Ex: eye color, hair color, etc The variable we keep the same A different recipe that makes the same type of food Base pairs that are used to make up the genetic codes or combinations of genes Builds the protein Shorter segments of DNA that contain specific instructions for a trait Where DNA is stored in Eukaryotic cells DNA that is folded up so that it fits into the nucleus The variable we measure in an experiment. The entire finished meal that is made up of 2 or more proteins: steak, potatoes, salad, and dessert The study of genetics and how traits are passed on to the next generation of organisms (kids) All the ingredients in an entire meal together: steak, salad, dessert Total number of chromosomes in the cells of humans The variable we change in an experiment. Complete set of genetic instructions for making the entire organism A long molecule that contains the genetic code of each organism and holds instructions for making all the proteins The building blocks of traits. Gives cells structure, shape, specific processes, and are involved in the expressions of traits. A synonym for a trait
