Introduction to Animals | Genes and DNA | Traits and Inheritance |
---|---|---|
What is an Animal?
An animal is a living organism that feeds on organ matter.
|
How do DNA works?
DNA stores a code that carries the instructions for making proteins.
|
What are genes?
Genes are the instruction for inherited traits?
|
What are Invertebrates?
Invertebrates are living organism without a backbone, like a slug.
|
What does DNA look like?
The structure of DNA is a double helix, which is shaped like a twisted ladder.
|
What are alleles?
Alleles are the alternative forms of a gene that governs a characteristic, such as hair color.
|
What are Vertebrates?
Vertebrates are living organism that have a backbone, like us humans.
|
What is DNA made of?
DNA is made of subunits called nucleotide.
|
What are phenotype?
Phenotype are organism's appearance or other detectable characteristic.
|
How many basic type of symmetry does an Animal body have?
Animal bodies have two basic type of symmetry?
|
What are nucleotides?
A nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phospate, and a base.
|
What are genotype?
Genotype are the attire genetic makeup of an organism;also the combination of genes for one or more specific traits.
|
What is a consumer?
A consumer is an organism that eats other organisms or organic matter.
|
How are Protein related to traits?
Proteins are found throughout cells and cause most of the differences that you can see among organisms.
|
What are genetic variations?
Genetic variation are the differences in the sets of alleles between individuals in a population.
