How something works
Function
The function of this depends on its structure and how it interacts with other ones of its own kind.
Protein Molecule

Nucleus of the cells
Any difference in traits between individual organisms.
Variation
A different protein molecule structure can sometimes result in differences in these, even among family members.
Traits
This type of silk has protein molecules that has some connections to other protein molecules.
Medium Flexibility

Feature
Gene versions come from.....
inheriting one copy of the gene from its mother and one copy from the father. That gene combination instructs for proteins that connect in specific ways.
