Conclusion (claim)
Non-scientific question definition
Scientific Knowledge
1 set of genes
One gene
Two genes
Structure (shape) of the 2 or more proteins that the trait is made of
Heredity
This determines the structure (shape) of the protein
Created by genes in the DNA. Building blocks of traits
How genes are passed down from one generation to the next through sexual and asexual reproduction
Explanation based on experiments for why something is occurring.
Comes from observations during an experiment
Based on observations and multiple experiments
Number of alleles (gene variant copy) each complex organism has for a trait
Created when 2 or more different structured (shaped) proteins fit together. Used to distinguish species from one another & organisms from within the same species.
Questions that result in people sharing feelings, opinions, beliefs, or values
Number of sets of genes that you get from each parent in sexual reproduction
Number of sets of genes that each organism has that codes for the SAME protein
This determines the function/type of trait (hair color, eye color, heart rate, etc) that is created.
Non-feeling (rational) questions about the natural world and universe
Number of alleles (gene variant copy) you get from each parent during sexual reproduction
Each person has two gene "variant copies" for every trait. Each of these "variant copies" is this term.
Number of genes for each trait that the offspring (child) has
Explanation of something that occurs that is testable. Done before you do an experiment.
Number of genes each parent passes to their child for each trait
