traits.

What is the relationship between a gerie and a protein?
2. What is an allele?
env of the alternative formn of â trânê thal mav
3. rilhat

term describes a pair of alleles that are the same? that are different?
homozvoous: heterozvoous
4.
lVrite
a
definition of homologous chromosomes using the terms "gene" and "allele."
Homologous chromosomes are two chromosomes, one from the mother and one from the father, that have
the same length, overall appearanc€, and gones, although the alleles may dlffer.
ïn the space belou draw a pair of homologous chromosomes. Label the ohromosomes with
two sets of genes, one with homozygous alleles (Gene A, Gene A) and one with heterozygous
alleles (Gene B, Gene b).
cGt
lmages should be similar to the Vlsual Vocab on pg, 180
in the textbook. Students will label Gene A, Gene A, gene B,
and Gene b.
