Genetics: The Science of Heredity

The likelihood that a certain event will happen is called

Unlike DNA, RNA has the nitrogen base "uracil."

When a plant has two dominant alleles for tall stems, its alleles are written as

The cytoplasm is the part of the cell in which

The passing of traits from parents to offspring is called codominance

If the body cells of an organism have 12 chromosomes, how many chromosomes do sex cells have?

An allele whose trait always shows up in an organism when the allele is present is a

An organism's phenotype is its

An organism that has two different alleles for a trait is :

Punnett squares are useful because the show the

What is a change in a gene or a chromosome called?

The different forms of a gene are called:

Genetic material from two parents combines during sexual reproduction.

In chromosome theory of inheritance these are carried from parents to offspring on chromosomes 

The process by which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half to form sex cells is called

What happens in the first stage of protein synthesis?

Probability is a number that describes how likely it is that a certain event will happen.

For codominant traits, heterozygous organisms have a phenotype that shows

During protein synthesis the main function of genes is to control

A diploid cell contains one set of chromosomes.
