various forms of a gene, like R or r

the "building blocks" that get joined together by the ribosome to make a protein

the physical structure in a cell's nucleus that contains genes

Directions for making proteins.

the allele that “wins”, like R

a unit of inheritance; it is the directions for making a protein

the gene pair an organism has, like Rr

The organelle that folds proteins into a shape that actually works.

it carries the protein making instructions from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

a letter in the DNA "alphabet" used to create the genetic code

Holds the genetic material (DNA).

A part of a cell that does a specific job.

how an organism looks, like red flowers

a molecule that does a job that helps keep an organism alive

a chart used to show all the ways alleles from two parents can combine and be passed to offspring

the allele that “loses”, like r

the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself before the cell divides

The organelle that helps make proteins by joining amino acids together.

the process of mRNA carrying the message from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm

it moves amino acids so the ribosome can join them together to make a protein
