Proteins that are structurally smaller
Created by genes of the DNA. Building blocks of traits
Many of the same traits like number of arms, legs, organs, etc.
How is the size of a gene effected by the amount of base pairs it contains? Controlled variable???
Structure (shape) of the 2 or more proteins that the trait is made of
How is the size of a gene effected by the amount of base pairs it contains? Independent variable???
Proteins that are structurally bigger
How is the size of a gene effected by the amount of base pairs it contains? Dependent variable???
Functional Traits
The structure of the gene: size and base pairs it is made out of.
Behavioral traits
Fewer of the same traits like number of arms, legs organs, etc.
Proteins with the same shape/structure AND function
Trait
Structural Traits
Proteins with different shapes/structures AND functions
Genes made of more base pairs will make...
Protein
Traits that have to do with how the different parts within the organism work to keep the organism alive (breathing, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, circulatory system, etc)
Number of base pairs
Traits that have to do with how an organism or species acts/what the organism does (sounds, actions, tendencies, etc)
Type of organism
Organisms of the same species share...
This determines the function/type of trait (hair color, eye color, heart rate, etc) that is created.
Traits that have to do with the shape or look of the parts that an organism is made out of (organ shapes, sizes, eye color, number of limbs, shape of limbs, etc)
Created when 2 or more different structured (shaped) proteins fit together. Used to distinguish species from one another & organisms from within the same species.
Size of a gene
Organisms from different species share...
This determines the structure (shape) of the protein
Genes made of the same bases will make this...
Genes made of fewer base pairs will make...
Genes made of different bases will make this...
