|---|---|
| the different forms of a gene are called? | alleles |
| the likelihood that a particular event will occur is called? | probability |
| an organism with two identical alleles for a trait is called? | homozygous |
| if the body cells of an organism have 10 chromosomes, then the sex cells produced during meiosis would have? | 5 chromosomes |
| during protein synthesis, messenger RNA? | provides a code from DNA in the nucleus |
| the scientific study of heredity is called genetics-True or False? | True |
| an organism's physical appearance is the genotype-True or False? | False: the physical appearance is trait or phenotype |
| in codominance, neither of the alleles is dominant or recessive-True or False? | True |
| each transfer RNA molecule picks up one kind of protein-True of False? | False it picks up one kind of |
| mutations in body cells are passed to offspring-True or False? | False: Mutations in the sex cell are passed to offspring(children) |
| an organism with two different alleles for a trait is called? | heterozygous |
| a trait that always shows up in the organism when the allele is present | dominant alleles |
| a trait is hidden when the dominant allele is present | recessive alleles |
| an offspring of many generations that have the same trait | purebred |
| transfer RNA | |
| a change in the gene or chromosomes | mutation |
| a chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles | Punnett square |
| an organism that has two different alleles for a trait | hybrid |
| passing of physical characteristics from parents to offspring | heredity |
| when the egg and sperm join | fertilization |
| many genes joined together like a string | chromosomes |
| copies the coded message from DNA in nucleus and carries the message to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm | messenger RNA |
