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