Matching Pairs Flashcards - Alleles vs GenesOnline version Flashcards - Alleles vs Genes by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Hypothesis 2 Non-scientific question definition 3 Two sets of genes 4 Protein 5 Scientific Question Definition 6 One allele 7 Evidence 8 Two alleles 9 Allele definition 10 Scientific Knowledge 11 Two genes 12 One gene 13 Structure (shape) of the 2 or more proteins that the trait is made of 14 Heredity 15 Trait 16 1 set of genes 17 The structure of the gene: size and base pairs it is made out of. 18 Conclusion (claim) How genes are passed down from one generation to the next through sexual and asexual reproduction Number of genes each parent passes to their child for each trait Explanation based on experiments for why something is occurring. Number of sets of genes that you get from each parent in sexual reproduction Number of alleles (gene variant copy) each complex organism has for a trait Each person has two gene "variant copies" for every trait. Each of these "variant copies" is this term. Number of sets of genes that each organism has that codes for the SAME protein This determines the structure (shape) of the protein Number of genes for each trait that the offspring (child) has Non-feeling (rational) questions about the natural world and universe Based on observations and multiple experiments Explanation of something that occurs that is testable. Done before you do an experiment. Created by genes in the DNA. Building blocks of traits This determines the function/type of trait (hair color, eye color, heart rate, etc) that is created. Questions that result in people sharing feelings, opinions, beliefs, or values Comes from observations during an experiment 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 during sexual reproduction
