Matching Pairs Reproduction and Genetics - FlashcardsOnline version Reproduction and Genetics - Flashcards by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Gamete 2 23 total (no pairs) chromosomes 3 Sexual Reproduction 4 Nucleus of Cell 5 No genetic Variation in the species 6 Genes 7 How is the size of a protein effected by the amount of base pairs (size of a gene)that code for it? Independent variable? 8 Chromosome 9 Genetic Variation in the species 10 23 pairs (46 total) chromosomes 11 How is the size of a protein effected by the amount of base pairs (size of a gene)that code for it? Controlled variable? 12 How is the size of a protein effected by the amount of base pairs (size of a gene)that code for it? Dependent variable? 13 Claim 14 Asexual & Sexual Reproduction 15 Asexual Reproduction 16 Evidence 17 Elaboration/Reasoning 18 Gene Explaining what the evidence means When a new organism is produced from combining the genetic information of two parent organisms. Half of chromosomes are from Mom & half from Dad Factual answer to a scientific question. Method of transferring genetic information to the offspring from the parent. Child has the same number of chromosomes as the parent. Form that genetic information that is transferred through sexual & asexual reproduction Same type of organism Where chromosomes are found The chromosomes (DNA) of the parent are copied exactly and the child is a replica of the parent. Sexual reproduction causes... size of the protein Number of chromosomes in a gamete cell: egg cell or sperm cell Number of chromosomes in a regular body cell: liver cell, skin cell, heart cell, etc. DNA that has been folded up to fit in the nucleus Asexual reproduction causes... Sex cells: egg cells & sperm cells A piece of the DNA that codes for making a protein how many base pairs Observations, numbers, data collected from an investigation
