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 Mitosis.

What is two?

100

A change to the genetic code of an individual.

What is a mutation?

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 reproductive cell as compared to a body cell.

What is half?

200

The order of nitrogenous bases (A's, C's, T's, & G's) along a gene on a DNA molecule.

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 cells duplicate their DNA and cell-parts, and then divide in two.

What is mitosis?

300

These are the building blocks of proteins. They are coded for by genes.

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 name of the main phase of a cell's life.

What is Interphase?

400

This molecule is a single-stranded copy of a gene, which then gets translated into an amino acid sequence.

What is 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 monk/priest? (apparently he was both)

500

An organism with two different alleles is called this.

What is a hybrid? (or heterozygous)

500

During Mitosis, these line up in the middle of the cell before being pulled apart.

What are Chromosomes?

500

This is the what it's called when Messenger RNA is created from an original DNA molecule.

What is transcription?

500
Genes are carried from the parent to the offspring on structures called this.
What are chromosomes?
