Scientific Question Definition
Two alleles
One allele
Two genes
Structure (shape) of the 2 or more proteins that the trait is made of
Scientific Knowledge
Non-scientific question definition
Conclusion (claim)
Evidence
Two sets of genes
Allele definition
Protein
Heredity
One gene
The structure of the gene: size and base pairs it is made out of.
Hypothesis
1 set of genes
Trait
Created by genes in the DNA. Building blocks of traits
Number of genes for each trait that the offspring (child) has
Number of alleles (gene variant copy) each complex organism has for a trait
How genes are passed down from one generation to the next through sexual and asexual reproduction
Number of sets of genes that you get from each parent in sexual reproduction
Number of genes each parent passes to their child for each trait
Number of sets of genes that each organism has that codes for the SAME protein
This determines the function/type of trait (hair color, eye color, heart rate, etc) that is created.
Comes from observations during an experiment
Number of alleles (gene variant copy) you get from each parent during sexual reproduction
Each person has two gene "variant copies" for every trait. Each of these "variant copies" is this term.
Explanation of something that occurs that is testable. Done before you do an experiment.
This determines the structure (shape) of the protein
Based on observations and multiple experiments
Created when 2 or more different structured (shaped) proteins fit together. Used to distinguish species from one another & organisms from within the same species.
Non-feeling (rational) questions about the natural world and universe
Explanation based on experiments for why something is occurring.
