2. This allele is hidden whenever a dominant allele is present

3. These are the different forms of a gene

4. The passing of physical characteristics from parents to offspring

5. This is the word scientists use for the factors that control a trait

6. The process where sex cells join to form a new organism

7. If an organism has two identical alleles for a trait it is this

8. This is a chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross

9. This is the likelihood that a particular event will occur

10. This is the physical appearance or visible trait of an organism

11. If an allele is neither dominant nor recessive it is said to be this

12. Genes are carried from parents to their offspring on these

13. These types of cells have 1/2 the number of chromosomes

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

15. The body cells of humans have this many chromosome pairs

16. This process reduces the number of chromosomes in a cell by one half

17. These organelles connect to RNA to form proteins

18. In the genetic code, a group of this many DNA bases codes for a specific amino acid

19. This type of RNA copies the coded message from the DNA in the nucleus

20. In RNA, Adenine pairs with this base

21. Transfer RNA brings these to the ribosomes

22. This is the scientific study of heredity

23. If an organism has two different alleles for a trait

24. This is the term used to describe an organism’s genetic make-up or allele combination

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

26. These are the three types of mutations that can occur in DNA
