Relier Pairs Flashcards - Genetics: Genes, Proteins, TraitsVersion en ligne Flashcards - Genetics: Genes, Proteins, Traits par Benjamin D Morgan 1 The structure of the gene: size and base pairs it is made out of. 2 Proteins with different shapes/structures AND functions 3 How is the size of a gene effected by the amount of base pairs it contains? Dependent variable??? 4 Structural Traits 5 Trait 6 Created by genes of the DNA. Building blocks of traits 7 Behavioral traits 8 Fewer of the same traits like number of arms, legs organs, etc. 9 Many of the same traits like number of arms, legs, organs, etc. 10 Proteins that are structurally smaller 11 Structure (shape) of the 2 or more proteins that the trait is made of 12 How is the size of a gene effected by the amount of base pairs it contains? Controlled variable??? 13 How is the size of a gene effected by the amount of base pairs it contains? Independent variable??? 14 Functional Traits 15 Proteins with the same shape/structure AND function 16 Proteins that are structurally bigger Organisms of the same species share... Size of a gene Genes made of more base pairs will make... Type of organism This determines the function/type of trait (hair color, eye color, heart rate, etc) that is created. Organisms from different species share... Genes made of the same bases will make this... Number of base pairs Genes made of fewer base pairs will make... 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. Genes made of different bases will make this... Protein This determines the structure (shape) of the 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) Traits that have to do with how an organism or species acts/what the organism does (sounds, actions, tendencies, etc)
