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