Mitosis
Enzyme that "unzips" the DNA for DNA replication
helicase
One of two or more forms of a particular gene
allele
What percentage of two homozygous dominant parents will be heterozygous?
0%
Tool that shows possible gene combinations
Punnet Square
The flow of information in genetics (Name the 4 steps)
DNA -> RNA -> Ribosome ->Protein
Carries instructions for making a protein to a ribosome
term for the group of three nucleotides of mRNA that will code for an amino acid
codon
The term for the genetic code (genes/ alleles)
ex. AA or Aa or aa
genotype
The four nitrogen bases found in RNA.
adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil
The production of mRNA from the code of DNA in the nucleus
Transcription
Location of:
A. Transcription
B. Translation
A. Nucleus
B. Ribosome
In Mitosis, How do the number of chromosomes in the 2 daughter cells compare to the parent cell
they are the same

Name the singer of these lyrics:
Remember when we couldn’t take the heat? / I walked out, I said “I’m setting you free” / But the monsters turned out to be just trees / When the sun came up you were looking at me
Taylor Swift
