These little bunnies (A,B, and C) were born in the same litter to the same parents, but they have different traits for the feature of ear thickness. Bunny A has thick ears, bunny B has average ears, and bunny C has thin ears.

How did these bunnies end up with ear thicknesses that are different from one another even though they have the same parents?

How did the gene combinations result in the different traits?

Match the vocabulary word with the definition.
mutation
a specific form of a gene that provides instructions for making a particular protein molecule; a gene version
trait
a characteristic that all members of a species have
allele
when a male and a female reproductive cell combine to create an offspring
fertilization
an instruction for making a protein molecule
variation
to receive genes from a parent
inherit
a random change to a gene that sometimes results in a new trait
feature
the part of a cell where genes are found
ribosomes
an organism produced as a result of reproduction
nucleus
the parts of the cell that build protein molecules based on instructions from genes
gene
a specific characteristic of an individual organism
offspring
any difference in traits between individual organisms
Match the term with the genotype.
Heterozygous
TT
Homozygous Dominant
tt
Homozygous Recessive

Sh’qira reads an article about a family of wildcats. One of them had a mutation for tooth sharpness. Which of these statements about the wildcat with the mutation is true?
There must have been a change in the wildcat’s genes.
The wildcat must have sharper teeth.
There will be no change to the wildcat’s teeth.
The wildcat must have less sharp teeth.
There are two junco birds that each have different proteins in their cells for beak pointiness. They have different parents. What can you say about the birds' beak pointiness?
They will have the same beak pointiness because even with different proteins for beak pointiness, the proteins can connect in the same way.
They will have different beak pointiness since offspring from different parents will have different beak pointiness.
They will have different beak pointiness since their proteins for beak pointiness are different so the proteins will connect in different ways.
They will have the same beak pointiness since all junco birds have the same beak pointiness.
Two rabbits have different parents. One rabbit has ears that flop over, and the other rabbit has ears that stand straight up. Why do the rabbits have ears with different shapes?
The rabbits have different versions of the gene for ear shape. The genes are only standing straight up in the cells of one rabbit’s ears.
The rabbits have different versions of the gene for ear shape, which instruct for different proteins that connect in different ways to make different ear shapes.
Each rabbit has a different ear shape because offspring from different parents will have different ear shapes.
A father sheep has curly wool while a mother sheep has straight wool. Which of these statements explains why one of their baby lambs has curly wool?
The baby lamb inherited its copies of the gene for wool shape from its father and not from its mother. Just like its father’s genes, those genes instruct for proteins that connect in ways that make its wool curly.
The baby lamb inherited one copy of the gene for wool shape from its father and one copy from its mother. That gene combination instructs for proteins that make its wool curly.
Two sharks have different parents. The two sharks have different proteins in their cells for the dark color on the tip of their fins. What can you say about the color on the tip of the two sharks' fins?
The fins will be the same color since all sharks have the same fin color.
The fins will be the same color because even with different proteins for fin color, the proteins can connect in the same way.
The fins will be different colors since offspring from different parents will have different colored fins.
The fins will be a different color since their proteins for fin color are different so the proteins will connect in different ways.
Two fruit flies have different parents. One fruit fly has orange eyes while the other has red eyes. Why do the fruit flies have different eye colors?
Each fruit fly has a different eye color because offspring from different parents will have different eye colors.
Each fruit fly has a different eye color because they have different versions of the gene for eye color that connect together to make different eye colors.
The fruit flies have different versions of the gene for eye color, which instruct for different proteins that connect in different ways to make different eye colors.
The fruit flies have different versions of the gene for eye color, and the genes are different colors in each fruit fly’s eyes.
A father parakeet has blue chest feathers while a mother parakeet has green chest feathers. Which of these statements explains why their baby parakeet has blue chest feathers?
The baby parakeet inherited its copies of the gene for feather color from its father and not from its mother. Just like its father’s genes, those genes instruct for proteins that connect in ways that make its feathers blue.
The baby parakeet inherited one copy of the gene for feather color from its father and one copy from its mother. That gene combination instructs for proteins that connect in ways that make its feathers blue.
What is a mutation and how does it affect genes
A mutation is a growth on an organism
A mutation is a copy of a gene
A mutation is a change in an organisms genes
A mutation is a feature of an organism
What do gene versions do?
Make the proteins
Provide instructions for proteins
Pass on the genes to the offspring
How do different protein structures in cells determine traits?
Different protein structures affect how they connect to the other protein molecules
Different protein structures have no effect on connecting genes
Different protein structures can change the gene
Different protein structures provide instructions
How do organisms get their traits?
They get their traits from their environment
They inherit one copy of a gene from their mother
They inherit one copy of a gene version from their mother and one copy from their father
They get their traits from the proteins they eat
Why do siblings with the same parents differ from each other?
Siblings get different amounts of genes from their mother or father making them different
Each sibling has a mutation that causes them to have different traits
Siblings use their environment and experiences to determine their traits
Offspring inherit different combinations of gene versions from their parents
How does sexual reproduction result in a variation among offspring?
Organisms usually inherit their traits from the parent that lives in the same environment.
Each gene version provides a unique set of instructions to make a protein.
Protein molecules interact with other protein molecules.
Each parent randomly passes on one of its two copes of each gene to its offspring.
