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