This individual is given the nickname, the "Father of Genetics."

Who is Gregor Mendel?

100
An organism's physical appearance is called this.
What is a phenotype?
100

The is the shape of DNA.

What is a twisted ladder or a double helix?

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

A "T" is used to show the dominant allele for height, meaning tall. This letter is used 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

This nitrogen base is in RNA but NOT in DNA.

What is uracil?

200
The order of nitrogen bases along a gene determines this.
What is the genetic code?
200

This type of mutation in the DNA does not lead to a change in the protein's function.

What is a silent mutation?

300

The notation "TT" to a geneticist means there are this many dominant alleles in a genotype.

What is 2 (two)

300

An organism's genetic type (allele combination) is called this.

What is a genotype?

300

This is the type macromolecule both DNA and RNA are.

What is nucleic acid?

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

This is the name of the monomers of DNA and RNA?

What is nucleotides?

400
This copies the coded message from the DNA and carries it into the cytoplasm.
What is messenger RNA?
400

This is the shape that designates a male in a pedigree.

What is a square?

500

Two parents that are heterozygous for a trait are crossed. This is the percent chance they have a heterozygous offspring.

What is 50%?

500

An organism with two different alleles is called this. HINT: another name for heterozygous

What is a hybrid?

500

This is the name of the sugar found in RNA.

What is ribose?

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.
What are chromosomes?
