Gene Versions & Proteins

What is a gene version?

• a specific form of a gene that provides instructions for making a particular protein molecule

• having gene versions that are the same

• having gene versions that are different

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

Three tigers all have the same proteins for stripe pattern in their cells. What can you say about the tigers' stripe patterns, will they be the same or different?

• They will have the same stripe patterns since their proteins for stripe pattern are the same so the proteins will connect in the same way.

• They will have different stripe patterns since their proteins for stripe pattern are different and do not connect.
