This allele is hidden whenever a dominant

allele is present

These are the different forms of a gene

The passing of physical characteristics from parents to offspring

This is the word scientists use for the factors that control a

trait

The process where sex cells join to form a new

organism

If an organism has two identical alleles for a

trait it is this

This is a chart that shows all the possible

combinations of alleles that can result from a

genetic cross

This is the likelihood that a particular event

will occur

This is the physical appearance or visible trait of an organism

If an allele is neither dominant nor recessive

it is said to be this

Genes are carried from parents to their

offspring on these

These types of cells have 1/2 the number of

chromosomes

At the end of cell division there are this many sex cells created from the original cell

The body cells of humans have this many

chromosome pairs

This process reduces the number of chromosomes

in a cell by one half

These organelles connect to RNA to

form proteins

In the genetic code, a group of this many

DNA bases codes for a specific amino acid

This type of RNA copies the coded

message from the DNA in the nucleus

In RNA, Adenine pairs with this base

Transfer RNA brings these to the ribosomes

This is the scientific study of heredity

If an organism has two different alleles for a

trait

This is the term used to describe an organism’s

genetic make-up or allele combination

The different forms of a characteristic, such as stem height or seed

color

These are the three types of mutations that

can occur in DNA
