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