Part 2: Alleles Practice


Link to Sim: https://learning.amplify.com/traitsandreproduction/#/
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
Question 2
2.

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.

In this section, you will need to use the sim to create offspring that need to meet specific conditions.

Each section has different conditions that need to be met.
