100
Organisms that have two different alleles for a trait are called
What is hybrid or heterozygous
100
The passing of traits from parent to offspring.
What is heredity
100
The scientific study of heredity is also called this
What is genetics
100
Genotype consisting of two identical alleles
What is homozygous
100
This brings the code from the nucleus to the ribosome
mRNA
200
These are different forms of a gene
What are Alleles
200
These are factors that control traits
What are genes
200
This refers to an organisms genetic make up
What is a genotype
200
Genotype consisting of two different alleles
What is Homozygous
200
This translates the message, and collects amino acids
What is transfer RNA
300
A trait that will ALWAYS show up in an organism as long as it it present
What is a dominant allele
300
This is having two DIFFERENT alleles for a trait
What is heterozygous
300
This is a chart used to find all possible allele combinations in a cross.
What is a Punnett Square
300
This refers to an organism's Physical Characteristics
What is a Phenotype
300
Referred to as the "genetic blueprint" or code for an organism
What is DNA
400
A trait that is masked by a dominant allele
What is a recessive allele
400
This is having two IDENTICAL alleles for a trait
What is homozygous
400
Cross a homozygous tall pea plant (TT) with a homozygous short pea plant (tt)
What is (Tt)
400
This is a chart that shows and arranges chromosomes in order from largest to smallest
What is a Karyotype
400
This is a permanent change in an organisms DNA
What is a mutation
500
This is when an allele is neither dominant or recessive
What is co dominance
500
When a child shows traits that neither of the parents show Hint: (tt)
What is two recessive traits being passed by both parents
500
Amount of genes in a human
24,000 genes
500
Cells that do not have a specific function, and can therefore become any type of cell. Hint:(Research in this area is very controversial)
What are stem cells
500
Transferring genes from one organism to another to create a better version of its past form Ex. creating "super rice"
What is genetic engineering
