Can a change in a protein's shape affect a trait? Why or why not? O Yes, because proteins are the template to build DNA, which controls our traits O No, because shape is not related to function, so will not affect traits O No, because proteins are not related to traits, only DNA is Yes, because shape determines function and traits come from proteins

What are alleles? A) alternative forms of a genes for a single trait, such as blue eyes or brown eyesB)the location of genes on a chromosomeC) genes for different traits, such as hair color or eye color D)dominant form of a kind of characteristic carried by genesE) recessive forms of a kind of characteristic carried by genes
Which of the following does not describe a gene? A. A gene is the observable characteristics or traits B. All are correct C. Agene is a stretch of DNA that produces one or more genetic traits D. A gene is the basic unit of genetic information for a specific trait
Humans only have a few eye colors and only four ABO-based blood types. The same can be said for almost all traits. Based on genetic traits, humans are very similair in their DNA. How then, can DNA tests definitively identify individuals? (What is being looked at/tested?)
The majority of traits are what? (gene number)
8)Gene is a)The genetic composition that underlies a trait (or traits) b)DNA that controls when and where proteins are synthesized c)DNA of no known function d)DNA that provides instructions for building a protein e)DNA that provides the instructions for synthesizing various types of small RNA molecules f)An observable trait (or traits) of an organism
What are alleles? A) alternative forms of a genes for a single trait, such as blue eyes or brown eyesB)the location of genes on a chromosomeC) genes for different traits, such as hair color or eye color
Imagine that you are a doctor in a maternity ward. During your last shift, 20 babies were born. 10 had blue eyes, and 10 had brown eyes. Remember genotypes are the two alleles given for each trait, written with a letter. For this activity B =brown eyes b= blue eyes. Phenotypes are the physical appearance of the trait. Considering the possible genotypes you listed in question 3, what traits would the parents of brown-eyed and blue-eyed children have to have?
What is the difference between a gene and an allele? a. A gene is a form of a trait, and alleles make up genes. b. A gene is a sequence of bases in a DNA molecule, and an allele is an alternative version of a gene that codes for the same feature. c. A gene is a sequence of bases in a DNA molecule, and an allele is an alternative version of a gene that codes for a different, but related, feature. d. A gene describes a chromosome, and an allele describes an exact location of a gene on a chromosome. e. An allele and a gene are the same thing.
What is a genotype? Group of answer choices The genetic code for a trait The measure of the frequency of occurrence of a given trait An alternative form of a gene The observable trait
Which of the following are true about human variation? (Choose all that apply): Group of answer choices Genotype refers to how a person looks, through interaction of genes and environment. Siblings are more like each other, genetically, than they are to either of their parents. Usually, it is only identical twins (or sometimes triplets or other multiple births) who have identical DNA, and even so, there is still some phenotypic variation between them. You could have genes for being tall, but if your mother (or even grandmother) had poor nutrition during fetal gestation, you could be shorter than your genes allow. You can produce taller offspring by stretching and remembering to stand up as tall as you can.
You may have heard about the diet that is based on a persons blood type and claims to restore the bodys natural genetic rhythms and improve health. Research may one day reveal exactly which foods might best turn on and off specific genes to defend against specific chronic diseases. No doubt marketers will rush to fill grocery shelves with foods manufactured to match genetic profiles. Why do you think these genetic approaches to diet and health might be more or less appealing than eating patterns that include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, milk products, and meats?
A population of mice is at HardyWeinberg equilibrium at a gene locus that controls fur color. The locus has two alleles, M and m. A genetic analysis of one population reveals that 60% of its gametes carry the M allele. What percentage of mice contains both the M and m alleles? a. 60% b. 48% c. 40% d. 36% e. 16%
