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