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