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