Question 1
1.

The Darwin’s bark spider on the left makes proteins that result in spider silk with high flexibility.

The Darwin’s bark spider on the right makes proteins that result in spider silk with low flexibility.

Both have the same parents.

Predict: Using the space below, Why do organisms make different proteins?

Question 2
2.

Question 3
3.

Launch the Sim. Then, follow the steps below.
  1. Press on any spider.
  2. Select a feature. Notice the traits and proteins the spider has for this feature.
  3. Press on the black boxes in the upper right corner of the screen to change the gene versions.
  4. Look for evidence that genes are instructions for proteins. Then, answer the questions below.
Question 4
4.

What Spider and what feature did you observe?

Question 5
5.

What did you observe in the cell when you changed the spider’s gene versions?

Sentence Stem:
I noticed that when I changed the spider's gene versions...

Question 6
6.

Do you think what you observed is evidence that genes are instructions for proteins? Why or why not?

(Hint: Did the trait change when you changed the gene? Why did the trait change?)

Question 22
22.

Directions: Below are two possible scenarios for the spider named Anne. Analyze each scenario, and answer the questions below.


Scenario A -

Body Color Genes C3 C3

Scenario B -

Body Color Genes C3 C1
Hint: look at the GENES.

Question 23
23.

Question 24
24.

What do you observe in the cell when Anne’s gene versions are changed in Scenario B?

Question 25
25.

Do you think what you observed is evidence that genes are instructions (if you change the gene, you change the protein) for proteins? Why or why not?

If two birds have the same protein for feather color, how must their proteins be functioning inside the cell?
If they have the same protein, the proteins must be connecting the same way.
Even though they have the same protein, their proteins might be connecting in different ways because they are different birds.
If two people have different proteins for hair color, what must be true about the protein molecules inside the cell?
They have different color hair because their proteins are connecting differently.
They have different color hair because they have different parents.
They have different color hair because their proteins are connecting the same.
How many proteins are needed for your blood to clot?
Ten
Eleven
Thirteen
Eighteen
