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