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