How can mutation in gene lead to a new trait in an organism?
The mutated gene codes for a protein that cause a new trait
What is the meaning of thr word genes?
A gene is a functional unit on DNA. A gene codes for a protein. Most of the DNA in a genome does not code for protein. These non-coding sequences are thought to provide a sense of stability and integrity to the genome. If a DNA sequence is capable of coding for a functional protein, then it is a gene
What do you call a variation to a particular characteristic?
A trait
What molecule codes for a trait?
DNA > Gene > Amino Acids > Protein > Specialized Cell > Trait
What do genes proteins and trait have to do with one anthor?
A trait is an inherited characteristic of an organism. One example is eye color. When a gene codes for the trait "brown eye color" we mean that the person has proteins in her eyes that are shaped to reflect the brown color. The reason she has those particular proteins is because she has the gene that is the instructions for those specific proteins. So: the gene is the instruction to make the protein that is the expression of the trait.
What is the path from a gene to a trait?
DNA-Transcription-RNA-Translation-Protein-Trait
How can mutation in gene lead to a new trait in an organism?
The mutated gene codes for a protein that cause a new trait
What decides a trait?
When more than one gene influences that particular trait.

Organisms that have identical alleles for a particular trait are called?
There is no particular relationship between organisms that have identical alleles for a particular trait.
Organism that have two identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be?
Organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be? homozygous
What can cause particular trait to become more common in a population?
When it comes that a particular trait being spread though a population, it is called reproduction.
What must be done to breed for a particular trait?
Mate 2 dogs that have the desired trait.
A plant that is hybrid for a trait is?
Has one dominant and one recessive gene for that particular trait.
A trait is a variation of a particular character?
true
What do you call a variation to a particular characteristic?
A trait
