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