Match the definition with the correct vocabulary term.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Fertilization		Instruction for protein
Heterozygous		a specific form of a gene that provides instructions for making a particular protein molecule
Gene		having gene versions that are the same
Allele		having gene versions that are different
Sperm Cell		Reproductive Cell from Father
Trait		Reproductive cell from Mother
Variation		To receive genes from a parent
Homozygous		any difference in traits between individual organisms
Inherit		when a male and a female reproductive cell combine to create an offspring
Egg Cell		a specific characteristic of an individual organism

We have learned to break down what gene versions mean. Now, you will practice identifying what some of the gene versions mean.

You might need the sim to complete this task.

Hint: The letter for each gene version stands for a FEATURE we have investigated in the sim.

0

Identify what the letter means, what the numbers mean, and what type of proteins will be produced for each Gene Version.

Example:
Gene Version S1S2:
S represents Silk Stickiness.
The proteins that are produced are Protein 1 and Protein 2.
The gene version is heterozygous.
