Document Summary
More specifically, a stretch of dna that codes for a single protein; We often think of a gene as encoding the expression of a single trait, such as eye color; In fact, one gene may greatly influence an individual"s eye color, but most genes influence more than one trait. A specific location on a chromosome; roughly synonymous with gene. One of two or more variants of a gene, which typically code for slightly different proteins which in turn yield different forms of the trait(s) in question. A description of the alleles present at one or more loci of a given individual. The observable characters of an individual; a consequence of both genotype and environment. Inheritance of continuously variable traits influenced by mulitple loci. The next time a toad sees a bumblebee, it refuses to eat the bee. No longer initiate the fap even visually stimulated by the bee. Even an innate behavior can be modified by learning.
