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