The variable we measure in an experiment. A different recipe that makes the same type of food The entire finished meal that is made up of 2 or more proteins: steak, potatoes, salad, and dessert Complete set of genetic instructions for making the entire organism A physical description or characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring. Ex: eye color, hair color, etc Total number of chromosomes in the cells of humans Base pairs that are used to make up the genetic codes or combinations of genes The building blocks of traits. Gives cells structure, shape, specific processes, and are involved in the expressions of traits. A synonym for a trait Where DNA is stored in Eukaryotic cells
