Gregor Mendel cross-pollinated these plants to study different characteristics

What are peas?

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

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

This structure is the site of protein synthesis.

The molecule that goes by DNA for short.

What is deoxyribonucleic acid?

200

The number of genes covered in the OncoPlex assay.

What is 373?

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 order of bases along a gene determines the order in which these are put together to form a protein.
What is amino acids?
300
This nitrogen base is in RNA but NOT in DNA.
What is uracil?

The probability of producing a tall pea plant from a cross between two heterozygous pea plants (tall is the dominant trait)

What is 75% (or three in four)

400
Two different forms of a gene are called this.
What are alleles?
400
This copies the coded message from the DNA and carries it into the cytoplasm.
