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