Part 2: Modeling Variation in Spider Offspring


So far in this unit, we’ve been trying to understand the following question: Why do Darwin’s bark spiders make different proteins for silk flexibility?

Question 5
5.

Using what you’ve learned so far, answer that question, using the terms proteins, heterozygous, and homozygous.

Sentence Starter:
Darwin Bark Spiders make different proteins for silk flexibility because...

Question 11
11.
Offspring A is __________, this means they have __________version(s) of this gene. Because they have __________ versions of this gene, their cells will have __________ types of protein(s).
Question 12
12.

OFFSPRING A -

Explain how the proteins connect to make the trait for silk flexibility.

Hint:
1. Genes = ?
2. Are they homozygous/heterozygous?
3. What does that mean for proteins?
4. How do they connect?

Sentence Starter:

Offspring __ is ____because he has (one/two) copies of the gene. Allele ___ instructs for Protein ____ (and allele ___ instructs for Protein ____. This means that ______

(talk about how the proteins connect - how many connectors and what that means for the type of silk flexibility)
