Independent variable? 7 Two sets of genes 8 Two alleles 9 1 set of genes 10 How is global warming effected by the amount of cars on the road? Controlled variable? 11 Protein 12 One allele 13 Structure (shape) of the 2 or more proteins that the trait is made of 14 Allele definition 15 The structure of the gene: size and base pairs it is made out of. Number of genes for each trait that the offspring (child) has How genes are passed down from one generation to the next through sexual and asexual reproduction Number of sets of genes that each organism has that codes for the SAME protein Number of genes each parent passes to their child for each trait Number of sets of genes that you get from each parent in sexual reproduction Number of alleles (gene variant copy) each organism has for a trait 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 how many cars are on the road outside temperature how global warming is effected Created by genes in the DNA. Building blocks of traits 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 alleles (gene variant copy) you get from each parent Each person has two gene "variant copies" for every trait. Each of these "variant copies" is this term.
