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