Objective: KWBAT obtain and evaluate information about inheritance in humans and what can cause offspring to have different gene combinations even though they have the same parents.
Match the definition with the correct vocabulary term.

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.

I mated the female spider with the male spider . I focused on the feature of .
How did the offspring’s alleles compare to their parents’ gene versions?
Did all of the offspring have identical alleles as their parents?
How did the traits of the offspring compare to the parents' traits?
Did all of the offspring have the same traits as their parents?
Reflect on Part 4, what did you have to do to get each family tree to have the same traits for each feature?

Use the sim to do the following:
Make all Parents and all offspring have the same trait for MEDIUM SILK FLEXIBILITY.
Take a screenshot of the family tree and add it here.
What gene versions resulted in the MEDIUM SILK FLEXIBILITY Trait?
Use the sim to do the following:
Make both Parents and all offspring have the same trait for STICKY SILK.
Take a screenshot of the family tree and add it here.
What gene versions resulted in the STICKY SILK Trait?
Use the sim to do the following:
Make all Parents and all offspring have the same trait for NO VENOM.
Take a screenshot of the family tree and add it here.
What gene versions resulted in the NO VENOM Trait?
Use the sim to do the following:
Make all Parents and all offspring have the same trait for SPARSE bristles.
Take a screenshot of the family tree and add it here.
What gene versions resulted in the SPARSE BRISTLES Trait?
Use the sim to do the following:
Make all Parents and all offspring have the same trait for COLORLESS.
Take a screenshot of the family tree and add it here.
What gene versions resulted in the COLORLESS Trait?
