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