Matching Pairs Matching - Alleles vs GenesOnline version Matching - Alleles vs Genes by Benjamin D Morgan 1 One allele 2 Structure (shape) of the 2 or more proteins that the trait is made of 3 Heredity 4 1 set of genes 5 Two sets of genes 6 The structure of the gene: size and base pairs it is made out of. 7 How is global warming effected by the amount of cars on the road? Independent variable? 8 Two genes 9 Protein 10 Allele definition 11 How is global warming effected by the amount of cars on the road? dependent variable? 12 One gene 13 How is global warming effected by the amount of cars on the road? Controlled variable? 14 Trait 15 Two alleles Number of sets of genes that you get from each parent in sexual reproduction This determines the function/type of trait (hair color, eye color, heart rate, etc) that is created. How genes are passed down from one generation to the next through sexual and asexual reproduction Created when 2 or more different structured (shaped) proteins fit together. Used to distinguish species from one another & organisms from within the same species. Created by genes in the DNA. Building blocks of traits Number of genes each parent passes to their child for each trait Number of sets of genes that each organism has that codes for the SAME protein outside temperature Number of alleles (gene variant copy) you get from each parent This determines the structure (shape) of the protein how global warming is effected Each person has two gene "variant copies" for every trait. Each of these "variant copies" is this term. how many cars are on the road Number of genes for each trait that the offspring (child) has Number of alleles (gene variant copy) each organism has for a trait
