A random change to a gene that sometimes results in a new trait

The part of the cell where the genes are located

An organism produced as a result of reproduction

The parts of the cell that build protein molecules based on instruction from genes

Each person in a family has the same traits. There are no differences in traits between parents and offspring or among siblings.

Traits, such as your hair or eye color, are determined by the proteins made by ribosomes in your body.

There are two genes that decide each of your traits, and those two genes are always exactly alike.

An offspring cannot have a trait if neither of its parents have it.

One wildcat in a family has a mutation for tooth sharpness, which means that there must have been a change in the wildcat's:

Rabbit friends (not related) have different shaped ears because:

How does an organism inherit every 2 copies of their genes?

Wolf 1 has copies of a gene that are different from each other.

Wolf 2 has copies of a gene that are the same as each other.

How does this affect the number of proteins each wolf has?

Two bears are unrelated but have the same proteins for ear shape. How will their ears compare with each other?

A tree frog has a mutation for their poison feature. This means:
