Inheritance
Traits are passed from parents to what?
Offspring
What molecule are genes related to?
DNA
What do genes provide instructions for making?
Protiens
Complete the pattern: Genes → Proteins→______?
Traits
What type of animal is shown in the phenomenon?
Lovebirds
What word means characteristics passed from parents to offspring?
Traits
Genes are sections of what molecule?
DNA
Name one example of a protein in the human body
Human Skin, Hair, nails
What comes between genes and traits?
Proteins
Where are the lovebirds with unique colorations found?
In Captivity
Who passes inherited traits to offspring?
Parents
Which comes first in the relationship: DNA/genes or proteins?
DNA? Genes
Besides naming a protein, what should you be able to explain about it?
What it does in the human body
Put these in order: traits, genes, proteins
Genes → Proteins → Traits
What gene is used on page 2 to study the relationship between genes, proteins, and traits?
ALX1
What question from our notes connects parents and offspring?
“How are traits passed on from parent to offspring?”
Explain the relationship the notes ask you to investigate between genes and DNA.
Genes are related to DNA.
Give two examples of proteins in the human body and explain what they do
Kertain makes up much of human skin, hair, and nails.
Amylase helps humans break down carbohydrate they eat.
If a gene affects a protein, what can ultimately be affected?
Trait
The ALX1 example is used to explain the relationship among what three things?
Genes, Proteins, and traits
Explain how a trait can connect a parent to its offspring using our lesson vocabulary
Traits can be passed from parent to offspring through genetic information.
Explain how genes and DNA are connected using what you learned in the lesson.
Genes are made of parts of DNA
What is a protein, and give two examples from the human body with their function.
Protein is a type of molecule that makes up much of an organism's structure and helps it functions
Explain the complete relationship represented by Gene → Protein → Trait.
A gene provides information related to making a protein, and the protein contributes to a trait.
Using ALX1, explain the relationship between genes, proteins, and traits.
The ALX 1 genes carries instructions for how to make protein that are important for the development of the finch's face including the trait of the beak size.
