This is known as instructions for proteins.
What are genes?
This is the arachnid that we were studying examples of their reproduction the whole unit.
What is Darwin Bark spiders?
How many copies of a gene do we inherit from each parent?
What is one copy.
Where are chromosomes and DNA in the cell?
What is the nucleus.
This is a random change to a gene that sometimes results in a new trait.
What is a mutation?
This is also referred to as the child of the parent.
What is offspring?
How many chromosome pairs do we have in our DNA?
What is 23
True and/or False. You will inherit the same traits as your siblings.
True and False
(same if you are identical twins)
A characteristic that all members of a species have.
What is a feature.
To receive genes from a parent.
What is inherit.
Which statement is the more true?
1. Each goldfish has a different tail shape because offspring from different parents will have different tail shapes.
2. The goldfish have different versions of the gene for tail shape, which instruct for different proteins that connect in different ways to make different tail shapes.
What is #2 - The goldfish have different versions of the gene for tail shape, which instruct for different proteins that connect in different ways to make different tail shapes.
If I were to change the gene version of the spider's body color, what would happen?
The genes would instruct the cell to make new/different proteins which could result in a new trait.
Gene versions that are different.
What is heterozygous?
A type of reproduction that can happen with only 1 organism.
What is Asexual Reproduction?
A characteristic that is specific to an individual organism.
What is a trait.
If Dad's gene version is A1A2 and Mom's gene version is A1A3 - What could the offspring's gene versions be?
What is A1A1, A1A3, A1A2, or A2A3.
This is a specific form of a gene that provides instructions for making a particular protein molecule.
What is a gene version and/or allele
When the male and female reproductive cells combine to create offspring.
What is fertilization?
If Mom's gene version was heterozygous and Dad's gene version was recessive homozygous, what is my chance of inheriting Mom's trait?
What is 50%
Which of these statements is more correct?
1 - The young goat inherited one copy of the gene for horn shape from its mother and one copy from its father. Those genes instruct for proteins that connect in ways that make its downward-curved horns.
2 -The young goat inherited its copies of the gene for horn shape from its mother and not from its father. Just like its mother’s genes, those genes instruct for proteins that connect in ways that make its downward-curved horns.
What is #1 - The young goat inherited one copy of the gene for horn shape from its mother and one copy from its father. Those genes instruct for proteins that connect in ways that make its downward-curved horns.
