Structure (shape) of the 2 or more proteins that the trait is made of
Structural Traits
Many of the same traits like number of arms, legs, organs, etc.
Created by genes of the DNA. Building blocks of traits
Proteins that are structurally bigger
Proteins with different shapes/structures AND functions
The structure of the gene: size and base pairs it is made out of.
Proteins with the same shape/structure AND function
How is the size of a gene effected by the amount of base pairs it contains? Dependent variable???
How is the size of a gene effected by the amount of base pairs it contains? Controlled variable???
How is the size of a gene effected by the amount of base pairs it contains? Independent variable???
Behavioral traits
Proteins that are structurally smaller
Functional Traits
Fewer of the same traits like number of arms, legs organs, etc.
Trait
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)
Size of a gene
This determines the structure (shape) of the protein
Created when 2 or more different structured (shaped) proteins fit together. Used to distinguish species from one another & organisms from within the same species.
Organisms from different species share...
Genes made of different bases will make this...
Organisms of the same species share...
Protein
Traits that have to do with how an organism or species acts/what the organism does (sounds, actions, tendencies, etc)
Type of organism
Number of base pairs
This determines the function/type of trait (hair color, eye color, heart rate, etc) that is created.
Genes made of more base pairs will make...
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)
Genes made of fewer base pairs will make...
Genes made of the same bases will make this...
