Organisms from different species share...
Protein
Organisms of the same species share...
Fewer of the same traits like number of arms, legs organs, etc.
Created by genes of the DNA. Building blocks of traits
(breathing, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, circulatory system, etc)
A long molecule that contains the genetic code of each organism and holds instructions for making all the proteins.
Many of the same traits like number of arms, legs, organs, etc.
Found in every cell nucleus. This is the complete set of genetic instructions for making the entire organism.
Traits that have to do with how the different parts within the organism work to keep the organism alive
Builds the protein from the directions they get from the genes
DNA that is folded up so that it fits into the nucleus
sounds, actions, tendencies, etc
Shorter segments of DNA that contain specific instructions for making a protein
Traits that have to do with the shape or look of the parts that an organism is made out of
Created when 2 or more different structured (shaped) proteins fit together. Used to distinguish species from one another & organisms from within the same species.
organ shapes, sizes, eye color, number of limbs, shape of limbs, etc
Traits that have to do with how an organism or species acts/what the organism does
