Offspring
Molecules attached to our cells that can sense a stimulus and start a signal that can travel to the brain.
Receptor Proteins
What is the connection between Chromosomes cells and nucleus
the nucleus is in the cell and the chromosomes are in the nucleus.
who is color blind
Joe
How does a protein's structure affect its function
A protein's structure determines its function
A physical characteristic of a person that can be passed down from a parent to a child.
inherent trait
A method of reproducing where offspring get half their genes from each parent at random.
Sexual Reproduction
Where are genes located in are bodies.
Everywhere in the body but not in things that don't have cells like hair or nail clippings they are made out of proteins.
Who is older Becky or Joe
Becky
How do some genes affect the structure of their proteins
The traits are determined by the structure of the proteins someone receives from their parents. The genes give the instructions to build a specific shaped protein
A nerve that carries signals from the rods and cones in the eye to the brain.
optic nerve
Versions of the same gene with slight variations in the genetic code
Allele
is a male XX YY or XY
XY
Who is the career of the color blindness mom or dad
Mom

Nucleus
how do scenes work
with cells everywhere that connect to the brain

Gene
why do people have different shaped proteins??
because people can have different genetic codes then others some can taste PTC and others cant
What caused Joe to be color blind?
The cones in his eye where similar sizes
Why do we have different Alleles then are parents
