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