Vocab #1
The chromosome found in only males
Y chromosome
name 2 types of scences
Touch, taste, sight.
The chromosome that's found in both male and females
X chromosome
Is Joe colorblind or is Becky colorblind?
Joe
What is our bodies built from
Proteins
Cells in the back of your eyes that help you see black and white
Rods
Name some physical scenes
Facial hair, hair color, chin color, eye color, freckles.
Chemical building blocks that makes up genes
DNA
How much genes did Joe get from each parent
50%
What is the connection of a protein and its shape
The shape of protein determines how it functions
Different versions of the same gene
Allele
How do human taste stuff
Papillae contains taste buds which are special groups of cells that send signals to the brain
Cells in the back of the eye that helps us see color
Cones
Why is Joe colorblind?
Joe is colorblind because the protein is shaped differently.
What building block makes up our protein?
Amino Acids
Organelle in cells that contain the genes
Nucleus
How do humans see color?
Lights need to hit specialized cone
A detectable change in the environment( for example, lights, sound, touch, etc)
Stimulus
What's a reason included with Allele and opsins that joe is colorblind
Because Joe got a colorblind allele from his mom but not a opsin sense from his dad
The resulting arrangement of amino acids determines what?
The shape of the protein
A chemical reaction within a human cell that travels along a nerve cell to the brain
Signal
How do our scenes work
by using specialized cells that send signals through the nerves to the brain then the brain processes the signal
The 20 different building blocks that makes up all the proteins in the body
Amino acids
Why is Joes opsin protein different than Becky's?
They have a different genetic code
How is the shape of a protein related to genetic code
Because the genetic code determines which amino acids are used in which order to build the protein
or The order of amino acids determines the shape of protein and the genetic code determines the amino acids.
