Matching Pairs Reproduction and Genetics - MatchingOnline version Reproduction and Genetics - Matching by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Chromosome 2 Genes 3 How do the number of genes on a dna strand effect the size of the protein that it produces? Independent variable?? 4 How do the number of genes on a dna strand effect the size of the protein that it produces? Controlled variable?? 5 Gamete 6 Independent Variable 7 Asexual & Sexual Reproduction 8 Genetic Variation in the species 9 Nucleus of Cell 10 Asexual Reproduction 11 23 pairs (46 total) chromosomes 12 No genetic Variation in the species 13 Sexual Reproduction 14 Gene 15 How do the number of genes on a dna strand effect the size of the protein that it produces? Dependent variable?? 16 Dependent Variable 17 23 total (no pairs) chromosomes 18 Controlled Variable Method of transferring genetic information to the offspring from the parent. Child has the same number of chromosomes as the parent. Asexual & Sexual Reproduction Number of chromosomes in a regular body cell: liver cell, skin cell, heart cell, etc. DNA that has been folded up to fit in the nucleus the type of organism Variable we make different in an experiment how many genes When a new organism is produced from combining the genetic information of two parent organisms. Half of chromosomes are from Mom & half from Dad how big the protein is Where chromosomes are found The chromosomes (DNA) of the parent are copied exactly and the child is a replica of the parent. Form that genetic information that is transferred through sexual & asexual reproduction Variable that we measure in an experiment A piece of the DNA that codes for making a protein Sex cells: egg cells & sperm cells Number of chromosomes in a gamete cell: egg cell or sperm cell Sexual reproduction causes... Asexual reproduction causes... The variable that we keep the same in an experiment
